Communities fight 'corporate' bid for seaweed rights Communities on Ireland's west coast say they will fight to safeguard their traditional seaweed rights against what they describe as a "corporate takeover "of their livelihoods.

Myself and Colin Breen have written in "Maritime Ireland" about seaweed harvesting on Ireland's coastline, in 19th century. These are local rights, well known and established through built features (e.g. wrack walls, kilns, etc). There is no way that such rights be taken over by foreign companies.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

The FAA quietly created drone no-fly zones around β€œselect locations” and β€œmobile assets” controlled by DHS.

But how could reporters with drones identify such assets when ICE uses unmarked vehicles?

Watch FPF’s @adamrose.bsky.social explain these restrictions and how they impact journalists.

This is a portion of the video taken by Perseverance during its touchdown sequence, showing the Skycrane lowering the rover before cutting the bridles and flying away to its destruction.

Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump's TPS end looms - Jewish Telegraphic Agency "That reminds me of Anne Frank,” said the CEO of one Jewish senior residence reeling as Temporary Protected Status for Haitians is set to end.

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors.

Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments..."

Sanctuary policies are legal. The Supreme Court has been clear for decades that the federal government cannot commandeer state or local governments to enforce federal immigration law. This isn’t β€œplaying with fire.” It’s constitutional law.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

β€œWhen they say, β€˜Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. β€œMy nation is under attack."
