"what I wish I'd known before becoming a Peace Corps volunteer."

Oregon lawmakers pass new notification rules for schools when ICE comes on campus Oregon lawmakers have approved a bill that would require schools to provide notice when ICE officers are spotted on campus.

Under HB 4079, school districts would need to develop a policy to identify when federal immigration officers are on school property—and then inform parents, staff, some students, and some service providers about those sightings.

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.

This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon. History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.

Oh my god: this is *daytime* in Tehran.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Reading about the woman & her aunt hiking in Utah, & the elderly woman who lived nearby, all murdered in one day by the same man.
The man saw only credit cards & cards. He also decided the woman & her aunt were lesbians.
These women were just living their lives. All he saw was targets.
