We Went to a Yacht Party for the Most Pro-Deportation People in DC. The Mass Deportation Coalition is quite literally making waves in Washington.

The Trump administration’s new “public charge” rule is raising alarm among advocates. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced it was rescinding a 2022 rule that defined who would be designated a “public charge,” itself something of a charged term, not only because it paints immigrants as potential economic burdens, but also because its definition has been debated in U.S. policy for over a century.

Why did ICE hire David Brouillette? ICE officer in Maine shooting has history of violent behavior, family and records say.

# Education / Schools / Libraries and Museums
The biggest threat to students isn’t curriculum or AI. It’s chronic absence. From public officials to parents, everyone seems to be worried about public education. Controversial curriculum, longer school years and learning loss have spurred countless campaigns to fix them. But one of the most damaging issues in our school system isn’t in the classroom. It’s when children aren’t in the classroom at all.

“You shouldn’t be able to order the military to carry out extrajudicial executions of fishermen and/or low-level drug runners that violate both domestic and international law, and then simply return to your job as a weekend cable news host once the other party retakes the White House.” More on a call for Congress to create a cause of action that would allow people harmed by excessive federal law enforcement actions to more easily sue for damages

Welcome to Your Friendly 21st-Century Panopticon: The debate over aggressive surveillance has historically centered on the state – government was the Big Brother in “1984,” reaching into and dominating every facet of human life. That’s understandable: It wields immense power. But technological breakthroughs are now reshaping fears about spying to include the guy recording his surroundings while sitting next to you in the coffee shop or the reclusive neighbor with the “smart” doorbell that watches you, unblinking, every time you leave the house.

Invisible drones? Yes: Invisible. Drones. New spinning drone hides in plain sight. ‘Phantom Twist’ harnesses motion blur to nearly vanish in flight. For years, researchers have tried to design invisible drones and robots using camouflage, transparent materials or light-bending optical systems. But the Northwestern team instead used a concept called “motion blur” — the same effect that makes fast-spinning fans and propellers seem to disappear.
