A federal judge on Thursday blocked key parts of a sweeping anti-voting executive order issued by President Trump last month.
Voting rights advocates had described the order as “an astonishing and unprecedented voter suppression” effort. @ariberman.bsky.social reports:

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

National Weather Forecast offices are literally being forced to cripple their own ability to properly forecast weather and communicate it to the public thanks to the senseless budget cuts to NOAA. This will almost certainly result in an increase in weather-related injuries and deaths.
The Sacramento weather service office just sent an email detailing product changes amid "critically reduced staffing"
Highlights:
Phone lines no longer answered
Reduced staffing from 6pm to 6am
Forecast discussions issued only 1x/day
Limited social media posting
Advisories mainly issued by day shift

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
