Half our songbirds have vanished in 50 years. New research shows birds that use wool and fur to line nests were exposed to pet and livestock flea treatment. Eggs and chicks are being contaminated – with deadly implications. Should these medicines be regulated?

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.
Renee Good memorial site in south Minneapolis doused in gasoline
Damage from a burning pile of wood was minimal but police are investigating.

There has been constant vandalism at Silverio's memorial (which has a much smaller footprint than Renée's):
In Franklin Park, IL this afternoon—
Across the street from where ICE shot and killed Silverio Villegas González two weeks ago, a small gathering is ongoing. Folks are cleaning up the memorial site.
An organizer tells us people have been periodically damaging it and breaking candles.

My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

The judge said absolutely no AI glasses with facial recognition can be worn in the courtroom.
If anyone has already used them to record jurors, “you must delete it or you will be held in contempt of court.”
“This is very serious,” Judge Kuhl said.

The Block The Bombs Act has been a brilliant tool in terms of clarifying the debates as the 2026 midterms come closer and the primaries begin to be held. I think a settler goods import ban would be also a great tool.

It is equally perplexing that not a single member of Congress has thought to introduce a bill which would ban the importation of all settler goods.
Interesting that the statement issued by 80+ countries at the UN on the issue of Israel's "de facto annexation" measures reiterated a commitment to taking proactive steps in line with the ICJ ruling on the illegality of the occupation, and yet not a single major European power has done so yet.
