It's not a remarkable rebuke, it's a remarkable level of utter incompetence and lawlessness by the DOJ and its unqualified political hack prosecutors to even think it would work.
Breaking News: Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against six Democrats who posted a video reminding members of the military to refuse illegal orders.
Prosecutors Fail to Bring Charges Against Democrats Involved in Illegal Orders Video
The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes.

This kind of sneer feels remarkably out of character for Hank Green but I guess it's of the moment
I've been hearing people who are witnessing the impacts of AI on coding saying, "Aside from physical labor, the thing people should be focusing on is...mmm...I don't know what to call it..."
...and then they haltingly describe a liberal arts education.

If they can cut off the software for no valid reason once, they can do it again. Take this as a wakeup call not to settle.
Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Seamus Culleton describes conditions as ‘torture’ as he pleads with taoiseach to raise his case with Donald Trump
An Irish man who has been held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for five months despite having a valid work permit and no criminal record says he fears for his life and has appealed for help from Ireland’s government.
Seamus Culleton said conditions at his detention centre in Texas were akin to “torture” and that the atmosphere was volatile. “I’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.” Continue reading...

Zum Punkt, dass die Europäer vollends damit beschäftigt seien, ihre eigenen Demokratien zu verteidigen und nicht noch nebenher die US-Demokratie verteidigen können.
Ja, aber:
Das ist kein Zielkonflikt, sondern eine Synergie, dh: US-Demokratie verteidigen = europäische Demokratien mitverteidigen.

Europa darf zum Autoritarismus in den USA nicht schweigen
Europa hat zwar auf die außenpolitischen Verfehlungen der Trump-Regierung reagiert. Es sollte aber auch klare Worte zu den Vorgängen in den USA selbst finden – in demokratischer Solidarität

Ansonsten: In den meisten Städten kann man sich auch so einen Platz mieten, kostet 10 EUR die Stunde. Kurse gibt es für 200/300 EUR (aber das macht man vielleicht 1-2 mal zum Reinkommen). Schläger fängt bei 100 EUR an, dazu ein paar Schuhe und Bälle.
