Egypt detains 200 Gaza protesters, including about 30 from Netherlands
Egyptian authorities have detained approximately 200 pro-Palestinian activists from more than 40 countries, including about 30 from the Netherlands, ahead of a planned protest march to the Gaza border. Many Dutch participants reportedly said they were subjected to “unjust and humiliating treatment,” including being held for hours without food, water, medical care, or information.
Approximately 100 Dutch nationals had traveled to Egypt for the march, representing a diverse range of backgrounds, according to the Dutch public broadcaster NOS. Among them were students, teachers, healthcare workers, retirees and artists. Organizers said 18 members of the European Parliament were also expected to join the protest.
One of those detained was the sister of Mark van Rennes, the captain of the protest ship Madleen, who is currently imprisoned in Israel. She was among approximately 30 Dutch activists deported from Egypt to Istanbul, Turkey. She has since confirmed her arrival in Istanbul and is expected to land at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport around 2 p.m., likely accompanied by many of the other deported Dutch citizens, NOS reported.

Not in the field, but I think it depends. It's for sure more dangerous on average if we consider the entire world, but I feel like that's mostly because of certain areas (US w/ toothless FAA and ATC shortage, Russia with the war&part shortages etc, ...) and new Boeing aircraft.
Flying is still the safest mode of travel per km, and if you're flying Airbus/Embraer/COMAC/pre-2010 Boeing it's likely as safe as it was a decade ago. However it kinda sucks due to all the greenhouse gas emissions.
Paranoid Kash Patel polygraphs FBI agents in MAGA purge
The FBI has devolved into chaos amid Director Kash Patel’s ongoing efforts to rid the agency of staff disloyal to the Trump administration.
Patel is now subjecting senior executives to polygraphs at a “rapid rate,” The New York Times reports, as part of a wider effort to stamp out embarrassing news leaks from within the agency.
One senior official told the Times in its exposé that he was forced out last month after being subjected to a lie detector test. He believes he was targeted because he hadn’t told Patel about his wife taking a knee during the 2020 protests against police brutality in Washington, D.C.

Trump was not informed of Ukraine attack on Russia
Trump was not informed of a recent Ukrainian attack on Russia, The Hill’s sister network NewsNation confirmed Sunday.
According to NewsNation’s Tanya Noury, an administration official said the president was not given a heads-up about the drone attack that a Ukrainian security official alleged destroyed more than 40 planes well within Russian territory, according to The Associated Press.

George Stephanopoulos Rips Trump for Monetizing Presidency
George Stephanopoulos, on Sunday, ripped President Donald Trump — highlighting the “unprecedented money-making by a sitting president and his family.”
In a scorching show open on ABC’s This Week, Stephanopoulos called out the Trumps for cashing in on the office — while noting that those who are filling the Trump family coffers are benefitting from “official actions” taken by the White House.
“The scale is staggering,” Stephanopoulos said. “President Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions, potentially billions of dollars — as Trump and his administration take official actions that benefit contributors and investors.”
The ABC News anchor called out Trump’s “pardons to tax cheats,” and various windfalls originating from the Trump family’s foray into cryptocurrency.

"Official Actions". Two very important words, because thanks to the Supreme Court even a future Congress can't even investigate this, much less do anything about it. And forget about this congress lifting a god damned finger, outside of the middle one they keep giving to the people who voted for them.
Thiago Ávila's message to his daughter
"Dear Tereza,
I’m sorry for not being around these past days, but Daddy was trying to bring food to other children as beautiful as you. Unfortunately, they are starving because some people don’t understand that every human being has the right to freedom.
Your father is one of the millions of people doing something to end the greatest violation of rights of our generation.
I truly hope to come home soon. I think of you and your mother every day. And that is why I cannot accept that the world we live in has so much exploitation, oppression, and destruction.
Do not be afraid for your father. I am okay and hopeful."

Don't give Trump what he wants
For the protests Trump is hoping for one of two outcomes:
- The protests escalate and he seizes power just like Hitler did: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
- People roll over, stay silent and comply with the administration out of fear.
If fact I wonder if #1 would be more ideal for Trump because it would be a unifying cause for Republicans who are currently divided and soon face economic uncertainty. Remember that Trump's polling was worst in April during times of greatest economic uncertainty. However let's not give him either of those. Let's humiliate Trump by making all the people he brought in, in hopes of escalating useless and bored. Imagine the pictures of them standing around with nothing to do. It will foil the well used dictator playbook for seizing power.
The reality is a vast, vast majority of the protests are going to be peaceful no matter what. The problem is that the media even the mainstream media will focus on any violence there is so we need we really need to be as perfect as we can so let's do everything we can to ensure that every single protest remains as peaceful as possible and also take charge of the narrative too.
What we need to do is protest peacefully and lawfully, be a little more spread out, stay away from situations that are violent. I'd also recommend staying away from police and military. Use the time to expose Trump's corruption and educate people and bring new people to the movement and maybe even help register people to vote. By building a broad peaceful coalition we can reach even those who are stuck in echo chambers where they will only see what little violence there is and not notice the peaceful protests. The only way to break through is to protest peacefully in your city so they can see that protests are peaceful or get previously neutral people involved in protesting who will talk to their friends who will in-turn talk to their friends and so on eventually reaching those in echo chambers.
I'd recommend bringing American flags, say we love our country, we believe ALL Americans have equal rights and that we support the constitution and upholding American tradition like separation of power, that no one is above the law and that there are no kings in America. The more people who do that the more chances the media will be forced to show this which disrupts the false narrative that we're not patriotic, in fact I feel we're way more patriotic than the people who still worship traitors like the confederates, those who want to destroy our country and those who feel that only Americans who have the right skin color, gender and socioeconomic status deserve rights.
Online and in person we must strongly push back against those who call for violence, balkanization or civil war. These things will be devastating to everyone. I can tell you that I'm a blue dot in a red state, I have lots of friends and family members who are as well. Nearly all of us are too poor and too deeply rooted in our communities to move. This could literally be deadly for us and millions of innocent people who don't support what's going on now and even if not deadly lots of us could one day be subject to a oppressive regime in a spin-off of part of America, that would be horrible. If we make it to the midterms we can win enough elections and make our country better in all 50 states peacefully and legally.
Remember: broad peaceful coalition, bring more and more people over, eventually even some Trump supporters will see the light and we'll resolve this peacefully. I know we can do it!

The YouTube link in the PDF wasn't stripped of tracking so use this link to watch their de-escalation training: youtu.be/_Pgmn9QRr48
I also saw an interesting idea of having monitors in high visibility vests and using whistles whenever they see even initial signs of violence, in the original suggestion they advised sitting but I read some persuasive comments that mentioned sitting down could be dangerous, instead I think leaving is the best approach.

Like, why did you manufacture this intractable problem by mandating clothing and shaming nudity in the first place?
You think humans invented clothing because of shame?
That's completely backwards, we invented clothing for protection, and not seeing everything all the time led to shame when someone could see us.
Like, I'm pretty sure hermit crabs feel something similar to shame when they don't have a shell, they need something to drive them to not only protect themselves, but to ensure they can reproduce and raise their young. That's why humans instinctually get weird about exposed genitals and boobs, those are the most important parts of a human from an evolutionary perspective.

sarà rottaggio imprevisto, quando continuo e inspiegabile
In questi giorni, il rotting sta lievemente imperversando. Ahimè!!! A questo punto della mattina sono già le 12 passate, e io non ho ancora fatto nulla di rilevante, il che è greve e preoccupante, visto il contesto ultimo presente. Un sintomo evidente della cosa è che qui i post stanno uscendo a fatica, in questi ultimi giorni, ma appunto non perché io stia facendo molto altro di intrigante; i minuti giusto scorrono così, senza che sia possibile capire precisamente il perché. 💀Ieri mattina addirittura mi sono in qualche modo svegliata quasi alle 13, al punto che ho dovuto zompare colazione e ho direttamente pranzato, perché ops. Questo è accaduto perché, durante la notte (o meglio, la mattina, visto che sarà successo al massimo qualche quarto d’ora prima del mio vero risveglio), ho sognato di svegliarmi ed alzarmi mentre che fossero le 11 e qualcosa, come altre mattine… di conseguenza, evidentemente il mio cervello credeva che io fossi già perfettamente resuscitata e, allora mi ha fatta rimanere fisicamente e mentalmente lì nel letto, finché non è arrivato mio padre probabilmente preoccupandosi sotto sotto di se fossi morta. 🦗
Sempre meglio di ieri sera o stamattina, però, visto che rispettivamente nel primo caso mi era venuto mal di testa senza fare niente (ma almeno sono andata a dormire un po’ prima), e nel secondo mi è salita l’allergia forte con il muco potente e persino la sciorda pesante. E, appunto, è un pochino imbarazzante che, nonostante io mi sia svegliata alle 10 stamattina, non ho ancora fatto praticamente nulla per cui valga la pena che questa giornata consumi le mie energie vitali (cioè, per cui valga la pena non essere rimasta nel letto fino ad ora di pranzo anche stavolta, ma in questo caso volontariamente). 🥱
Vabbè, in sintesi ho il presentimento che in parte questa possa essere l’estate. Non che io l’abbia mai desiderata in effetti, a differenza di altre persone che prima la vogliono ma poi quando arriva si lamentano, quindi tipo non è colpa mia se mi fa un pochino questo effetto qui, però è comunque seccante e per certi aspetti problematico. Se avete idee per ridurre la marciscenza però, compatibilmente a quello che posso fare e che mi piace o potrebbe piacermi, accetto ovviamente suggerimenti… 🙏
