LAPD faces federal lawsuit for alleged attacks on journalists during protests
The groups noted that after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, California approved Senate Bill 98, which stipulated press rights amid protests.
Additionally, press groups noted that LAPD officers were given training following the 2020 protests on how to work safely with journalists.
"The investment in the training was in the millions, and some of the training has indeed been put to use by officers. But recent events have made it clear that the need for re-training is high," the National Press Club said.
The lawsuit seeks to stop the LAPD from engaging in unconstitutional acts against journalists.

Israel issues Tehran evacuation order as Iran threatens to leave nuclear weapons treaty
Israel issues Tehran evacuation order as Iran threatens to leave nuclear weapons treaty
Order similar to those issued in Gaza a further sign Israeli campaign is evolving towards war of attritionJulian Borger (The Guardian)
It's ironic that Israel's stated pretext of wanting to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons with its declaration of war basically guaranteed that they will have them now.
Iran was always vary of economic sactions and potencial military attacks from western countries and while they actively worked on stockpiling non-weapon grade uranium they never crossed that line. Now that fear is moot. Now every single Iranian was shown that no matter what the world says or does they will always be seen as second-class humans by western world and the only deterrent is nuclear weapons (see North Korea, Pakistan). Just look at the reaction of skirmishes between India and Pakistan. World openly begged them to stop the attacks instead of encouraging it.
So while these attacks might delay the development of weapons, it can't be stopped. As military experts and US own plans shown that even most powerful US bombs are not powerful enought to destroy these nuclear facilities that are carved into the mountains.
War criminal Netanyahu in hopes of clinging to power through endless war fucked over every single Jew for many decades to come. Enjoy the consequences of enabling genocide and proping up a war criminal.
America had open borders until 1924. Racism and corporate greed changed that.
While much of the news coverage has turned toward the US president’s mobilization of the military and what that means for his growing authoritarian tendencies, this is only half the story. To fully understand what is at stake in the protests, we can’t lose sight of the thing that drove people to protest in the first place: a violently unfair immigration system that is an affront to us all.It is worth noting that this immigration system is not an original component of US governance. Whereas the first government under the US constitution formed in 1789, there were no federal immigration laws until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and even this law was limited in the sense that it banned a specific class of immigrants. The US did not have closed borders until the Immigration Act of 1924, which established national origins quotas across the board.
The primary justifications for these early immigration laws were xenophobia, eugenics, and overt racism. By the 1990s, however, multinational corporations understood that closed borders – especially combined with free trade agreements freeing multinational companies to shop around for “cheap” workers, while at the same time constraining the options of workers to move around and look for better jobs – were a powerful weapon in their arsenal to squeeze ever more profit out of global supply chains. While cleverly hidden behind discourses of “security” and “sovereignty,” our immigration system is actually a scam rigged to guarantee an upward flow of wealth at the cost of human rights.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) illustrates this dynamic. Signed in 1992, Nafta created a free trade zone among Mexico, Canada and the US, specifically making it easier for goods, capital and corporations to move freely while conspicuously ignoring the movement of workers. Far from an oversight, as the scholar Bill Ong Hing has written, this was the whole point of the agreement.

Georgia brain-dead mom kept alive under abortion law, gives birth via C-section
Smith’s mother, April Newkirk, tells 11Alive that Chance, a baby boy, was born prematurely last week by emergency cesarean section. The infant weighs about 1 pound 13 ounces and is in the NICU.
Smith has been kept medically alive since February 19, when she was declared brain dead at eight weeks pregnant due to blood clots in her brain. Her family says doctors kept her on life support due to Georgia’s abortion law, the LIFE Act, which doesn’t clearly address cases of brain death, but causes confusion in medical environments. News of her condition made national headlines as she was kept on life-support while pregnant, and her family railed against the decision.

Portland, OR.
In the third day of having a camera, there's a few things I learned
- I cannot believe I had my tripod with me, and went handheld for many shots, believing that an ISO of 3200 would be enough to cut out my natural hand shake (no, it just cuts out everything that's not grain).
- And I cannot believe that I didn't just shoot everything from that tripod (though I got a few good shots with it, and never changed the ISO to something lower with a longer shutter and wider aperture)
- And that even for a lot of night time shots, once the camera's mounted on the tripod, even depressing the shutter button causes a bit of camera shake, which, to me at least, merits a two-second pre-timer so my hand can get away first.
Just a few short days ago I was in awe and wonder about the stuff I could do with a proper camera. And now I'm really learning how to use it in a variety of conditions! I suppose the same is true of any upgraded tool, you've got to get used to it first, and figure out how it differs from the old tools, and then grow and expand from there.
I kind of liked the way I arranged Portland, a bit, suggesting a drawbridge and a castle palisade.
Thanks for seeing my vaguely cyberpunk castle town!

CDC official in charge of Covid data resigns ahead of vaccine meeting
The scientist responsible for overseeing the CDC team that collects data on Covid and RSV hospitalizations resigned on Monday.
Dr Fiona Havers told colleagues in an email that she no longer had confidence the data would be used “objectively or evaluated with appropriate scientific rigor to make evidence-based vaccine policy decisions”, according to Reuters.
She resigned before a planned meeting of a new vaccine panel put in place by Robert Kennedy Jr after he fired all 17 members of the CDC’s independent vaccine advisory panel. Kennedy also dropped a recommendation to get the Covid shot for healthy children and pregnant women.

Threat in Your Medicine Cabinet: The FDA’s Gamble on America’s Drugs
A secretive group inside the FDA gave the global manufacturer a special pass to continue shipping more than a dozen drugs to the United States even though they were made at the same substandard factory that the agency had officially sanctioned. Pills and injectable medications that otherwise would have been banned went to unsuspecting patients across the country, including those with cancer and epilepsy.
The FDA didn’t routinely test the medications for quality problems or use its vast repository of drug-related complaints to proactively track whether they were harming the people who relied on them.
And the agency kept the exemptions largely hidden from the public and from Congress. Even others inside the FDA were unaware of the details.

War-weary Gazans share images of destruction in Israel
By Nidal Al-Mughrabi
June 16, 20255:18 AM EDT""I was never a fan of Iran, I still don't like them because of their intervention in Gaza and other Arab countries, but seeing them retaliate for real, not a play like in previous times, made me happy, despite all the sadness around me," said Amr Salah, 29.
It is nothing compared to what Israel did to Gaza, but at least a taste of it. It is maybe time to end all of this, in Gaza too," he added."
Plex has paywalled my server!
I tried testing a movie from my home server in plex through firefox and repeatedly got this message, even after reloading.
I knew that they had paywalled the apps on mobile and streaming from outside the network but now they have also blocked watching your own movies through your own hardware.
I do get the point that making software should be able to sustain people but I dont see the move of plex as a fair thing to do. Yes, they have made great software but taking your home server hostage feels like the wrong move.
Even a pop up that says "we need you to donate please" would have been fine. make it pop up before every movie, play donation ads before any movie but straight up disabling the app is kinda cruel.
Anyway, i have switched to jellyfin and it is insanely good. please give it a try. you can run it alongside plex with not issues (at least i had none) and compare the two.
In any case, good luck. Let me know if you need help.

ASCII Diagram, offline, Linux, FLOSS
Hi,
I'm looking for a soft to create ASCII diagram like (or better)
asciiflow.com/
ideally:
- FLOSS
- for linux
- offline
- no javascript.
I've found a candidate ascii-draw and it's write in Python ❤️ 🐍, but it's only available as flatpack.. :/

Sketch anything using characters. Contribute to Nokse22/ascii-draw development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
like this
I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the ASCII-Draw flatpak, but that's not the only way to get it:
- there's a Snap
- it can be installed from source
- there's also an AUR package
But maybe you're not on Arch, don't like Snaps (can't blame anyone for that) and don't want to install from source (same)? What type of package are you looking for? Only native package? For which distro?
Ideally running the .py python foobar.py
will be ideal, otherwise an .appimage
I think I will have to build it my self (the .appimage ) 😀

महिला लापता: मंडी मेले से गायब खिरमा देवी चंबा में मिली, प्रेमी के साथ जाने की बात कबूली
Himachal News: मंडी जिले के कांढ़ी सरोआ गांव से महिला लापता होने की घटना ने सभी को चौंका दिया था। 20 वर्षीय खिरमा देवी, जो 15 जून 2025 को सतकुड़ी नाग देवता मेले में गई थी, अचानक गायब हो गई थी। गोहर पुलिस ने तकनीकी सहायता से उसकी लोकेशन ट्रेस की और उसे चंबा जिले के किलाड़ क्षेत्र में ढूंढ निकाला। खिरमा ने बताया कि वह अपनी इच्छा से प्रेमी रमेश कुमार के साथ गई है।
पुलिस जांच और खिरमा का बयान
गोहर थाना प्रभारी ने बताया कि खिरमा से मोबाइल पर संपर्क किया गया। उसने कहा कि वह रमेश के साथ चंबा गई है और अब घर नहीं लौटना चाहती। रमेश (22), चंबा के सलाणी गांव का निवासी है और मनाली में होटल में काम करता है। खिरमा ने पुलिस को बताया कि उनकी दोस्ती फेसबुक और इंस्टाग्राम पर छह महीने पहले शुरू हुई थी।
सोशल मीडिया ने बदली जिंदगी
खिरमा की शादी तीन साल पहले रोहित कुमार से हुई थी, लेकिन उनका वैवाहिक जीवन सुखी नहीं था। संतान न होने और पारिवारिक असंतोष ने उन्हें सोशल मीडिया की ओर आकर्षित किया। यहीं से रमेश के साथ उनकी दोस्ती गहरी हुई, जिसने उनके जीवन को नया मोड़ दिया। महिला लापता होने की शिकायत उनके पति रोहित ने गोहर थाने में दर्ज कराई थी।
पुलिस की सक्रियता
पुलिस ने शिकायत के बाद तुरंत कार्रवाई शुरू की। तकनीकी संसाधनों का उपयोग कर खिरमा की लोकेशन का पता लगाया गया। हिमाचल पुलिस ने इस मामले में पारदर्शिता बरती और दोनों पक्षों के बयान दर्ज किए। खिरमा और रमेश को महिला थाना चंबा में पेश होने के लिए कहा गया है।
आगे की जांच
पुलिस इस मामले की गहराई से जांच कर रही है। खिरमा के बयान के आधार पर यह स्पष्ट है कि वह अपनी मर्जी से रमेश के साथ गई, लेकिन पुलिस सभी पहलुओं की पड़ताल कर रही है। यह मामला सोशल मीडिया के प्रभाव और व्यक्तिगत निर्णयों की जटिलता को दर्शाता है। महिला लापता होने की यह घटना अब एक नए दिशा में बढ़ रही है।
