US tries to deport stateless Palestinian woman again despite judge’s order
Ward Sakeik was detained in February on her way home from her honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands
The US government has tried for the second time to deport a stateless Palestinian woman, according to court documents – despite a judge’s order barring her removal.
Ward Sakeik, a 22-year-old newlywed, was detained in February on her way home from her honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands. Last month, the government attempted to deport her without informing her where she was being sent, according to her husband, Taahir Shaikh. An officer eventually told her that she would be sent to the Israel border – just hours before Israel launched airstrikes on Iran.
After her lawyers filed suit on her behalf, US district judge Ed Kinkeade issued an order on 22 June barring the government from deporting Sakeik or removing her from the Texas district where she is being detained while her case is decided.

USAID cuts may lead to more than 14 million deaths globally, including 4.5 million children under 5 by 2030, researchers say
- Projections by the researchers show that if USAID cuts continue, more than 14 million additional deaths could occur by 2030, including over 4.5 million among children under 5, or about 700,000 extra child deaths per year.
- The figures reflect the projected consequences of halting funding not only for health services but also for critical sectors such as nutrition, education, water and sanitation and humanitarian relief.
- The study warns that the impact of USAID cuts could extend beyond the agency’s own programs: international donors may also reduce their commitments, further weakening service delivery in countries already dependent on external support.

Economy of Genocide: UN Report Links Western Firms to Israeli War Crimes
A powerful new report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council by Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, is drawing sharp condemnation — not only from Israel but also from the United States.Titled ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide’, the report delivers a searing indictment of corporate involvement in Israel’s settler-colonial enterprise and its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, accusing private and state-linked companies of enabling apartheid, war crimes, and genocide.

The effects of AI on firms and workers
The past decade has seen tremendous growth in commercial investments in artificial intelligence (AI). The first wave came after the 2012 ImageNet challenge, which was a pivotal moment in the history of artificial intelligence, particularly computer vision and deep learning. Then, advances in computing power—GPU hardware—powered neural network models trained on large amounts of data. Across industries, from construction to pharmaceuticals to finance, companies rushed to implement AI in their operations. This trend has only accelerated with the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022. Even larger models trained on even larger datasets are showing even greater power, and AI applications are becoming ubiquitous across U.S. businesses (Babina, et al. 2024).The rapid rise of commercial AI has inevitably brought concerns regarding its potential to displace human workers. There is evidence that AI can automate some cognitive tasks or increase worker productivity in a way that could reduce the number of workers needed. For example, Brynjolfsson, et al. (2025) find that AI tools make customer service workers much more efficient. Fedyk, et al. (2022) find that audit firms that use AI reduce their audit workforce. But the good news is that the labor-displacing effects seem confined to select sectors and occupations. On aggregate, recent academic research finds evidence that companies’ use of AI has been accompanied by an increase in the workforce.
This article synthesizes recent research—including new findings from Babina, et al. (2024) and Babina, et al. (2023)—to assess the real-world impacts of AI on firms and workers. Contrary to common fears, we find that AI has so far not led to widespread job loss. Instead, AI adoption is associated with firm growth, increased employment, and heightened innovation, particularly in product development. However, the effects are not uniformly distributed: AI-investing firms increasingly seek more educated and technically skilled employees, alter their internal hierarchies, and contribute to rising industry concentration. These trends carry important implications for public policy, including workforce development, education and reskilling initiatives, and antitrust enforcement. This article reviews the evidence and highlights key takeaways for policymakers navigating the AI-driven economy.

Issues with stickies
In my community !action_movies@piefed.social , I've made two posts sticky (the "Welcome" post and the "Free, legal movies" post) using my Piefed mod account, but:
- viewing in PieFed, neither post is at the top. (They do have inverted angle brackets around the title.)
- viewing in Lemmy, The "Free, legal movies" post is sticky (at top, with pushpin icon) but the "Welcome" post isn't.
How do I get them both displayed at the top in both PieFed and Lemmy? Or is this a bug?
On piefed
They both appear stickied just fine to me. Something that is different with sticky posts on piefed is that if you sort by New
, then the sticky posts are no longer at the top of the page. That is different than how lemmy does it. This has led to confusion in the past, and even has a codeberg issue about it.
On lemmy
I am guessing that federation had not yet been established between that lemmy instance when you created and stickied that initial welcome post. I just tried an experiment now where I subscribed to your community from a test lemmy instance I have and forced federation of one of the sticky posts, and it didn't come over stickied. So, there might be some weirdness there.
What you can do to try to resolve this is to unsticky it and then resticky it. That should send out the correct actions via activitypub so that the other instances know that the post should be stickied. To be on the safer side, give it a minute or two between those two actions so that you are sure the first action had been sent out fully.
Sticky post on PieFed aren't listed on the top of its community.
Cf pictures : The sticked post, with the blue title, stay at the middle of the community page. It doesn't move to the top of its community.Codeberg.org
Thanks for the info.
- I unstickied, re-stickied and waited a couple of minutes. Both are now stickies that appear at the top in Lemmy, no matter what the sorting order.
- Sorting order: when I first started with Lemmy, I got sick of seeing the same posts again and again and again. I tried different sorting orders, and different settings for viewed posts, none of which satisfied all my wishes, until I eventually gave up on everything except "New", which is now how I look at all content all the time.
So I guess this means in Piefed I'm always missing out on seeing stickies in all communities, not just the one I mod. :/
Wait, so what is that issue? If you bold something in two different places it gets messed up?
Edit: it sure does...I will take a look at that when I look at formatting comment previews correctly.
I think it might also happen when you have italics, or bold, immediately followed by punctuation.
Or is that only when the original post is done on Lemmy and then viewed on PieFed? I'll have to try to find an example.
- piefed.social/post/997768
Just following up on this that stickied posts should now show up at the top of communities even if you sort by New. Additionally, the double bold problem should be solved now without breaking anything else. Feel free to reach out in this community or on codeberg with issues if they come up.
PS - post and comment previews should show better formatting as well, including blockquotes and code blocks.
