Jun 14, 2025"CAIRO, EGYPT—On Friday, some 200 participants in the Global March to Gaza were stopped at a security checkpoint outside of Cairo, Egypt as they made their way to Ismailia, a city on the Suez Canal 80 miles east of Cairo. After being held at the checkpoint for several hours and having their passports temporarily confiscated, marchers were physically dragged onto buses back to Cairo by plainclothes security officials. Other participants who separately managed to reach the hotel in Ismailia were similarly rounded up, some beaten and forced onto buses back to Cairo."

France’s deepest shipwreck found: 16th-century vessel discovered off Ramatuelle
Archaeologists discover a 16th-century shipwreck 2.5 km deep off Saint-Tropez, revealing rare ceramics and maritime history.Dario Radley (Archaeology News Online Magazine)
Despite the well-preserved site, modern waste such as soda cans and yogurt containers were observed near the wreck, and this has already posed questions about sea pollution even at extreme depths. The researchers have thus considered incorporating environmental awareness and anti-pollution studies into their ongoing research and public outreach.

In a preliminary injunction, the judge addressed that this is not a dispute about whether non-citizens can vote in federal elections, but whether documentary proof of citizenship can be required and if the executive has the power to govern elections.

Activists have ramped up their "No space for Bezos" campaign after Luigi Brugnaro, Venice's millionaire mayor, confirmed in March that the couple would be getting married in the city.The locals erected a banner reading "No Bezos" on the bell tower of San Giorgio basilica on the Venetian island of San Giorgio, where the couple is rumoured to be exchanging vows.
According to a report by the NYT, Federica Toninello, a protest organiser, said that one of the venues could be The Misericordia, a former charity turned events hall. But she said that Bezos will never get to the venue. "Bezos will never get to the Misericordia," she said, adding, "We will line the streets with our bodies, block the canals with lifesavers, dinghies and our boats."
Na Haby Stella Faye, another protester, said, "We have a chance to disrupt a ten million dollar wedding - let's do it."

Police say suspect dressed as law enforcement and shot at responding officers before escaping
I’m just gonna say. Might the suspect have been a police officer? I wouldn’t trust the police to disclose that.
I mean if they are wearing a uniform and emerged from a cop car as eyewitness accounts suggest…
The gunman was still at large, law enforcement said on Saturday, and the city of Brooklyn Park was still under a shelter-in-place order. The shooter was impersonating a police officer, dressed in a uniform that would appear to be real to most people, police said.“They did drive a vehicle that looked exactly like an SUV squad car,” Brooklyn Park’s police chief, Mark Bruley, said at a press conference. “It was equipped with lights, emergency lights, that looked exactly like a police vehicle, and yes, they were wearing a vest with Taser, other equipment, a badge very similar to mine, that, no question, if they were in this room, you would assume that they are a police officer.”
