Idaho attorney general says officers who fatally shot autistic teen won't be charged
Four Idaho police officers who fatally shot an autistic, nonverbal teenage boy who was holding a knife on the other side of a chain-link fence in April were justified in their actions and will not face criminal charges, the state attorney general said Wednesday.
Victor Perez, 17, was in a coma for a week before dying April 12 after doctors removed nine bullets during several surgeries and amputated his leg.
The shooting in the southeast Idaho city of Pocatello, which was captured on video, drew outrage from members of the community who questioned why the officers opened fire within 12 seconds of exiting their vehicles.
The Bannock County Prosecutor's Office asked Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador to review the case to determine whether the officers committed a crime and if their use of force was justified. Labrador said the investigation showed that the officers did not know Perez's age or disabilities, and they were only told an intoxicated man was threatening people with a knife.

Newsom says Trump’s deployment of National Guard to LA cost taxpayers $120M
Newsom’s office evaluated the costs incurred since June when Trump sent more than 4,200 National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines to LA, posting its estimates on X.
According to the office that included $71 million for food and other basic necessities, $37 million in payroll, $4 million in logistic supplies, $3.5 million in travel. “The list goes on,” Newsom’s said.
Most of the soldiers were sent home last month, though 300 remain in Los Angeles, per The Los Angeles Times.

Republicans end TPS deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans
The Department of Homeland Security said that the agency had reviewed conditions in Venezuela in collaboration with the State Department, and that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had determined that the 2021 TPS designation for Venezuela was “contrary to the national interest.”
The decision leaves about 257,000 Venezuelans, including many in South Florida, vulnerable to being deported to a homeland deep in crisis and under the repressive governance of leader Nicolas Maduro.
The decision will also be heavily felt in South Florida, the heart of the Venezuelan community in the United States. On Wednesday, advocates and leaders were already reeling from the announcement.

Legislation meant to delay Dallas investor’s East Texas ground water grab fails
A Dallas investor’s controversial plan to export East Texas groundwater appears poised to move forward, as lawmakers killed a bill that would have delayed the project by two years.
On Wednesday night, state Rep. Cody Harris, a Palestine Republican and the bill’s author, blamed the state Senate for the legislation’s failure, saying the chamber stripped a key provision that would have put a moratorium on new export permits while the Texas Water Development Board studied the effects of pumping groundwater from the area’s aquifers. The House voted not to accept the Senate changes.
“The Senate gutted the most important part of this bill,” Harris said late Wednesday. A moratorium would have given lawmakers “a chance … to make sure we are being good stewards of our most precious natural resource, water,” he said. “One part of the bill is worthless without the other.”

Washington DC sues over deployment of the national guard. City’s AG says troops are an ‘involuntary military occupation’
The city’s attorney general, Brian Schwalb, argued in the federal lawsuit that the deployment is an illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement.
A federal judge in California recently ruled that Trump’s deployment of national guard troops to Los Angeles after days of protests over immigration raids in June was illegal. The Republican administration is appealing that decision and Trump has said he is ready to order federal intervention in Chicago and Baltimore, despite staunch opposition in those Democratic-led cities.
That ruling, however, does not directly apply to Washington, where the president has more control over the guard than in states.
About 2,300 troops from seven states have been deployed in the streets of the US capital since 11 August in a move that Schwalb says exceeds the president’s powers and violates the city’s autonomy, as enshrined in the Home Rule Act.

A notorious Louisiana prison was chosen for immigrant detainees to urge self-deportation, Noem says
Officials said 51 detainees were already being housed at Angola. But Gov. Jeff Landry said he expects the building to be filled to capacity, expecting over 400 people to come in ensuing months as President Donald Trump continues his large-scale attempt to remove millions of people suspected of entering the country illegally.
The building holding ICE detainees is not new, but rather refurbished after sitting vacant for years. The rest of Angola, which is made up of many buildings, has remained active. Many of Angola’s 6,300 inmates still work the fields, picking long rows of vegetables by hand as armed guards patrol on horseback.
In addition, the prison is home to more than 50 death row inmates. The most recent execution was in March, using nitrogen gas to deprive the inmate of oxygen, causing death. The state’s electric chair, nicknamed “Gruesome Gertie”, is still on display in the prison’s museum.

trwnh@mastodon.social there were! Yes, I'll get them up over the weekend hopefully.
The main news was updating everybody on context collection adoption (which I've posted about on ActivityPub.Space), plus TallTed brought up how this was handled in the nntp space
Recent context collection news, in case you've missed:
- Mastodon: PR open
- Lemmy: PR merged
Thanks, I totally missed this development. I blame the conference I was at. 😄
@jesseplusplus Can I ask here, what's the ultimate scope of what you're upstreaming? I see github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p… is a building block, will you be pushing for Mastodon to publish context collections later? It's not clear from what I'm seeing here if that's part of the plan.

Re: September 2025 ForumWG Meeting
julian@fietkau.social the work by jesseplusplus@mastodon.social is split into two PRs.
The first allows Mastodon to start serving context collections. This is the critical piece that allows others to backfill conversations.
The latter half to be introduced in another PR will allow Mastodon to consume context collections for backfill purposes.
thanks @julian@community.nodebb.org! and sorry @julian@fietkau.social, my wording of the PR title is a little confusing. I'm using the existing mastodon Conversation model to publish the context property. That PR will publish the collection as part of the AP json-ld for all notes.
I'll follow that up with a PR that will allow mastodon to backfill missing replies from the context on any Create-Notes that come to the inbox with a context collection.

in reply to Pro • • •Rest of the world: Yeah, we know. Except, it wasn't just in Poland.
X is owned by a guy who supports fascist causes in Europe. He used to support one in the US until they had a falling out. He did the Nazi arm gesture (albeit with the wrong arm, IIRC). Then (or perhaps before) he got rid of a bunch of content moderators.
We know exactly where he stands and what he stands for.
That said, there are still good people on Twitter. My wife and a bunch of her artist friends. I keep telling her, it's bad news up there, it's supporting a bad dude... but this whole community is up there and they won't move. I'm not sure what it will take at this point.
Honestly all social media is kinda trash these days.
Facebook has literally had people killed. Some anti-government rebels were using Facebook in some third world country (I forget the name), and Facebook gave their location data to the government. Volunteered it even. Guess who stopped using Facebook. Wonder what happened. Oh yeah, and you know what Mark Zuckerberg calls his users? "Dumb fucks." Literally. Can't make this shit up.
Reddit was built on CSAM, they even sent one of their early moderators a physical award for running a subreddit with upskirt shots of underage girls. (He was very publicly outed. Guess who didn't even protect the guy who helped build their empire?) They also tried to falsely accuse a third-party app developer of blackmailing them, but the guy recorded the conversation. A bunch of people rebelled but they all came back around. I myself got banned for suggesting stiffer penalties for child abuse, and I lost the appeal (I figured maybe an AI tagged me but a human would overturn it, but no). So I figure they did me a favor.
I think it's mostly the same people who use all these services, from Facebook to right here on Lemmy. And in any group of people, you have a few bad apples. But I think you have to look at the people leading it. What they stand for, how they see the world, the kind of world they want to make.
