Hegseth says Wounded Knee soldiers will keep their Medals of Honor
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 19 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards in a video posted to social media Thursday evening.
Hegseth’s predecessor, Lloyd Austin, ordered the review of the awards in 2024 after a congressional recommendation in the 2022 defense bill — itself a reflection of efforts by some lawmakers to rescind the awards for those who participated in the bloody massacre on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Wounded Knee Creek.
While the events of that day are sometimes described as a battle, historical records show that the U.S. Army, which was in the midst of a campaign to repress the tribes in the area, killed an estimated 250 Native Americans, including women and children, of the Lakota Sioux tribe, while attempting to disarm Native American fighters who had already surrendered at their camp.

Dua Lipa denies firing agent over pro-Israel views
The Mail Online claimed that Lipa had parted ways with David Levy for signing a letter urging festival organiser Emily Eavis to drop the rap group over their pro-Palestinian views.
Both Lipa and her talent agency WME have called the story "categorically false", saying that Levy stopped working with the star in 2019.
In a statement, Lipa criticised Levy's attempt to silence Kneecap, but said the Mail's "deliberately inflammatory" story had been "crafted... to fuel online division".

Netanyahu claimed foreign leaders who “public condemn us privately thank us. They tell me how much they value Israel’s superb intelligence services that have prevented, time and again, terrorist attacks in their capitals.” He did not say which countries’ leaders had privately thanked him.
“So Benjamin, are those leaders in the room with us right now?”

Trying to design my dead man's switch
Hey comrades. So I have started keeping a private journal to track and articulate my disjointed thoughts about the organising and groups I'm involved with. It's a directory of encrypted text files (currently just using vimcrypt but I could easily switch to something else) on a LUKS drive.
Obviously, it would be quite bad—both for my safety and the integrity of the groups the notes may concern—for the notes to get breached right now. However, I do think it would be valuable for revolutionaries in the future to be able to read the thoughts of someone who was involved in struggles potentially long past—it'd become a part of history, and perhaps could be used to help future communists improve upon the organising of the past.
I would want these notes to only be released after my death, so that there is no risk of incriminating me, and also only after they become irrelevant in the sense of the groups/events they concern are long past. The typical way to do this is a dead man's switch where you keep pressing some button every e.g. week, and if it doesn't get pressed for a week, your server publishes your secret documents.
The first problem with that setup is that relies on either the data being unencrypted, or I store the decryption keys on the server being used to store the encrypted data, which seems to defeat the purpose of the data being encrypted imo. I guess I could store the decryption keys separately and that also be subject to a dead man's switch but I'm just wary about the security implications of storing it at all, given the fact that I would have to use someone else's servers if I want it to be released a long time after my death rather than e.g. a week afterwards, when my own VPS may still be running.
The second problem is that digital dead man's switches assume that the individual in question isn't going to go to prison lol. It's almost certain I'll go to prison again at some point before I die (have already been locked up a few times in my short life), and it would be quite bad to have a bunch of potentially incriminating secret notes be released when I go to prison! I'm a lot more likely to be imprisoned alive than I am to die. I've thought of some ways to get around this—I could let a trusted person know about the switch and have them press it for me if I go to prison. Or, upon triggering the dead man's switch, instead of publishing things, it privately sends things to a trusted person, and that person is instructed to publish it if I'm dead and to discard it if I'm not. The prior problem about encryption still stands though.
As previously hinted at, I would want a significant delay between my death and the publishing of my notes, to minimise the risk to any groups or comrades implicated by the notes. So I think I would also have to store this on some big company or, maybe, a big non-profit organisation, that is reliable and unlikely to go down in X years, where X is however long I want to wait before things get released. So that brings further concerns about security if I have to entrust anything with a big tech company (and why would they host content by a dead person? They'd probably want to delete it to reclaim storage space; not like I'm paying them any money if I'm dead).
Given the first and third problems especially, I'm starting to think this isn't possible to do?
It's not the end of the world if I can't figure out a way to publish my notes. I don't mean to overblow my own importance in the struggle—I don't think these notes will be decisive or anything. But I think it would be nice to make them available—it would be nice if they could contribute something to the world, I guess, instead of just being me trying to sort my own thoughts about things I'm doing or experiencing. But obviously protecting the movement and my comrades comes first, and if I can't set something up that doesn't put them at risk, I won't bother.
Would appreciate people's thoughts. And perhaps if we figure something out, this might inspire other people to do similarly.

Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.
The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.
Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

in reply to eleitl • • •A funny thing happened back in the middle 1800s. A man ran a 7-ton electric locomotive a mile and a half.
The motor was powered by a storage device. In the late 1800s, people drove their cars around all day using a storage device.
These storage devices became better and better, until they could power trucks and buses for hundreds of miles.
They are still getting better and better. Of course they can be depleted, and it's good to havea backup methods to
cover these cases and to keep the storage devices charged when there's no sun or wind. Hydroelectric dams powered
by water-storage are widely-used, and some flat places still burn fossil fuels to do that as well.
