"When eight men in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement boarded a plane in May, officials told them that they were being sent on a short trip from Texas to another ICE facility in Louisiana.

Many hours later, the plane landed in Djibouti. The men were held in shipping containers for weeks, shackles on their legs. This past weekend, they were expelled to the violence-plagued nation of South Sudan.

This deception, revealed by an Intercept investigation, highlights the lengths to which the U.S. government will go to further its anti-immigrant agenda and deport people to so-called third countries to which they have no connections.

Lawyers for three of the men said that their clients were told, after resisting deportation to Africa, that they were instead being transferred to a detention facility in Louisiana. ICE then hustled them onto a plane, in the wee hours of the morning, and flew them out of the country without their knowledge or consent. This account was further corroborated by the wife of one of those same men who was told about ICE’s tactics in real time."

Samsung just lost over half its profit. Everyone’s blaming AI memory. Few are talking about the real reason: U.S. export controls are gutting allies and turbocharging China’s chip race. The damage is deeper than it looks.

Il tutto come prestazione volontaria non retribuita (!!), perché in questo modo "si sta vicino ai clienti"

I finally figured out why i didn't see Gemini installed on my phone:

"It turns out Gemini is tied to the Google app, so as long as you have Google on your phone, you have Gemini. Neowin does not advise using ADB to remove Google, so the safer option is to uninstall all updates to the Google app and then disable it. And with that, Gemini is gone. But so is Google."

My Google app is already disabled. I guess it pissed me off once before 😅

'Note how even Britain’s top police officer could not bring himself to claim Palestine Action was “an organisation committing terrorism”, which is what the law proclaims. I suspect he knows that, in doing so, he would have exposed the grotesque absurdity of this legislation. '

RT @RnaudBertrand
This would be huge: Brazil and China are studying the construction of a 4,500km long South America transcontinental railway that would run from northern Brazilian state of Bahia, cross the Andes, and reach the Chancay megaport near Lima, built with BRI funding.

If built, it could shorten shipping times from Brazil to Asia by as much as 12 days compared with current Atlantic routes that pass through the Panama Canal.

Extremely telling of both countries' contrasting approach to the region, Mauricio Claver-Carone, Trump's special adviser on Latin American affairs, had called a few months ago for tariffs of up to 60% on any company using Peru’s Chancay port for trade with China.

One side tries to create value, the other believes that others' gains is their loss... When actually, if you think about it, the US would also gain a lot from a richer and more developed Latin America. For one it'd considerably improve their illegal immigration issues, and create wealth and infrastructure for American goods and services too.

It's like if you have a house in a village somewhere and a guy you dislike seeks to spend an enormous amount of money developing the area, and instead of recognizing that a thriving village benefits everyone - including you - you'd rather keep the whole place poor just to spite him. Pure destructive nihilism.
