I was sent this map without a source but I thought it was impressive nonetheless. It shows the SeaWorld parking lot in yellow. The green dot is where Orcas spend their lives.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston signed an executive order Thursday that’s intended to protect protesters demonstrating against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations if the city becomes the next target for a surge of agents.

His order requires Denver Police Department officers to intervene and detain ICE agents if they see any using “excessive force.” It also bans the federal agents from using city-owned property for their operations.

Standing in front of the City and County Building in downtown Denver, Johnston told reporters that his goal with the order wasn’t to provoke President Donald Trump. He said he didn’t have any information about whether ICE or the Trump administration intended to send an influx of agents to the city anytime soon.

“My first job is to run this city,” he said. “But in today’s America, that means answering questions from our residents about what happens if ICE troops descend on our city.”

This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations. > > tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out. > > More info: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxIMpZTkXqFo0H6pDwhZpdYqMYvLhPvWA5?lc=UgxA-4LYvwrnonXuXsZ4AaABAg >

In a short press conference following the deposition, Hillary Clinton said she wished the proceedings had been public and that she and her attorneys have asked for transcripts and videos to be available as soon as possible.

"It was disappointing that they refused to hold a public hearing so I wouldn't have to be out here characterizing it for you," she told reporters outside the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York where the hearing took place. "You could have seen it for yourself. We had asked for that. We think it would have been better for the committee and its efforts to gather whatever information they are seeking."

Lamenting what she called "repetitive" questioning, Clinton said she would not appear before the committee again, even if the deposition were public.

American sympathies in the Middle East have shifted dramatically toward the Palestinians, according to new Gallup polling, after decades of overwhelming support for the Israelis.

That shift accelerated during the war in Gaza. Three years ago, 54% of Americans sympathized more with the Israelis, compared to 31% for the Palestinians.

Now, their support is about evenly balanced, with 41% saying their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, and only 36% saying the same about the Israelis.

Welcoming refugees has been a source of bipartisan agreement in the U.S. since Congress passed the Refugee Act with overwhelming support in 1980.

Overturning years of precedent, immigration authorities have arrested or questioned dozens of refugees in Minnesota, attorneys and advocates say, with more detentions likely to come nationwide.

In January, a federal judge ordered a temporary halt to the arrest and detention of refugees in Minnesota while a lawsuit challenging the “revetting” continues. The judge ordered the immediate release of all refugees detained in Minnesota, and those taken to Texas.

Three refugees told The Associated Press that whatever happens, the rounds of inconclusive interviews with immigration authorities well after they thought their status was safe has them questioning their futures in the U.S. and living in constant fear.

I had a saved post where someone on the fediverse made a website to end all job websites because job hunting was so unreasonably difficult. Now I need it, I can't find it and I'm hoping someone remembers this and knows what I'm on about.

I think it's because I saved the post in ~~voyager~~ Sync, then the dev abandoned it and I switched to using summit.

My understanding of the website was that it crawled company websites for vacancies and produced a clean way to browse and apply directly, skipping all the spam, recruiters and paid/account creation of the typical job sites.

I'm not sure if this is being worked on or has already been suggested, but this seems to be a feature missing from Piefed. I personally used to use it when I was on Lemmy but haven't been able to on Piefed. I understand if this is difficult to implement but I feel like it would be a good security feature that seems to oddly be missing from Piefed.

They really want us to love cars. But why would we love being car dependent?

Dependency is never freedom. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices.
