Summary

Stephen Miller’s legal group, America First Legal Foundation, sent letters warning officials in sanctuary jurisdictions of potential “serious consequences,” including civil racketeering charges and prison time, for defying federal immigration laws.

The letters target 249 officials in areas restricting cooperation with ICE, such as San Diego County.

While courts have previously rejected similar anti-sanctuary efforts, the move signals aggressive immigration enforcement plans under Trump’s incoming administration.

Critics argue the threats highlight a broader strategy to intimidate and enforce mass deportation policies.

I'll also mention that if you're wanting PS4 emulation for Bloodborne, you should use this fork instead of the emudeck provided build.

"He was coming so fast, there wasn't any time to move all the way out the way"

Scott-Windham returned to Mobile Wednesday night with the bullet still in her foot, along with multiple fractures.

She'll need to return to an orthopedist in two weeks to check on her foot. But the Amazon warehouse where she works denied her request for a leave of absence, and she worries she'll have to find a new job once she's recovered.

Optery advertises themselves as a privacy oriented service that helps you remove data from data brokers.

In the policy they mention they send your profile data to Advertising Partners with the purpose of

• Providing, Customizing and Improving the Services • Marketing the Services

Isn't this almost opposite of the whole purpose of their service? Or am I reading this wrong and this is just because they have to send your data to the brokers to process deletions?

Are there recommended alternatives?

P.S. I reached out to them about this but they haven't gotten back to me yet

I was a far-right lunatic until about 2009, when I started turning left. I have read many (center-)leftist articles from Jacobin, Common Dreams, The Guardian, and, from Brazil, Carta Capital and IHU (Catholic liberation theology).

Lemmy (despite my suboptimal instance) and communist friends got me interested in actual Marxism, but I have not yet really studied it. So please recommend:

  • The best Marxist Lemmy instance for my background.
  • Marxist books or videos in approximate reading/watching order. For the next many months (I suspect six months) I will have very little time, though.

Bonus:

  • reasonable tolerance of Catholic faith and individual morality
  • contextualized on Brazil, Cuba, broader Latin America or China

Background: Brazilian Catholic male autistic ADHD IT analyst with an electronic engineering degree and MsC in computer science. I have a son with my wife. I highly value privacy and software freedom. I read English well, but Spanish quite poorly. Native Portuguese speaker.

Summary

The US Department of Transportation fined JetBlue $2 million for operating “chronically delayed flights,” marking the first penalty of its kind.

The DOT found four routes repeatedly delayed for at least five consecutive months between June 2022 and November 2023, despite prior warnings.

JetBlue cited investments in reducing delays, which improved performance in 2024, but faced setbacks like abandoned routes and customer dissatisfaction.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg warned airlines to align schedules with reality, emphasizing the need for reliable travel for passengers.
