Law enforcement said they arrested Lopez-Gomez under Florida’s SB 4C, which Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed in February. SB 4C makes it a misdemeanor (punishable by a mandatory nine months of incarceration) for immigrants (“unauthorized aliens” per the statute) to “knowingly” enter Florida “after entering the United States by eluding or avoiding examination or inspection by immigration officers.” There are escalating punishments for people who have prior immigration arrests. Basically, it is an “illegal entry” statute for Florida. (There is a federal “illegal entry” statute that makes it a misdemeanor to enter the country without prior authorization, like a visa or asylum claim. Being in the United States without a valid visa or other temporary status is not a “crime” but a civil offense.)

On April 4 of this year, a federal judge blocked implementation of the law pending a hearing that happened on April 18. Lo and behold, it turned out that Florida law enforcement agencies had just decided to ignore the temporary restraining order, which forbade Florida for enforcing SB 4C. According to local reporting, Florida’s lawyers argued bizarrely that the injunction did not include law enforcement in Florida, even though law enforcement in Florida are plainly tasked with enforcing Florida law—indeed, I’m pretty sure they’re the only ones with that power.

DeSantis has been clear that he wants Florida to be as anti-immigrant as possible. Every sheriff’s office in the state has 287(g) agreements, as do many city police departments, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and state police. In late February, before the injunction went into theoretical effect, the governor gave a speech about how he wanted every law enforcement agency to enter into a 287g agreement and he touted the efficacy of SB 4C. (Interestingly, the video of this speech, which I linked to in a piece I wrote for The Bulwark, seems to have been scrubbed from the internet.)

I'm GenX, a child of the cold war. "Tradecraft" is what spooks and spies do. It's espionage and poisoning enemy agents and infiltration and shit.

So what the fuck?

Beijing has called on the US to “completely cancel all unilateral tariff measures” if it wants trade talks, in some of China’s strongest comments yet on the impasse between the world’s two economic superpowers.

“The unilateral tariff measures were initiated by the US,” said He Yadong, a Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson. “If the US truly wants to solve the problem, it should . . . completely cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China and find a way to resolve differences through equal dialogue.”

Beijing has maintained that the US must make the first move to de-escalate the crisis, which is threatening to spark a hard decoupling between the two countries’ economies.

Chinese analysts argue that the US imposition of high tariffs make it difficult for Beijing to find a way to defuse the crisis.

China’s President Xi Jinping would find it difficult to engage personally with Trump on the trade war unless this was preceded by extensive negotiations to hammer out a deal, they say.

So, I've spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it's all junk, as far as I'm fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp~~2~~ 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources, satisfactory etc. I'm having a lot of fun with split fiction when I play with a friend, but I need a proper singplayer game. Anything I could get which isn't a total ripoff due to lack of gameplay or it being a bug simulator or dlc purchase mania?

EDIT: I'm a bit overwhelmed by all reactions. Thank you all so much! I have a lot of amazing recommendations to check out!

I’m slightly freaking out. I recently ran some updates on my Linux Mint server computer. Afterwards, my modules, like Porkbun, had been removed and kept giving a 400 error when trying to add-package. Without the porkbun dns module, caddy can’t pass the keys and nothing with reverse proxy from me. The porkbun git page mentions some upgrade to the DNS system a few days ago that they said was connected to this. Any ideas of what to do? Do I downgrade Caddy until they resolve? I’m not the most computer savvy so I appreciate the help.

F.B.I. Director Kash Patel said on Friday that agents had arrested a county judge in Milwaukee on charges of obstructing immigration enforcement. A spokesman for the U.S. Marshals confirmed the arrest of a sitting judge, a major escalation in the Trump administration’s battle with local authorities over deportations.

The bureau arrested Judge Hannah Dugan on suspicion that she “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” an immigrant being pursued by federal authorities, Mr. Patel wroteon social media. He later deleted the post for reasons that were not immediately clear. An F.B.I. spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

What's New

Steamworks has a new accessibility-support questionnaire for developers to better describe the way their games support accessibility. If your game supports Accessibility features, you can now specify that information within Steamworks.

  • Gameplay options, like adjustable difficulty
  • Audio accessibility features, including custom volume controls and narrated game menus
  • Visual accessibility features, including adjustable text size and color alternatives
  • Input options, which include chat speech-to-text and text-to-speech

Later in the year (once we've given developers time to work on it from their end) we'll start sharing the resulting information with players in the Steam store and Steam desktop client.

Members of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), observers, UN partners, and representatives from civil society came together on Thursday to discuss and explore sustainable approaches to providing assistance and protection to refugees and host communities, while pursuing durable solutions to the crisis of forced displacement.

Speaking at the meeting, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, highlighted four areas. He noted that over the past decade, the number of refugees and displaced people has doubled, from about 60 million to more than120 million plus, primarily due to conflicts. Grandi said, “Wars conducted increasingly in total impunity in respect of international humanitarian law means that civilians, it's obvious, civilians are targeted or impacted at least. And so they flee. They have no other choice but to flee.”

He's adequately square, but the dumbass that set him didn't quite push him flush. Most hotel showers have this problem. Sorry not sorry you will see this in every hotel room ever now.
