Our President has denied accepting a deal with the Trump administration that would allow them to dump migrants here. We did accept allowing US border patrol to train our border patrol with how to “screen for suspected terrorists.” This just means brutalizing more teenagers at the border.

Ukraine loses another f16. Ukraine has managed to destroy even more f16 than Russia. I guess that is what happens when you operate Soviet Air defence. One second you don't hold the leash and wedding bomber is gone. Pilot could not manage to eject in time

Looking forward to next week when Israel bombs Iran again and Iran is completely blindsided by it.

Regardless of whether the ceasefire holds or not (it will be violated by the Zionist entity either way), the IRGC could always use the humiliating terms and implications of the ceasefire to stage a coup or declare martial law against the reformist government, correctly blaming the general predicament that the IRI is currently facing squarely on the reformist's shoulders. Iran needs nukes and good AA, but they have to take care of the rot inside first. It makes no sense to remodel a house without first handling the termite problem.

Venezuela, Uruguay agree to renew consular services - Latin American Reports

Good on President Orsi for re-establishing relations with Venezuela, the article does not mention it, but Uruguay no longer recognizes Edmundo Gonzalez as President of Venezuela (Juan Guaido 2). I guess Uruguay only recognizes the Status Quo (meaning they de facto recognize Maduro as President but not de jure, so as not to anger USA and EU. Mexico, Colombia and Brazil also did the same thing).

So is this more of an oil thing or more of a belt and road initiative thing? (Referring to the war on Iran)

I missed the boat, but I can't help but still respond to this comment by @s0ykaf@hexbear.net from the previous news mega:

he's an english literature graduate who decided to create a "new kind of history", based on asimov's psychohistory, after teaching a shallow as fuck course of "the entirety of human history" (lmao.) to some school age teenagers

People who understand neither history, nor psychology, nor mathematics, nor Asimov. SMDH.

In other news, I was checking netblocks to see if there were any changes with the Iranian Internet situation and it appears that there is an outage in Panama attributed to a crackdown on banana workers union. Democracy Now has a SHORT article about it: Panama Declares State of Emergency Over Worker Rebellion.

The government of Panama has declared a state of emergency, suspending constitutional protections in the Bocas del Toro province after two months of worker-led protests and road blockades in opposition to a contested social security reform. The province is a major banana-producing region where workers have spoken out against exploitative conditions by banana giant Chiquita. The corporation, formerly known as United Fruit Company, fired thousands of striking workers last month.

Curiously, I was at the grocery story yesterday and the bananas were all fucking green. Not ripe at all. I guess this is related. 🤔

Weird shit going on in Iraq rn. Reports of drone attacks on a couple of airbases but not clear who's targeting and who's being targeted.

this might age poorly but kinda feels like what's happening?

US airbase at Al-Udeid in Qatar is hit by Iranian missiles. US military bases in Iraq, Bahrain and Kuwait go on high alert. US leader Trump is taken to the Situation Room in Washington. Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates close their airspace

Government of Qatar: "The attack on the Al Udeid airbase is a flagrant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and its airspace. Qatar reserves the right to respond directly, in a manner proportionate to the nature and gravity of the attack, and in accordance with international law."

Government of Iran: "Our operations are free of any threat to brother Qatar and his people. The attack is a response in accordance with international law and the right to self-defense. Our message to the White House and its allies is clear: Iran will not let any attack go unanswered."

Iran's Defense Minister: “We are determined to punish the aggressor, we reject peace imposed by force and we consider Washington a source of crisis and instability in the region.”

Supreme Court curbs injunctions that blocked Trump's birthright citizenship plan - NBC News

The Trump administration wants to end automatic birthright citizenship as enshrined in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday handed a major win to the Trump administration by allowing it to take steps to implement its proposal to end automatic birthright citizenship.

In a 6-3 vote, the court granted a request by the Trump administration to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions imposed by judges so that they apply only to states, groups and individuals that sued. That means the birthright citizenship proposal can likely move forward at least in part in the states that challenged it as well as those that did not. The court was divided on ideological lines, with conservatives in the majority and liberals in dissent.

"When a court concludes that the executive branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too," Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority. But she indicated that the nationwide injunctions are limited "only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary." Lower courts, she added "shall move expeditiously" to figure out how broad the injunctions can be.

The court also said that the administration can continue working administratively on how the policy would be implemented. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor read a summary of her dissent from the bench in the courtroom, saying the ruling was a "travesty for the rule of the law" and an "open invitation to bypass the constitution."

Federal courts "will be hamstrung" when it comes to nationwide injunctions but she urged potential plaintiffs to immediately file class action lawsuits, a legal avenue the court left open. In a separate dissenting opinion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote that the decision was “an existential threat to the rule of law.”

The policy remains blocked for now in one additional state, New Hampshire, as a result of a separate lawsuit that is not before the Supreme Court. As a result of the ruling, the proposal can potentially move forward nationwide, although individual plaintiffs could still file their own lawsuits in those states and the current challengers can still move to reinstate injunctions that are less broad in scope. Trump's original executive order said the plan would go into effect after 30 days, but it was almost immediately blocked.

The decision does not address the legal merits of the plan, but only whether judges had the authority to put it on hold across the entire country. President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies have been harshly critical of judges who have blocked aspects of his agenda, although it is not a new phenomenon for courts to impose nationwide injunctions.

It has long been widely accepted, including by legal scholars on left and right, that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment confers automatic citizenship to almost anyone born in the United States.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States,” the amendment says. Based on historical practice, the only exception is people who are the children of diplomats. Trump wants to adopt a completely new meaning of the language that would confer citizenship only on those who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Trump’s executive order, issued on his first day in office in January, was immediately challenged, and every court that has ruled on the proposal so far has blocked it. At issue at the Supreme Court were cases filed in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state. In court papers, former acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris said judges did not have the authority to issue nationwide injunctions and that the states that sued did not have legal standing.

The Trump plan has the backing of 21 other states. The administration has complained bitterly as judges have issued nationwide injunctions in response to Trump’s bold and aggressive use of executive power to implement his contentious agenda, which has included ramping up deportations, downsizing federal agencies, targeting law firms and universities, and firing thousands of federal employees.

Justice Department officials say there have been dozens such rulings and have described them as being an unconstitutional attack on the president’s authority. Previous administrations, both Republican and Democratic, have also had their agenda’s threatened by nationwide injunctions, although they have become more commonplace in recent years.

Prisons Business Center in Estonia wants to open an e-shop to sell items made by inmates

• Estonian state news agency "Eesti Rahvusringhääling" ~25/06/25~

The Prisons Business Center is preparing to launch an online store to market handicrafts and custom-made products created by inmates. To streamline the process, they are asking the Ministry of Justice to allow them to enter into smaller contracts without the need for public procurement procedures.

The Prisons Business Center is seeking to open an online store to market handicrafts and custom-made products. In a letter sent to the Ministry of Justice and Digital Affairs, Tallinn Prison noted that there are already examples of good practice — under the Stoveman brand, quality metal products made by inmates are currently being sold.

Aaro Nursi, a member of the Tallinn Prison Commission, informed the ministry that prisons — particularly the Prisons Business Center — need more flexible conditions for finding partners. This would help increase inmate employment and better utilize prison production capacity.

"Current public procurement procedures limit Tallinn Prison's ability to respond quickly to smaller orders and to collaborate with local businesses and municipalities," Nursi said.

He pointed out that, for example, laundry and sewing services could be used more frequently by state institutions, but there are no clear guidelines for allowing internal transactions. Smaller or seasonal orders are often missed because potential partners lack the resources to participate in procurement procedures.

Additionally, prisons cover all production costs themselves — from materials to equipment — and therefore need steady and flexible orders to operate production in a sustainable and cost-effective way.

As a result, the Tallinn Prison Commission proposed that small-scale direct contracts be allowed without the standard public procurement process. They also suggested clarifying the rules for internal transactions between state agencies in order to encourage the purchase of services from prisons.

The prison commission also called on the Ministry of Justice to support the marketing and e-commerce development of prisons, including online sales, and to involve inmates in pilot projects aimed at testing more flexible cooperation models.

"We believe this would increase inmate engagement, support reintegration into society and make prisons more visible and trustworthy partners," Nursi said, asking the ministry to initiate discussions on changing public procurement regulations.

The Ministry of Justice, however, was in no hurry to commit. Deputy Secretary General Rait Kuuse responded to Nursi that the proposal would be taken into account in planning the future activities and direction of the Prisons Business Center, but the ministry currently has no plans to amend procurement regulations.

"The purpose of creating the business center was to boost inmate employment and production capacity — goals that align with the strategic aims of the prison service. Today, we can say the business center has been successful in increasing employment and has launched several new cooperation projects with various partners," Kuuse noted.

The Prisons Business Center was established last year, replacing the former state-owned company AS Eesti Vanglatööstus, and operates across all three of Estonia's prisons.

At Tallinn Prison, inmates produce textiles, metal and wood products; the facility also operates an industrial-scale laundry and handles product assembly and packaging. Examples of inmate-made goods include fireplaces, outdoor grills, fireplace accessories, sauna stoves, metal structures and a variety of custom wood products.

Viru Prison's laundry offers a full range of laundry services. It also produces sauna stoves sold under the Stoveman brand and performs various woodworking tasks.

Tartu Prison provides shot blasting and powder coating services.
