Does anyone know how to strip geotags out of cell phone videos? A friend of mine is in touch with someone in Minneapolis who's trying to share what she's witnessed. My friend is concerned about her contact's safety.

Boosts appreciated.

This is far from the first UK government to throw money at buying hardware that is not very useful for computer science research, while simultaneously underinvesting in computer science research. And then complaining that UK universities are slipping in international rankings for computer science.

@david_chisnall @neil the Swedish government brags about investing in AI when they let foreign big tech companies build datacenters (with a discount on electricity). Driving domestic inflation. The lack of competence (not just computer science) among leading politicians is mind blowing. Smart people needs to drop what they're doing and transit from academia and private industry into party politics, if liberal democracy is to survive. ASAP. #svpol #eupol #uspol

Faculty firings over Kirk commentary are unraveling

The fierce First Amendment clash between faculty and their colleges sparked by the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is starting to tip in the educators’ favor.

This is one of those sentences where at no point will you expect the next word in the sentence.

“There is a special kind of rage that comes from realizing your car is gone while you are holding a box of dildos and trying to overthrow a federal agency before midnight. This is not covered in any mindfulness app.”

Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports

While immigration officers support the Trump administration’s goal of deporting undocumented migrants, many of them have grown ‘disillusioned’ with leadership’s tactics, according to reports

Analysis: "Minneapolis Is Going on Offense Against ICE"

"The Twin Cities Sunrise Movement has pushed the resistance onto offense, targeting the Hilton hotels that quietly house ICE agents."

This campaign got "a local Hilton to refuse service to ICE" (temporarily).

"ICE’s opponents can go on the offensive nationwide by pressuring companies like Hilton, Enterprise, & Home Depot to stop collaborating with the agency."

Minneapolis Is Going on Offense Against ICE

We spoke to a Minneapolis organizer about the community-organizing infrastructure there in response to ICE, why targeting corporations that profit from ICE is working, and how other cities could do the same in their fight against ICE terror.

Not a comprehensive list by any means - but I want people to know and familiarize themselves with these names, ages, places. Because these people deserve to have their names said out loud, too.

And many more.

(Marimar Martinez did survive and it appears the Feds are dropping the charges against her. But that doesn’t mean she won’t be a target from now on by them)
