$Climate Change Temperature Extremes Overall extreme temperature crises can strain public systems, leading to inappropriate police responses in place of medical or social services Temperature Extremes are linked to Extreme Heat and Extreme Cold Extreme Cold Fewer people outdoors in winter reduces bystander presence, decreasing accountability during police encounters Basic survival actions like loitering or seeking warmth are more often penalized, especially in cities with harsh homelessness policies Cold weather pushes unhoused and marginalized individuals into public indoor spaces, raising the likelihood of police interactions and potential use of force Extreme Heat Heat can impair decision-making and emotional regulation for everyone involved, potentially reducing the effectiveness of de-escalation strategies by officers and increasing the likelihood of use-of-force incidents Hot weather tends to increase outdoor activity and public congregation, especially in urban areas, which may lead to more frequent police-civilian interactions which raises the probability of confrontations escalating to violence Extreme Heat & Extreme Cold point to Fatal Police Violence Historical and Structural Disinvestment E.g. Redlining, discriminatory lending, racial covenants Underfunded neighborhoods and fewer economic opportunities Patterns of neighborhood structural deprivation; connected to Heightened Police Surveillance Historical & structural Disinvestment points to Heightened Police Surveillance Heightened Police Surveillance Activities associated with poverty like loitering, public gatherings, or minor infractions are hyper surveilled and penalized disproportionately Fatal Police Violence$

Right now, I only found the executive summary in English. I don't know if I'm going to read the full report eventually, I don't have time to read everything, I haven't read Lee Mordechai's report yet. But I do want to highlight top of the diagram on the last page:

Diagram heading: Gazan population
In a row from left to right: Anti-resistance critics
Genuine victims
Hamas threatened
Hamas affiliated
Hamas operatives
Hamas civilian government
Hamas military wing
The last three are connected with what look like equals signs.
All items above have arrows pointing to the box on the next row
Next row: Source of information, mediators of information, processors of information

Edited transcript of ai-generated content from Google Lens
Search term: the cube of a square is also a square
◆ Al Overview
No, the cube of a square is not always a square. While the cube of a square is a fourth power, it can be a square in some specific cases, like 64 (which is 4 cubed and 8 squared). However, the general rule is that the cube of a square results in a number with an exponent of 4, not 2.
Here's why:
Squaring a number:
Squaring a number (n²) means multiplying it by itself (n* n).
Cubing a number:
Cubing a number (n³) means multiplying it by itself three times (n*n* n).
The cube of a square:
If you start with a number, square it (n²), and then cube the result ((n²)³), you are essentially multiplying the number by itself a total of six times (n*n*n*n*n*n), which is n to the power of 6 (n"). This is not the same as n².
Exception:
If the number you are starting with is itself a perfect square (e.g., 4, which is 2"), then the cube of that square (43) would be 64, which is also a square (8²). However, this is not true for all numbers.
In simpler terms:
If you have a square, say 9 (32), cubing it gives you 729 (93), which is not a square number.
If you have a square number, like 16 (42), and you cube it, you get 4096 (163), which is not a square number.

In response to the Supreme Court's ruling in United States v Skrmetti, Ann Toback, CEO of the Workers Circle, released this statement
June 18, 2025
Our hearts break today with the Supreme Court's ruling on United States v. Skrmetti, which upholds a Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. We know that gender-affirming care is lifesaving care and we will continue to stand in solidarity with the trans and queer members of our community. Everyone should have access to the medical care they need. This is a value the Workers Circle has stood by throughout our 125-year history, from the days in which we offered medical services, life insurance, and elder care. We will continue to fight for democracy and the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, who should be guaranteed equal protection by our Constitution.

I was also overly optimistic about Barrett. Image with alt text:

The Equal Protection Clause does not demand height-ened judicial scrutiny of laws that classify based on transgender status. Rational-basis review applies, which means that courts must give legislatures flexibility to make policy in this area.

Image with alt text; highlighted portion starts "The number is 40 percent" and goes to the end of the image text.

Elon Musk stood before a giant American flag at a Wisconsin political rally in March and rolled out an eye-popping allegation of rampant fraud at the Social Security Administration. Scammers, he said, were making 40 percent of all calls to the agency's customer service line.
Social Security employees knew the billionaire's claim had no basis in fact. After journalists followed up, staff members began drafting a response correcting the record.
That's when Leland Dudek - plucked from a midlevel job only six weeks earlier to run Social Security because of his willingness to cooperate with Mr. Musk's Department of Government Efficiency got an angry call from the White House, according to several people familiar with the exchange.
"The number is 40 percent," insisted Katie Miller, a top administration aide who was working closely with Mr. Musk, according to one of the people familiar with the April 1 call. President Trump believed Mr. Musk, she said. "Do not contradict the president."

I mean, just take a look at the banner on the FB page for 'rescue reston': 'Green space must be there for our children's children's children' www.facebook.com/RescueReston

GREEN OVER GREED

GREEN OVER GREED
When Reston's two golf courses were established, the potential population densities of their areas were shifted elsewhere to preserve the open space as "golf course." Developers are trying to circumvent the established densities to build more and more.
Reston cannot let them get away with this. Green space must be there for our children's children's children...

seems letatcestmoi blocked you, possibly because you alluded to the Gaza genocide which they deny

Everything you write is a lie drawn from explicitly antisemitic Russian/Islamist propaganda.

PS You are clearly a propaganda troll, but for sane others: There is no genocide against Palestinians, whose population has continued to climb over the decades.

EL PASO - On a recent windy, cold afternoon in this border city, dozens of people gathered at a park for an immigrant rights demonstration to denounce the Trump administration's immigration policies. Some held signs reading: "Immigrants Make America Great."
Alan, a local police officer, and his wife came and held a Mexican flag. He said he joined the demonstration because he worries about his father, an undocumented immigrant who works at a farm in southern New Mexico.
Alan said he voted for Donald Trump because of worries about the economy and because he believes Trump is pro-police and would combat the public's negative perception of law enforcement. He said he believed Trump's promises to make everyday items affordable for middle-class families.
But after two weeks of Trump in the White House, Alan who declined to give his last name because he fears retaliation against his father - said he now regrets his vote. Partly because he was angered when Trump granted clemency to people involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
