Letting people get potentially tortured while you decide if it is actual torture is a hell of a position to take.

This story brought me back to Kara, one of the mothers in my book, There Is No Place for Us. She was homeless with her four kids while driving for DoorDash. They had to pee in bottles so bathroom stops wouldn't make her late. After gas, she earned $6.50 an hour—75 cents less than the minimum wage.

ICE is removing detainees with final deportation orders from its online tracking system. This makes it nearly impossible for their lawyers and families to contact them, which could prevent them from using all their constitutionally protected legal options. Trump’s cruelty is endless.

First eyewitness accounts from this afternoon’s ICE shooting in Austin is here, from freelance reporter Emiliano Tahui Gómez.

Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such

Here in North Austin, where ICE agents appear to have shot an individual in his car. I spoke to two of the only witnesses.

Nedevia Bolaños and her husband, Carlos, own a business just off the intersection where the shooting happened. Shortly before 1 pm they says they heard what sounded like two gunshots. Carlos ran out first. A blue Toyota sedan and a black Escalade were stopped under the highway.Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such
 
He said he saw an olive-skinned man, seemingly in his 30s, leaning backwards against his seat. A masked agent was standing outside the car. The agent refused to answer questions. Within a few minutes as many as 10 other ICE agents arrived.

Carlos asked the victim if he was ok. "Yes," the man said in Spanish, but he looked exhausted. Carlos asked why they had shot him. "Because I didn't stop."Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such. 

Bolaños ran up next. She said she continously asked the ICE agents about why they'd shot him and if they were going to render aid. They didn't answer her. It was an APD officer who later arrived and cut open the young mans shirt, revealing a deep hole between his shoulder blades. The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes after and carried him off. "I've never seen all this. Thank God I'm a citizen," Bolaños said in Spanish. "Or I'd be living like this. In a dream of terror."

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Leo A - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/oYJBRJ
An important dwarf galaxy that you've probably never heard of said to be made of the primordial stuff of galaxies. Taken straight from  the proposal (10590) for this image:

"Leo A is the best nearby candidate to be a redshift zero analogue to the major building blocks of the Milky Way."

So, there you have it. If you want to study galaxy formation, I assume that it helps to have data on stuff like this.

I only wish that the composition and chip gap had a more satisfactory solution. The edges of the galaxy didn't quite fit on the detector and some older WFPC2 data was available to fill the chip gap but only half of it. It's hard enough to get people interested in what is most likely the commonest type of galaxy in the Universe without these aesthetic insults to hamper attempts at it.

Still, these data were quite comprehensive and with no less than 8 sets available for both channels, an incredibly smooth and cosmic-ray-free result is possible with minimal effort. It's give and take in the world of limited Hubble time.

Red: Median stack of 8 ACS / WFC F814W panels
Green: Pseudo
Blue: Median stack of 8 ACS / WFC F475W panels

Chip gap filler:
Red: hst_05915_01_wfpc2_f814w_wf_sci
Green: Pseudo
Blue: hst_05915_01_wfpc2_f439w_wf_sci

The latest view of another dusty spiral galaxy from JWST's MIRI. Took a bit of doing this time because the pipeline images available from the archive had a lot of alignment issues. I had to manually mosaic this. Luckily it wasn't too difficult, or at least my human brain handled it fine. Not sure what is so confounding to a computer brain.
