Voyager 1 is running on less memory than a single photo in your camera roll—69 KB. Its data is saved to an 8-track tape & software was developed when "the cloud" was in the sky. NASA sends commands and the old thing answers. And yet your brand new laptop freezes because you opened too many tabs.

Putin launches attacks against Ukrainian civilians every day, but all that Trump envoys seem focused on is how to make money by working with him. The indifference to Putin's atrocities in pursuit of oil deals is deeply disturbing to me, and I bet it is to a lot of Americans. What are your thoughts?

Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.

Immigration court judge finds Unsafe Journeys Policy was applied unlawfully to two families A decision by the Home Office to block mothers and children in Gaza from joining their families in the UK has been quashed by a court.

But the VAC in Gaza has been closed since October 2023, and it is difficult to get out of the territory. Continue reading...
