The Trump administration is threatening Europe with economic retaliation for trying to reduce its dependence on Musk's Starlink. Europe wants technological sovereignty, and Washington responds with threats. From satellite communications to cloud services […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Screenshot of a Financial Times article headlined “US threatens Europe over Starlink restrictions”. The subheading reads: “Ambassador Andrew Puzder warns about ‘devastating’ retaliation if Brussels goes ahead with plans to limit spectrum access for non-EU companies.” Below the headline is a photograph of Elon Musk, holding a medal in an open presentation case, standing beside Donald Trump. American flags are visible in the background.

It's the kind of auroras right now where it just looks like a greenish smudge to your eyes, but then you take a photo and it's ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Please enjoy this lovely instrument (a camera) that lets us see a bunch of colours too faint for our eyeballs!

A nighttime scene, with silhouetted trees in the lower corners of the photos, and bright green auroras across the horizon, with some pink and red pillars above, almost blocking the Milky Way, visible vertically across the sky.

Same idea as the previous photo, but now the green in the lower part of the sky is also reflected by a small pond.

More bright green auroras with red and pink pillars above, the Milky Way sticking up out of the middle, and a bit of green reflected in a small pond with silhouetted trees.

The Roberts Court has issued a shadow docket ruling in USPS v. California, rejecting the Trump regime’s request for a stay of lower court judges’ preliminary injunctions prohibiting USPS from implementing a Final Rule meant to take over vote-from-home (absentee/mail voting). 1/ #LawFedi

From the Supreme Court docket: “Sep 14 2026
Application (26A305) for stay presented to Justice Jackson and by her referred to the Court is denied. The Government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the District Court's preliminary injunction. And the equitable factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this Court do not favor a stay. Justice Kavanaugh, concurring.
