Washington Post meteorologist has a scientific answer for the weather conspiracy theorists who got a bit excited in DC this afternoon.
Fabulousness from Rose Ann Prevec. ;)

Ich schwör wenn mir noch einmal Nichtbehinderte sagen, dass sie es „super“ finden, wie sehr ich für mein Thema brenne… ja, weiß auch nicht, passiert täglich, es macht mich fertig, es ist weit entfernt von jeder behinderten Lebensrealität, es ist paternalistisch, ableistisch, und so viel mehr.

A lot of confusion about this: ICE ("Immigration and Customs Enforcement" and CBP ("Customs and Border Protection") are two different agencies. Both are under DHS, both are tasked with immigration and customs missions, and both do field enforcement.

Both agencies are involved in the current crackdown and detentions, but they aren't the same, and confusion between them often means it's hard to know what happened or who to contact when someone has been arrested in a raid or sweep.

In modern warfare, it’s not just about who has the biggest bombs — it's about who controls the story.

Iranian state TV was hacked on Weds night, and instead of the usual government-approved programming, viewers were shown footage of women's protests from 2022, and urged to rise up against the regime and take to the streets.

An embarrassing hack? Sure. But more than that, it was further evidence that cyberwarfare also has its part to play in trying to control the narrative.
