Supreme Court ensures telehealth access to abortion pill mifepristone

The Supreme Court has restored broad access to the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking a ruling that had threatened to upend one of the main ways abortion is provided across the nation. The justices’ order Monday allows women seeking abortions to obtain the pill at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor. Those rules had been in effect for several years until a federal appeals court imposed new restrictions last week. Most abortions are obtained with medication, normally mifepristone and a second drug, misoprostol. Their availability has made abortion accessible to women in states with bans, including Louisiana. Louisiana sued, saying mifepristone’s availability undermined the ban there.

NEW: DHS subpoenaed Google for a Canadian man's location and account activity after he criticized ICE. The man hasn't been in the US in 10+ years, and DHS used an import law from the 1930s to try to get his data. ACLU is fighting it. @[email protected] w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/dhs-de...

DHS Demanded Google Surrender Data on Canadian's Activity, Location Over Anti-ICE Posts

Using a 1930s trade law, Homeland Security targeted the man—who hasn't entered the US in more than a decade—following posts on X condemning the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Putting some feelers out, as I am facing the potential of losing my job for an aversion to engaging with generative AI.

I am looking for work. I am in New Zealand.

I am very good at:
- Written communication
- Picking up new software and...
-- Writing help guides
-- Developing e-learning
-- Delivering training (in person or online)

I also have some experience with
- Digital design
- Interpreting legislation

My software-specific skills are unfortunately
- Microsoft SharePoint
- Microsoft Power Apps
- Microsoft Power Automate

I do no want to engage with generative AI in any way. This seems to be incompatible with my skillset, but I have to try I guess!

If you know someone hiring something like this, I'd love to hear about it.

Moscow has tightened security ahead of the May 9 parade, turning the city center into a heavily controlled zone. Checkpoints have been deployed at entrances to the capital, armored vehicles and machine gun-equipped SUVs were seen near the Kremlin, and special forces took positions on Kremlin towers, walls and surrounding buildings. Red Square is fully closed, while some incoming drones are described as decoys. #Russia

Ukrainian intelligence has declassified russian's UAV "Klyn" along with dissection of each component https://war-sanctions.gur.gov.ua/en/page-klyn

what's interesting here (aside from the fact almost nothing is manufactured in russia and that not only Chinese are bypassing sanctions):
- Nvidia Jetson TX2; usually their appliance is to autolock on target using ML;
- Chinese LoRa modem (I assume that can be used as mesh device) to evade electronic warfare systems

Klyn UAV

Thousands of electronic components, originally intended to improve lives and fuel development, are perversely repurposed by aggressors into instruments of violence. These weapons rely heavily on foreign-made components. Disrupting this supply chain is critical to impede their ability to fight, occupy and kill.

Banks seek to offload risk to avoid ‘choking’ on data centre debt: Global lenders explore private deals and risk transfers to cut exposure to AI boom

what this means is packaging up the data centre loans like toxic waste bombs, pre-Global Financial Crisis style

One of ours local Green Party members shared this, this morning!! It has sparked lots of debate.
The takeaway seems to be
'vote Green, have this'
truly shocking approach to local politics.

If we do get any of our candidates elected here I will be very happy to welcome people who need help and support and to help ensure the place is run in accordance with the law 🤗🤗
