AP News · Harvard foreign students in limbo as college challenges Trump’s banHarvard University is challenging President Donald Trump’s move to block foreign students from coming to the United States to attend the Ivy League school, calling it illegal retaliation for Harvard’s rejection of White House demands. In an amended complaint filed Thursday, Harvard called the president’s action an end-run around a previous court order. Last month, a federal judge blocked the Department of Homeland Security from revoking Harvard’s ability to host foreign students. The filing attacks Trump’s legal justification for the action — a federal law allowing him to block a “class of aliens” deemed detrimental to the nation’s interests.

The #eruption of #Vesuvius in 79 AD came to the inhabitants of cities #Pompeii and Herculaneum unprepared. Remnants of their #everydaylives survived the millennia. What didn't survive, we can only imagine. Images: my #ideas of Pompeii's #citizens between #panic and #uncertainty.

Authors D. Sparice et al. (2024) reconstructed that the eruption was accompanied by #earthquakes.

The civil society of a nation has the right to take legal actions against #politicians and officials, who have breached international #law and are suspects in cases of the Hague #icj #icc

So whatever individual members of the EU may plot to sanction their own #citizens, from now on, as journalists we are going to record data to hold these officials to account.

What could possibly go wrong:

»“#governments must provide their #citizens with a space that is as neutral as possible, but moderated — to avoid insults and harassment — in which they can discuss political and social issues.”«

Happy to be on the #Fediverse, a space where involvement of corporations or governments is frowned upon, at least by a significant, and vocal part of participants.

Try to imagine an "ErdoganNet", or "OrbanNet" as "a space that is as neutral as possible, but moderated — to avoid insults and harassment — in which they can discuss political and social issues".

Help, defend & protect your fellow #citizens.
Your #governments & the (mostly corrupt) #politicians don't need to be defended, protected or given a hand up. Your neigbours do though.

Hold your politicians accountable. Demand that they actually do their jobs to serve their constituents. They're not your genuine friend. They are elected #PublicServants. Remind them of that fact because many forget about their #duty & #responsibility to serve the public, once they get elected.

The #EuropeanCommission has published an "Impact Assessment on retention of data by service providers for criminal proceedings". It is open for comment until 18 June: ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r

This is a terrible proposal which will seriously weaken the fundamental #privacy rights of #European #citizens. Please take the time to read it and add your comments. You don't have to be an #EU citizen to comment.
