Ah, Le dessous des cartes 😍🔥

1/ EEUU anunció el bloqueo para el lunes a las 14:00 UTC. No había Notice to Mariners publicado y aun nada. Es un bloqueo naval sin aviso formal a los navegantes. Los capitanes en la zona sin instrucciones oficiales. Es como cortar una autopista sin poner señales. 🧵

This was a tough one to write, and I took a bit of a personal risk sharing my own career-long process of discovery from tentatively swayed by the potential for deep-sea mining to convinced that we are simply not ready.

NEW op-ed: The “Everywhere Border”: How Technology Shapes Migration and Fuels Resistance

While governments expand digital surveillance, migrant women and grassroots organisations are using it to build networks of care, resistance, and survival.

"These... border policing practices... had the cumulative effect of creating more dangerous circumstances for migrants attempting the Channel crossing, and shown state policies to prevent small boat crossings as being a clear driver in the increased number of deaths amongst migrants in the Channel"

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

While most of the country has moved on, the unprecedented military response to Trump’s “national emergency at the southern border” has quietly continued in tandem with the Department of Homeland Security. The War Horse and The Border Chronicle teamed up to examine how President Trump’s pledge to secure the border has turbocharged the militarization of the 1,954-mile frontier. In the last 14 months, the administration has: transformed more than 40% of the border from public land into no-trespassing military zones, with new additions as recently as February; expanded an invisible surveillance network that monitors the wilderness and border communities, and ramped up the Department of Defense’s sharing of military-grade equipment and technology with U.S. Customs and Border Protection; begun installing the first stretch of hundreds of miles of sensor-enabled orange buoys, each nearly five feet in diameter, to create a barrier dividing Texas’ Rio Grande; quadrupled the number of troops while freeing up federal border agents to shift their focus to America’s cities as the battle over what Trump has called the “invasion” moved to Los Angeles, then D.C., then Chicago, and Minneapolis.

Mujeres invisibles en los campos: el paradigma de las inmigrantes temporeras en España En el sector del manipulado y recolección de frutas, las mujeres migrantes se enfrentan a situaciones de discriminación, violencia sexual y dificultades de acceso a la atención sanitaria.

[1/8] Plusieurs chercheurs en santé publique et sociologie analysent les conditions des femmes migrantes saisonnières en #Espagne. Leur étude montre comment l’agriculture repose sur un système spatial de fortes inégalités sociales.

I look at the world, at the forests and the mountains here, the sky, and it's all right, as it should be. But we aren't. People aren't. We're wrong. We do wrong. No animal does wrong. How could they? But we can, and we do. And we never stop.

Secretive deal leaves deportees from the US stuck in Equatorial Guinea with 'no more hope' Accounts are emerging from people deported from the U.S. to the African petrostate of Equatorial Guinea in a multi-million-dollar, third-country deal with the Trump administration.

Estados Unidos está deportando a gente de diversos países a Guinea Ecuatorial, una de las autocracias más crueles y corrompidas del continente africano. A cambio, la dictadura de Teodoro Obiang recibe 7,5 millones de dólares.

This week, 116 people were stranded for four days on the Miskar offshore gas platform in the middle of the Mediterranean - among them two babies, one child, and several teenagers. They had fled Libya and were caught in a storm with winds up to 40 knots and 6-meter waves.

Ma suggestion pour nous rapprocher de l’Europe Plutôt que d’adhérer à l’Union européenne, Stéphane Dion propose que le Canada devienne membre de la Communauté politique européenne, un forum semestriel.

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

The best! 🙌🙌🙌

Mientras avanza la guerra los desplazados y refugiados huyen a los países fronterizos. Pero como en conflictos anteriores, acabarán llegando a Europa buscando protección. Entre tanto, la UE no ha movido un dedo ante un flujo que puede ser una de las mayores crisis humanitarias de las últimas décadas

Basta! We are disobeying Italian command to head to the north of Italy - We are sailing to Trapani port. We won't jeopardize the health of the remaining 57 survivors on board our #SeaWatch5 by heading to a port more than 1,100 km away from the rescue site. Trapani is 50km close!

Aparte de misiles, drones y minas, hay algo de lo que no se habla y que hace de Ormuz una pesadilla: el jamming y el spoofing de GPS. Suena técnico pero es muy sencillo. Os lo cuento. 🧵

Happening now! We know of at least 225+ people, including children, fighting for their lives. Authorities have been alerted, and they do NOTHING as the waves rise and the temperature drops.

Todo el mundo asumía que si Irán cerraba Ormuz sería un todo o nada. Un portazo. Suicidio económico incluido porque su propio crudo sale por ahí. Por eso los analistas decían "no lo hará." Yo mismo lo enseñé aquí 👇🏼 en noviembre. Pues me equivoqué. Lo ha hecho. Pero no como esperábamos. 🧵

"When verif times for AI-assisted targets are measured in secs, we are no longer talking about human judgment w/ algorithmic assistance. We are talking about rubber-stamping a machine’s output. And when that machine’s data is a decade out of date, the conseq are written in rows of small coffins."

These aren’t AI firms, they’re defense contractors. We can’t let them hide behind their models From Gaza to Iran, the pattern is the same: precision weapons, chosen blindness, and dead children. The cost of failing to regulate AI warfare is already too high

"The result is a world in which the most consequential targeting decisions are made by systems that cannot explain themselves, supplied by companies that answer to no one, in conflicts that generate no acc & no reckoning. That is not a failure of the system. That is the system"

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
