While Trump works to destroy Marine Protected Areas, we’re fighting to establish one. It’s not as big, but huge in its own way. HELP US by sending an email to Miami Beach city commission, urging them to allocate funds to permit Miami Beach Marine Park: patrickbreshike.substack.com/p/reef-update-…

Here is my latest The Intercept on the fallout of the Vietnam War and its terrible -- and still increasing -- toll on civilians. theintercept.com/2025/04/30/vie…

While the Flotilla which was attacked by drones is closest to Malta, the Maltese Gov has not responded yet. Cypress responded to the SOS & sent a vessel.

📣 The rushed integration of AI into everything is a major threat to privacy, as we've been saying. Microsoft Recall is a great (not great!) example of exactly why--it screenshots everything on your desktop, to give AI the data to tell you...what you were doing on desktop.
