Cientos de estudiantes de secundaria en las Ciudades Gemelas abandonaron el colegio el lunes [12 de enero de 2026] para protestar contra la aplicación de la ley federal de inmigración en Minnesota, y algunos líderes escolares de la región están cada vez más preocupados por el alto ausentismo, ya que las familias temen verse atrapadas en las operaciones del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos.

Se estima que unos 500 estudiantes de secundaria salieron del instituto Roseville el lunes por la mañana, caminando desde su colegio, rodeando el estacionamiento y subiendo a un puente sobre la autopista 36 de Minnesota en Roseville [un suburbio al norte de las Ciudades Gemelas].

Zimbabwe's peak month of inflation is estimated at 79.6 billion percent month-on-month, 89.7 sextillion (8.97 × 10^22^) percent year-on-year in mid-November 2008. At that time, a $100 trillion banknote could not pay for a simple bus fare.

Hundreds of Twin Cities high school students walked out of school Monday to protest federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota, and some school leaders in the region are increasingly concerned about high absenteeism with families fearing being caught up in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

An estimated 500 high school students walked out of Roseville High School Monday morning, walking from their school, around the parking lot and onto a bridge over Minnesota Highway 36 in Roseville.

ProPublica, in a 2023 story, reexamined the incident, the legal presumptions, the background of the men and Stingley’s father’s relentless legal campaign to bring the men into court. The three men previously had defended their actions as justified and necessary to deal with an emergency as they held Stingley while waiting for police to arrive.

Ozanne, who was appointed in 2022 to review the case, recommended the agreement after the two men and the Stingley family engaged in an extensive restorative justice process, in which they sat face to face, under the supervision of a retired judge, and shared their thoughts and feelings. Ozanne said in the letter that the process “appears to have been healing for all involved.”

From the bench, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Laura Crivello said she found the agreement to be fair and just and commended the work of all the parties to come to a resolution.

“Maybe this is the spark that makes other people see similarities in each other and not differences,” she said. “Maybe this is the spark that makes them think about restorative justice and how do we come together. And maybe this is part of the spark that decreases the violence in our community and leads us to finding the paths to have those circles to sit down and have the dialogue and to have that conversation. So maybe there’s some good that comes out of it.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday even as he has questioned her credibility to take over her country after the U.S. ousted then-President Nicolás Maduro.

The Nobel Institute has said Machado could not give her prize to Trump, an honor that he has coveted. Even if it the gesture proves to be purely symbolic, it was extraordinary given that Trump has effectively sidelined Machado, who has long been the face of resistance in Venezuela. He has signaled his willingness to work with acting President Delcy Rodríguez, who had been Maduro’s second in command.

“I presented the president of the United States the medal, the Nobel Peace Prize,” Machado told reporters after leaving the White House and heading to Capitol Hill. She said she had done so “as a recognition for his unique commitment with our freedom.”

The death of an illegal immigrant inside a Texas detention camp is likely going to be ruled a homicide after a medical examiner determined his cause of death was asphyxia.

A fellow inmate claimed he witnessed Campos being choked to death by guards inside the facility, and a new report by The Washington Post states that allegation has now been supported by the medical examiner's findings.

An employee from El Paso County's Office of the Medical Examiner allegedly told Campos's daughter that his death will likely be formally classified as a homicide.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the death of detainee Gerald Lunas Campos on January 3 in a short statement claiming staff 'observed him in distress.'

Dwa miesiące przed zmianą nazwy na „Meta” dyrektor generalny Facebooka Mark Zuckerberg osobiście przedstawił nam swoją metawersję do pracy: Horizon Workrooms, pomyślaną jako wirtualna przestrzeń do współpracy. Dzisiaj firma ogłosiła, że zamyka tę przestrzeń: „Meta podjęła decyzję o zaprzestaniu działania Workrooms jako samodzielnej aplikacji ze skutkiem od 16 lutego 2026 r.” – czytamy w notatce umieszczonej na stronie pomocy.

Meta nie będzie już również sprzedawać swoich zestawów słuchawkowych i oprogramowania jako usługi dla firm. Na innej stronie pomocy czytamy: „Z dniem 20 lutego 2026 r. zaprzestajemy sprzedaży usług zarządzanych Meta Horizon oraz komercyjnych produktów Meta Quest”.

Meta właśnie zwolniła około 10 procent całego działu Reality Labs, czyli ponad 1000 pracowników. W rezultacie staje się coraz bardziej oczywiste, że Zuckerberg zmienił zdanie na temat tego, co właściwie oznacza słowo „metaverse”. (...)

Yesterday, Congress passed a bill that is so immoral, so corrupt, so plainly colonial, that it should end political careers. And it only passed because Democrats made it pass.

Let me say that again: Republicans did not have the votes to do this by themselves. It took Democratic votes — 153 Democrats — to drag this across the finish line.

And one of those “yes” votes belongs to a woman who has become a national darling, a rising star, a Democratic celebrity: Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

The House passed H.R. 7006 — a bill that, in plain English, does two things at once:

It rushes billions of dollars in weapons money to Israel (in addition to the hundreds of billions of OUR MONEY already sent there) and then it punishes Palestinians and blocks accountability for Israel’s crimes.

That’s not “balance.” That’s not “security.” That’s not “peace.” That’s complicity.

The roll call is public. The vote was 341–79.

Republicans voted 188 yes and 22 no.

Democrats voted 153 yes and 57 no.

That means Democrats didn’t just “help.” They supplied the margin. They made it pass. They made it law.

My country heavily uses Facebook for all events. Sadly I can't find cool events without it. Even leftist groups are heavily on Meta, which I can't understand....

Does anyone have experience pushing to get communities off of Meta? Suggestions?
