Los Angeles Stands up to ICE
"On June 3, a crowd drove federal agents out of Minneapolis following a raid on a taqueria. On June 4, people confronted US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as they carried out raids in Chicago and Grand Rapids. On Friday, June 6, people in Los Angeles responded to an ICE raid, precipitating a full day of clashes that continue today. In the following firsthand report, participants describe how people came together to do their best to prevent federal agents from kidnapping people from their community."

Protesters are chasing federal agents out of L.A. County hotels: ‘A small victory’

“When they were kicked out of the hotel, everybody was excited,” he said. “It was a small victory, but our efforts made a difference. We need to be together to protect our community, to protect our workers." '

Jay Kuo offers several possible explanations for why the ostensibly war-shy Trump is toying with the idea of conflict with Iran:
1. Trump was never for peace to begin with.
2. His obsession with Fox News is a big driving factor behind his push toward open war with Iran.
3. Things aren’t going well for Trump at home, so he's employing a "Look over there!" strategy to divert attention.

Getting this artifact going was one of the more complex technology-related projects I've ever attempted, particularly since I knew virtually nothing about pianos to speak of before I started. It's a long saga that I won't trouble you with right now.
This media playback device is now a century old. I'm frequently asked about that big bellows on the left. That is actually a mechanism to keep the paper roll aligned across the playback bar as the paper tends to drift. Watch closely and you can see it making continuous adjustments. Small tabs on either side of the roll send signals to the bellows that then adjusts the playback position in real time. 100 years ago. Amazing tech. The device functions entirely by suction. It has no electronic components. I modified the device to operate from suction from a shop type vacuum cleaner, since using the pedals is ... tiring.

– In a new brutal crime and a stark expression of its genocidal war, the Zionist occupation committed a horrific massacre this morning by targeting crowds of besieged civilians waiting for aid east of Khan Yunis. This massacre resulted in the deaths of more than 50 martyrs and the injury of more than 200 others, a scene that has become repeated daily amidst complete international silence and blatant complicity.
– This massacre is part of a systematic mass killing of our people in Gaza, which the occupation is exploiting under the cover of the US-Zionist war of aggression against Iran, in parallel with a deliberate media blackout aimed at obscuring its ongoing crimes against our Palestinian people.
The so-called “aid companies” and their fake security fronts have become tools of organized mass murder, used to round up besieged, starving civilians under promises of humanitarian aid, then turn them into direct targets for the occupation’s fire. It is a calculated killing mechanism operated under a false humanitarian cover, and it must be exposed and confronted by all means.
The Front calls on the free people of the world, free voices, and anti-colonial movements to take urgent action to break the silence, stop this comprehensive war against our people, and confront the enemy’s policies of using aid as a tool to kill the starving.

It's too early to draw any conclusions. Take it from Mat Piscatella, who's forgotten more about video game market research than I ever learned myself.
Hardware launches are not like game releases, anyway. It's the establishment of a new product market, and early game releases on consoles have an ebb and flow to them that later blockbusters do not. It's about building growth, not first-week sales.
conventional wisdom does not apply
All the more reason why it's far too early to draw any conclusions.
