His involvement in the early days of SpaceX included:

• Advising on Russian Rockets: Musk approached Cantrell in 2001 for help purchasing Russian ICBMs for a planned Mars mission, acting as an expert consultant.
• Mentoring and Education: Cantrell helped educate Musk on rocket science and industry players, famously lending him textbooks that Musk reportedly never returned.
• Forming the Initial Team: Cantrell was on the founding team and helped establish the company, often described as a mentor to Musk in the early days.
• The "Pivot" to In-House Production:

Cantrell left in 2002 because he did not share Musk's intense, long-term passion for colonizing Mars at the time. He currently leads Phantom Space Corporation.

Amazon: Stop Powering ICE’s Deportation Machine

Amazon Web Services is a prime driver of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) incarceration and deportation

regime by providing ICE with a host of data storage services. Along with other major tech corporations, Amazon has built a

revolving door with the US government to entrench Silicon Valley's role in expanding the acceleration of ICE's surveillance,

data accumulation, arrest, imprisonment, and deportation of immigrants. ICE cannot wage its war against immigrants

without the critical infrastructure support provided by tech corporations like Amazon.

How does Amazon fuel mass deportation?

The Amazon Cloud: DHS relies heavily on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its primary cloud storage. In fact, Amazon has

evolved from being a one-stop shop for consumers to the biggest broker of cloud storage space on the planet. By using

AWS cloud storage services, DHS is able to store, sort, and share huge amounts of information used to target immigrants

in its growing tech enforcement portfolio. AWS’s cloud service allows ICE and DHS to:

● Collect, store, and organize a massive repository of information on immigrants, their friends and family: ICE

purchases and collects unprecedented amounts of information on immigrants and the people connected with them.

This includes biometric (facial, iris, etc.) and personally identifiable information collected by ICE and CBP officers,

DMV data, license plate and other tracking data, utility bills, business and property data, healthcare provider

information, cell phone records, location tracking social media accounts, and much more.

● Scour Regional, Local, State, and Federal Databases to build profiles to surveil, track, and ultimately deportimmigrants: The Trump administration’s prioritization of targeting immigrants en masse has accelerated ICE’s acquisition of massive amounts of data and spurred on the enlistment of tech companies to develop solutions for

data accumulation and analysis...

● Undermine Sanctuary City policies through unprecedented data sharing among all levels of law enforcement...

Amazon gets richer from ICE's deportation machine by:

● Further entrenching the "cloud industrial complex" — a lucrative public-private partnership between industry

lobbyists, key federal legislators, tech executives, and former tech-executives-turned-government officials and vice

versa...

● Supporting the development of systems that allow the US government to target and punish en masse those which

the Trump Administration has deemed "undesirable—immigrants...

This is why we're targeting Amazon

It’s time to hold Amazon accountable for its outsized share in building the deportation machine, and demand that they stop. It won’t be easy—Amazon makes billions from these contracts...

We can force Amazon to stop helping DHS and ICE target immigrants if enough of us call them out, stay engaged, and keep the pressure on. For more info & the report Who’s Behind ICE: Tech Companies Fueling Deportation

🤡🦸‍♀️🦸🦸‍♂️🦹‍♀️🥷👽🧚‍♀️🦄🧛‍♀️☢️🧟🎸🗿"Dum - dum!" PROTEST!📢🍁

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

PROTEST - PROTESTING:

- Google Search -

🔹AI Overview

Protest is a formal declaration, statement, or gesture of objection, disapproval, or dissent against policies, actions, or, in some contexts, to affirm a position. Protesting, or demonstrating, is the act of engaging in such public expression to influence opinion or policy.

Key Aspects of Protesting

• Definition: It is a public act of objection, ranging from individual statements to mass demonstrations, aimed at challenging social, economic, or political issues.
• Purpose: Protests are organized to raise awareness, influence public opinion, or pressure authorities to change policies.
• Legal Protections (Canada): The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees freedoms of opinion, expression, and peaceful assembly.
• Limitations: Rights are not absolute; they do not protect violence, destruction of property, or illegal activities.
• Locations: Legally, protests often occur on public sidewalks, in parks, or outside government buildings, provided they do not block access or create undue safety risks

Wikipedia:

Protesting often involves collective action, such as marches, rallies, or demonstrations, and can sometimes be categorized as civil resistance or nonviolent resistance when part of a sustained campaign.

PROTESTS:

The right of the people to peacefully assemble is in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The framers of the Constitution didn't place the right to peaceably assemble further down the list of rights because it is not a privilege granted by the government, nor is the right to petition the government for the redress of grievances. The text of the First Amendment is below:

First Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Protests are held worldwide, often to the disappointment or irritation of a government. The gathering of people to show their disapproval of a government action is "bad optics" for the regime.

Recent protests in France over disputes between unions and management have drawn remarkable crowds and shut down the entire nation for days, until the disputes were resolved. Another protest against the French government's action to increase the minimum retirement age by two years brought forth seas of protestors throughout France. Some protestors in Paris became violent and destroyed property, going so far as to set fire to the occupied home of a government official!

Massive daily protests have successfully brought down governments whose officials did not serve the people first.

Protests are a gathering of people, almost always dissatisfied with a government action. Frequently, the government shows its displeasure by shooting a water cannon into the crowd, releasing chemical irritants, beating the protestors with clubs or batons, and dragging some off to arrest. Be careful if you're in a protest, and be prepared for opposition.

China warns ‘flames of war’ spreading and calls on US to help manage differences ahead of Xi-Trump meeting

Beijing/Hong Kong

— China’s top diplomat cast his country as a defender of peace and stability as war in Iran rages, while striking a conciliatory tone towards the United States ahead of a highly anticipated summit between the two nation’s leaders.

“This was a war that should never have happened, and a war that benefited no one,” Wang Yi, China’s foreign minister, said at a Sunday news briefing on the sidelines of the annual assembly of China’s rubber-stamp legislature. Wang, touting China as “the world’s most important force of peace, stability and justice,” reiterated Beijing’s call for an immediate ceasefire to “prevent the situation from escalating and avoid the spillover and spread of the flames of war.”

“All parties should return to the negotiating table as soon as possible and resolve their differences through equal dialogue,” he added...

After Iran and Venezuela, Kim Jong Un must decide how to handle Trump

Last weekend, North Korean state media condemned the United States and Israel for launching a “war of aggression” against Iran, but did not report the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with dozens of members of Iran’s top leadership.

That omission was not accidental. North Korea’s political system is built around the near-mythic authority and invulnerability of its leader. Publicly broadcasting the violent removal of another supreme leader would introduce a dangerous precedent. It would remind North Korean citizens that even the most powerful figure in a tightly controlled state can be tracked, targeted and eliminated. That is not a narrative Pyongyang has any incentive to circulate at home.

Indeed, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un may be asking himself if the time has come to pick up the phone and call US President Donald Trump. As the US and Israel press on with their military campaign that plunged the Middle East into crisis, Kim and his small circle of party and military officials who oversee national security are undoubtedly analyzing every aspect of the US military operation. And they are certainly taking note of Trump’s ability to pivot quickly from diplomacy to force. Trump is expected back in Asia later this month for a summit with China’s Xi Jinping...

Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent. But they have to prove it

Bill C-3, which came into effect Dec. 15, removes first-generation limit for citizenship

Amid rising tensions in the United States, many Americans are looking to Canada — and their roots — for a possible way out. Lynn Rutman, a Cape Cod, Mass., resident with family ties to Quebec and Nova Scotia dating back centuries, said she’s worried about the political situation in her country, citing recent events surrounding controversial immigration enforcement policies and long-standing ideological divides.

“It's not just me, many of us are concerned,” she said.

She’s now one of thousands who have begun the process of applying for proof of Canadian citizenship following recent changes to Canada’s citizenship rules. Prior to Bill C-3, An Act to Amend the Citizenship Act (2025), citizenship by descent for those born abroad was limited to the first generation.

But now, Canadian citizenship is being retroactively granted to people born before the new law came into effect on Dec. 15, 2025, who would have been citizens if not for the first-generation limit. “We feel like we want that Plan B so that we know we have a place to go in the event that things get even worse here,” Rutman said, “which you know, you see it's getting worse by the day.” ...

Northern Manitoba mobile MRI unit parked in Thompson, struggling to keep staff, associations say

Snag in requests for proposals process has kept facility from heading to The Pas, provincial spokesperson says

A mobile MRI unit intended to serve patients in two northern Manitoba communities has been parked in Thompson and is struggling to retain staff, according to two associations representing technologists in the province. The provincial government launched the mobile MRI unit in Thompson last June, with plans for it to rotate between that northern city and The Pas — about 300 kilometres to the southwest — later in 2025.

Trump signals he will escalate war with Iran as Tehran mulls new US targets

The latest signs of escalation come after Iran’s president apologized to Gulf neighbors for recent strikes.

• Trump’s warning: US President Donald Trump says Iran “will be hit very hard” today, with new areas of the country under consideration for “complete destruction and certain death.” Tehran is looking for new US assets to strike in response, a senior Iranian official told CNN.

• Iranian president’s apology: The latest signs of escalation came shortly after Masoud Pezeshkian apologized for strikes on neighboring Gulf states. But the Iranian president said Tehran would still target areas where US attacks originated, and it’s unclear if his statements align with the goals of the country’s armed forces and powerful Revolutionary Guard.

Ukraine’s counter-drone expertise has been hard won. War in the Middle East may reveal its silver lining

As Iran unleashes a wave of retaliatory drones strikes on critical infrastructure around the Persian Gulf, Ukrainian expertise in countering those drones appears to be in demand.

Days into the war with Iran, the Trump administration has identified Tehran’s arsenal of Shahed one-way attack drones as a serious military challenge. In a closed-door briefing earlier this week on Capitol Hill, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine acknowledged that the relatively cheap and low-flying drones, which can saturate and overwhelm air defenses, have been a bigger problem than anticipated, according to two sources that were present.

It’s a military challenge the Ukrainians have become intimately familiar with four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion. Cities around Ukraine are routinely bombarded by a combination of drones and missiles, sometimes hundreds in one night. But even as Moscow continues its bid to break Ukrainian resolve by targeting power generating facilities and the energy grid, officials in Kyiv are signaling that they can share their know-how on combating drones with states in the Middle East...

Democrats see new openings for House wins in Trump country after first midterm races

Jamie Ager acknowledged that his path to flipping his western North Carolina seat involves what he called “difficult math.” Democrats haven’t represented the state’s 11th District in more than a decade, and President Donald Trump carried the seat by 10 points in 2024 under its current district lines.

BELIEVING is the candle that guides us out of the darkness into the light of HOPE!

But Ager, a fourth-generation farmer who won the Democratic primary Tuesday, is hoping his deep ties to the community will help overcome his party’s reputation. “Because I know so many people in the community, I’ve been a good business partner to a lot of folks, people see me less in the context of political partisanship, and more in the context of a friend, a neighbor, community member,” Ager said...

For months, investors and analysts have kept a close eye on the shadowy corner of finance known as private credit, where alarm bells have stoked fears of a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. Whether those alarms amount to a handful of isolated bad bets or a more menacing systemic weakness in the $1.8 trillion sector is far from clear. But if the latter is even a remote possibility, it’s worth understanding what the heck is going on.

The fight for control of the US Senate is now officially underway after primaries in Texas and North Carolina delivered the first clues for Democrats and Republicans as they prepare for an eight-month march to the November midterm elections.

In the North Carolina primary, Democratic former Gov. Roy Cooper easily clinched the Senate nomination, receiving more than 750,000 votes — compared with about 625,000 for the entire GOP field.
