Other than Constantinople, it has lots of other historic castles. They may not be to scale, but nothing is in total war. And some of these castles are huge! Making architecture sets in this game is an incredibly arduous and painful process, you basically have to import every non buildable building by hand into a milkshake file, the copy them and do that again. I have immense respect for the people who do that. The eur lort mod is also amazing, I think it is the mod with the most different units. And runs better in my opinion than the other lort mod, despite the fact that the guy behind that also runs eop.

People fuck children. The US has a president who intimately knows a lot of people who literally fuck children. Fucking children is socially acceptable right now if you are part of the right circle. But there are also a lot of people who fuck children without knowing the US president or the (conveniently deceased) Jeffrey Epstein. They arenât in that circle and for them, itâs not socially acceptable to fuck children. Yet they still do it. When the human sex drive is opposed by social norms, usually the sex drive wins one way or the other. Most people with forbidden fetishes are able to satisfy the drive without actually using the real thing. But there were always some for whom that didnât work. I am pretty sure, slave owners were able to come up with some excuse for fucking their slaves after their horniness raised high enough over the years. And when post-nut clarity set in, they confessed to a priest and were forgiven by god - so it was all fine anyway.

The Meteorological Agency reported that Accra recorded 333 millimeters of rain in June. On Tuesday, the National Fire Service (GNFS) reported that at least twelve people died and 479 were rescued in Accra after three days of torrential rains, which caused flooding. RELATED: Ghana Repatriates Citizens Amid South Africa Xenophobic Violence Emergency units evacuated residents trapped in affected areas, while homes, businesses, and vehicles suffered severe damage.

Dinosaurs like tyrannosaurs and velociraptors famously walked on two legs. But they werenât the only bipedal prehistoric creatures to exist. In a study published in June, paleontologists shared the discovery of a new bipedal shuvosaurid, an ancient, distant relative of crocodiles, that lived 212 million years ago in what is now the U.S. state of New Mexico. Unlike modern-day crocs, the newly described Labrujasuchus expectatus was beaked, toothless, had two tiny arms, and walked on two legs. Researchers found fossilized bones of L. expectatus alongside those of bipedal dinosaurs at the Hayden Quarry at the Ghost Ranch site, famous for its well-preserved fossils. They were found in sediments dated to the Late Triassic period. The generic name of the species Labrujasuchus comes from âRanchos de los Brujos,â or Ranch of the Witches, an old Spanish name for the Ghost Ranch area. The Greek word ΣοῊÏÎżÏ (suchus) means crocodile. The species name expectatus references the idea that researchers expected to find a shuvosaurid fossil at the Hayden Quarry. In an email interview with Mongabay, Nathan Smith, study co-author, paleontologist and director of the Dinosaur Institute, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, U.S., said the first shuvosaurid described, which was originally misclassified as a dinosaur, was named Shuvosaurus inexpectatus, as a way to point out that such a bizarre-looking creature was not âexpectedâ in Late Triassic rocks. âSo, the âexpectatusâ name is a cheeky nod to the original Shuvosaurus discovery, and the fact that we definitely expected to come across someâŠThis article was originally published on Mongabay From Conservation news via This RSS Feed.

Most legal experts thought that this Trump order to take birthright citizenship away from undocumented immigrants was too radical for even this Court. But the margin was ultimately very thin. Kavanaugh concurred with the judgment only insofar as he thinks the executive order violates a law (that Congress could change). He wrote that the order did not violate the 14th Amendment. So the split in terms of the finding that curtailing birthright citizenship violates the Constitution is a bare 5-4.

The goalkeeper Manuel Neuer definitively announced his retirement from the German national team this Tuesday, following their elimination by Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16. The revered goalkeeper confirmed his departure from the German national team after their unexpected exit from the World Cup 2026. The formal announcement follows a tense penalty shootout in the pivotal match against Paraguay, which now stands as his final official appearance for the German squad. RELATED: Paraguay Makes History, Reaches Round of 16 for First Time After Eliminating Germany Neuerâs retirement from international football was a highly anticipated, yet still impactful, event. His path to this definitive decision involved a previous declaration in August 2024, when he initially stated his intention to step down after the Euro Cup. However, following a direct request from then-coach Julian Nagelsmann, the veteran goalkeeper reversed his stance to participate in the World Cup 2026. A LEGEND RETIRES. Manuel Neuer has called time on his Germany career. 128 caps 50 clean sheets 123 goals conceded 23 World Cup matches â the most ever by a goalkeeper Golden Glove winner 2014 World Champion He played in FIVE World Cups⊠and lifted⊠pic.twitter.com/OcBrmL7AkE â FIFA World Cup Stats (@alimo_philip) June 30, 2026 Prior to the commencement of the current tournament, Neuer had explicitly stated that this edition would unequivocally represent his final farewell to international competition, underscoring the finality of current announcement. During the 2026 World Cup in which Germany participated, Neuer etched his name further into the history books by becoming the goalkeeper with the most matches played in the tournamentâs history, surpassing 23 appearances. Cezayir karĆısında 59 kez topla buluĆtu, bunların tam 21âi ceza sahası dıĆındaydı 12 yıl önce bugĂŒn: Manuel Neuer, kaleciliÄin tanımını deÄiĆtirdi. pic.twitter.com/qQ3HN7a3iN â De Marke Sports (@demarkesports) June 30, 2026 End of an Era This remarkable achievement, however, was accompanied by a less favorable statistic: after conceding a goal against Paraguay, Neuer equaled a historic mark of ten consecutive matches in World Cups receiving at least one goal. This record was previously held solely by Mexican goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal, who achieved it between the 1950 and 1962 editions of the tournament. The 40-year-old shot-stopper leaves behind a complex legacy of unparalleled individual brilliance intertwined with collective team challenges. The departure of Manuel Neuer, a player who has been a cornerstone of the German national team for over a decade, now initiates a formal transition process for the German football federation. Tasked with finding a suitable successor for the iconic goalkeeper, the federation faces the significant challenge of filling a void left by a player renowned for his revolutionary sweeper-keeper style and consistent world-class performances. Neuerâs retirement marks the end of an era for German football, paving the way for a new generation to emerge while his contributions remain indelibly etched in the annals of the sport.

Nowhere is ICEâs true nature as a weapon of class warfare and a vehicle for ethnic cleansing more obvious than at the Delaney Hall concentration camp, which has put Newark, New Jerseyâs mostly immigrant and working-class Ironbound neighborhood on the frontline of Trumpâs mass deportation campaign. Protests outside the facility have been near-constant. But the greatest wave started on May 22 as a result of the groundbreaking hunger and labor strike by the men and women within the facilityâbringing with it the harshest crackdown by the repressive forces of the state. The Long Siege of Delaney Hall Delaney Hall opened like a slap in the face on May 1st, 2025. GEO Group (the contractors charged with running the facility) and ICE began operations without having passed a single building or safety inspection, and they immediately began to fill up their newest concentration campâthe largest of its kind on the East Coast. That same day, New Jersey DSA marched through Newark alongside immigrantsâ rights-based community organizations like Movimiento Cosecha, New Labor, and Resistencia. That May Day march was billed as a âWorkersâ Memorial Day,â honoring the working people who had already lost their lives to ICE. Although we certainly dreaded the possibility, we did not know how many more losses weâd have to grieve by the same time this year. Since its opening, there have been multiple flareups of protest against Delaney Hall. On May 9, 2025, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka attempted to inspect the newly renovated facility, accompanied by Representatives Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez, Jr. All were denied access despite their constitutional authority to inspect any federal facility at any time. ICE agents then kidnapped Baraka, effectively holding him hostage through the following night. Rep. McIver still faces spurious assault charges from her attempt to enter the building. Barely a month later, frustrations with the failure to provide adequate food boiled over, leading to an uprising by detainees. In the commotion, four men escaped through a shoddily constructed wall. This prison break and the protests that followed drew Senator Andy Kim to Delaney Hall for the first time. Also for the first time, Sen. Kim and Rep. Menendez were allowed to enter for a limited inspection. In the aftermath, ICE demonstrated its willingness to use transfers to other facilities as a means to break immigrant resistance. These punitive transfers triggered an intense wave of protests as some tried to block the buses from carrying ICEâs victims off to the Moshannon concentration camp in Pennsylvania and detention centers as far away as Texas. During Delaney Hallâs first winter, ICE admitted to the death of a detainee in their custody: Haitian immigrant Jean Wilson Brutus, age 41. They offered little to no explanation for Brutusâs death beyond a âmedical emergency,â which sparked outrage. Somber crowds came to mourn the senseless loss of life, demonstrating that a large number of people in our communities were willing to turn out to resist ICE even in the below-freezing temperatures of the dead of winter. Over the course of the year, several community organizations and immigrantsâ rights groups coalesced to keep up the pressure at the facility. Two overlapping coalitionsâEyes on ICE, and Labor Eyes on ICEâformed. The former focused on mutual aid; providing food, clothing, and connection to services. The 24/7 Eyes on ICE âRadical Hospitalityâ tent became a space for rest and solace for the visiting families of detainees. Labor Eyes on ICE brought together several unions in northern New Jersey to take shifts during the 24/7 vigil and to conduct regular weekly pickets outside the campâs gates. This all marked the near-constant presence of protestors. Thatâs where things stood when Delaney Hallâs prisoners announced a hunger and labor strike on May 22, 2026. An Inside Outside Strategy Word of the strike first reached the community through the families of striking detainees. Gabriela Soto, the wife of Martin Soto, called for those on the outside to bring greater numbers out to the facility in solidarity. NJDSAâs statewide Immigration Justice Working Group (IJWG) immediately mobilized for an all-hands-on-deck situation. It did not take long for ICE and GEO to cancel visitations. This was almost always the first punitive measure ICE turned to against detainees and those who fought for their freedom. By denying detainees access to their families and lawyers, they also deprived them of their most direct line of communication with the outside world. Throughout the strike, however, detainees still managed to get out four letters describing the conditions they faced and the demands of their strike. The first two letters describe harrowing conditions where âpeople with mental health issues, physical disabilities such as deaf and non-verbal, elderly individuals, and young people with juvenile statusâ are indiscriminately confined in close quarters. Flu is a âconstant problem,â and detainees are âtortured physically and psychologically due to the poor food resources provided.â The strikers demanded freedom for all residents of Delaney Hall, prioritizing the immediate release of the young, the pregnant, the sick, and the elderly. They also demanded a meeting with Governor Mikie Sherrill to discuss their conditions. When Sherrill tried to tour the facility, ICE denied her entry, asserting that they were only legally required to offer access to federal elected officials. Increasingly large crowds gathered outside Delaney Hall in the following days. We chanted to make sure those imprisoned inside knew we were with them. They responded in all the ways they could; pressing themselves against windows so their silhouettes could be seen, flipping lights on and off quickly, raising their fists and waving their hands. It was a beautiful display of solidarity. By Memorial Day Weekend, a rhythm had taken shape between ICE and protestors. At the North Gate, things remained relatively calm. Eyes on ICEâs mutual aid tent provided a place of respite for families awaiting the release of detainees. There were children, wives, relatives, volunteers with immigrant rights organizations, and people involved in their legal support and defense. GEOâs staff also came and left through the North Gate, meaning the driveway had to be regularly cleared. At the South Gate, ICE agents remained in a semipermanent standoff with a larger crowd of protestors. ICE agents often pushed people into the crowd as large trucks passed byâone can only assume that this tactic was meant to either indirectly kill protestors or to use that possibility as a means of intimidation. The night usually ended when ICE agents deployed pepper spray and tear gas to disperse the crowds, already dwindling due to the late hour. These attacks became more aggressive as the protests continued. A protesterâs foot was crushed under the wheel of a truck on the night of May 27 after having been pushed by an officer. The next night, ICE pepper-sprayed the crowd at the South Gate multiple times before the sun had set, a sign that their patience was wearing thin. As ICE escalated its dispersal tactics outside the facility, it also grew more brutal and depraved in its attempts to break the strike within. In their fourth letter, the strikers wrote that GEO staff threatened to deport the strikers, transfer them to âpunishment units,â and begin moving them to other facilities. Martin Soto, whom ICE claimed was the strikeâs âleader,â was transferred to the Elizabeth Detention Center (EDC) under the cover of tear gas, nearly blinding Sen. Andy Kim as he tried to broker a deal between protestors and ICE. The second strike letter reported that agents indiscriminately launched tear gas inside the facility against detainees, beat strikers in their cells, and denied them access to common and outdoor areas. Mikie Sherrill Reports for Duty The New Jersey State Police (NJSP) arrived on the night of Friday, May 29, Governor Sherrillâs most forceful intervention in the conflict yet. As events unfolded, public statements by the Governor, and Attorney-General Jennifer Davenport, seemed to emerge from a parallel universe of the administrationâs own making, disconnected from the all-out assault the NJSP launched against protestors over the following days. Ostensibly ordered to create âpeaceful protest zonesâ in preparation for the arrival of pro-ICE demonstrators on Saturday morning, the NJSP set up a web of grated metal barriers outside the facility, also closing off roads. Towards the end of the night, NJSP deployed dozens of state troopers on horseback, in full riot gear and armed with tear gas, pepper spray, batons, and rubber bullets. The police shot indiscriminately into the crowd. Sherrill still has not attempted to justify this level of violence, which was repeated every night that weekend. The next day, a vanishingly small crowd of Republican Party agitators set up in a âprotest zoneâ towards the south end of Delaney Hall. This crowd included a strange gaggle of Proud Boys; ironically, the only boy among them was a young child, who the mostly middle-aged white nationalists firmly planted in front of themselves like a human shield. Where ICE agents had âheld the lineâ outside the south gate at Delaney Hall, there were now barriers erected by NJSP. Behind them stood a combination of State Troopers and Essex County Sheriffâs deputies. Even as she publicly repudiated private detention facilities, Sherrillâs forces had taken up the role of security for Trumpâs ICE agents. Tensions remained high throughout the day as State Troopers made ostentatious displays of power during shift changes. In the afternoon, they kettled protestors without warning or explanation. Police took up a position on top of the medical staging area, and stayed there just long enough to watch medics and others scramble to pick up all their supplies and move them in a panic. Almost as soon as they did so, the State Troopers retreated back to their original position, leaving behind a mess of medical supplies and inflamed tempers. This reflected a disturbing pattern from the NSJP of targeting medics, and a growing number could show us their bruises from rubber bullets. Meanwhile, as the Sun began to set, more and more horse transports for mounted State Troopers pulled into their staging area in preparation for another assault. A reporterâs arm was broken during that eveningâs brutality. NJSP and Mayor Barakaâs Newark Police Department declared a curfew on May 30 within the half-mile radius around Delaney Hall, and the NPD joined the NJSP in dispersing protestors. Governor Sherrill and Attorney-General Davenport could only muster pathetic defenses of their new roles as Quislings for the Trump administrationâs deportation machine. The former fell back on tired old lines about âout-of-state agitatorsâ and insisted that the protests overall remained peaceful, without acknowledging that State Police had launched a continued and unprovoked assault on protestors. Davenportâs public statement even suggested that tear gas canisters had magically appeared at the feet of protestors to be kicked at police. Rather than âturn down the temperatureââSherrillâs stated goalâthe protests did not subside, and the crowds were angrier than ever. Mayor Baraka, although he had collaborated in the declaration and enforcement of the curfew, publicly criticized the brutality of the NJSP, even going as far as to compare their tactics to ICE. Journalists who had been attacked and arrested by the NJSP were released. Mayor Baraka lifted the curfew around Delaney Hall on June 3. Newark Police maintained a presence over the next few days, but, according to the Mayor, they were under orders to use âcommunity policing tacticsâ to de-escalate the situation rather than obstruct protestors. This belied the fact that for at least a day NPD turned away anyone arriving to the area with a face covering of any kind, whether it be an N-95 or a keffiyeh. Things came to a head on June 7 when protestors attempted to block GEO Group employeesâ cars while they were leaving at the end of their shifts, and officers made an arrest. In a public statement on the matter, Mayor Baraka admitted that âsome officers were over aggressive.â Soon after this the NPD presence began to dwindle down to the minimal levels seen prior to the strike.Things have returned to the status quo ante of a daily standoff between protestors along Doremus Avenue, and ICE agents and GEO Group staff at their gates. With it, the reckless violence and attempts at vehicular manslaughter by agents has returned. With Friends Like These Gov. Sherrillâs first instinct was to sic the NJSP on protestors until they dispersed. Many Democratsâ first statements rarely if ever foregrounded the hunger and labor strike, and instead trotted out stereotypes of peaceful protests infiltrated by outside agitators. Never mind that in every instance ICE initiated the violence against protestors. Never mind that Sherrillâs deployment of NJSP blatantly violated the Immigrant Trust Directive, which strictly prohibits any coordination or cooperation between state and local authorities and federal agencies carrying out immigration enforcement. For moderates like Sherrill, the Democrats are part of the âParty of Order,â same as the Republicans. All the lies and hypocrisies, and the violent repression, were justified in the pursuit of âpeace:â one that can only be described in the terms of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr in his Letter from Birmingham Jail: a ânegative peace, which is the absence of tension,â and not a âpositive peace which is the presence of justice.â If the NJSPâs intervention was designed to make Sherrillâs perceived political problems go away, the sheer scale of the violence only brought down more pressure on her administration. In response, Sherrill turned to a second instinct: opportunism. Facing a cascade of criticisms from progressive groups claiming she âfailedâ her first test as governor, Sherrill gave a $12 million funding boost to New Jerseyâs Detention Deportation Defense Initiative (DDDI), sued ICE for not permitting NJ Department of Health officials to inspect, and was ultimately granted a limited tour of the facility. Sherrill continues to insist that her and her administrationâs position is that Delaney Hall must be shut down. The strike and protests at Delaney Hall made it impossible for NJ and NY Democrats to avoid the issue. Josh Gottheimer, one of the most conservative members of the Democratic Caucus, felt the need to appear alongside Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Reps McIver and Menendez on an oversight visit. Even Cory Booker found it in himself to overcome his allergy to being seen in his hometown of Newark, and joined to visit. Representative Dan Goldman (who just lost his own primary to Brad Lander) accompanied retiring Representative Jerry Nadler on a trip to the facility the same day Adriano Espaillat (who also just lost a primary to DSA member Darializa Avila Chevalier) made the journey to Delaney Hall. Most of the Democrats who visited Delaney Hall and called for its closure fell short of calling for the abolition of ICE. Some of these Democrats have even voted with Republicans on immigration bills, like Rep. Gottheimer, and Gov. Sherrill while she was still in the House. Support for half-measures is unsurprising; it also makes no real sense. As the strikers laid out in their letters, shutting down the facility without freeing those inside is meaningless. It would simply mean the transfer of interned immigrants to other facilities with the same exact inhumane conditions and abuses. All ICE detention centers share Delaney Hallâs inhospitable living conditions, and must all be shut down, and their detainees released. Long Live the Strike! Over 300 detainees signed the âS.O.S.â letter declaring themselves a part of the hunger and labor strike. On May 27 Gabriela Soto told the AP that âevery single detainee insideâŠis participating.â At their peak the protests on Doremus Avenue made it more difficult for ICE to punitively transfer strikers, and ICE even released a number of striking detainees back to their families, including an 18-year-old high school student. The State Troopersâ deployment disorganized the protests, however, keeping large crowds away. And when the NJSP left, so too did many reporters. Punitive transfers were carried out unimpeded as numbers dwindled throughout the month. Through these transfers, the targeted use of solitary confinement, and through sheer brutality, Eyes on ICE reported on June 22 that the strike had been broken. Yet this does not mean that ICE has won an indisputable victory. There are still hundreds imprisoned in a concentration camp under unimaginable conditions. But the strike demonstrated the incredible power of collective resistance, and both those who participated in it and those who mobilized in solidarity have gained invaluable experience. It is now necessary to step back and survey the strategic landscape of the struggle against the mass deportation machine in New Jersey and across the country. Where do the forces involved now stand? What new fronts may be opened? Where will the next flashpoint be? What lessons must be learned for next time? The conditions which sparked the strike at Delaney Hall are by no means unique; 52 people have died in ICE custody since 2024, killed by criminal neglect and abuse. This result is inevitable when Trump and his personal Reinhard Heydrich, Stephen Miller, set absurd deportation goals in pursuit of plans to redefine American citizenship and remove a large part of the working class from the country. On May 19, 3 days before Delaney Hallâs strike began, another hunger strike was called at a concentration camp in Adelanto, California. There, too, solitary confinement, the threat of immediate deportation, and punitive transfers have been used to punish and isolate strikers. These repressive measures have not impeded the outbreak of strikes, and transfers to other facilities may very well spread the know-how and will-power of experienced strikers throughout the concentration camp system. The ACLU confirmed on June 11 that strikes have broken out at three other ICE camps in El Paso, Texas, Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and Baldwin, Michigan. Conditions are ripe for detainee resistance to spread like wildfire; but they will not be able to win their demands without community support. As the detainees themselves argued, their imprisonment is intrinsically wrong. They have been denied due process, arrested while pursuing legal paths to residency and citizenship, and are subjected to conditions no human deserves to live in. This is all for what is, at worst, a civil infraction. There is no choice but to unceasingly fight for the closure of every one of ICEâs concentration camps, the prosecution of those who run them, and the dismantling of the whole deportation machine. âAbolish ICEâ is the only battle cry for the resistance to the Trump regime.
