#^Grandma "Kidnapped" by US Marshals (BODYCAM)

In the blink of an eye, a peaceful day of yardwork for Penny McCarthy turned into a nightmare.

She was on her driveway in Phoenix, Arizona, in a sleeveless shirt, shorts, and slippers, when a team of United States Marshals pulled up in unmarked vehicles and aimed firearms at her. Penny—who is a 67-year-old grandmother—was clearly at their mercy. And yet, the officers threatened to “hit” her, frisked her, placed her in handcuffs and ankle shackles, and drove her away from home.

The officers did not so much as check Penny’s driver’s license or run any other basic checks on her identity before violently arresting her.

Le réseau information jeunesse Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes est officiellement à la ramasse concernant l'IA #IJ #InformationJeunesse #IA

Rencontres Régionales Info-Jeunes Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes :
IA… de nouveaux enjeux pour l’information jeunesse

Les 5 & 6 juin prochains, les professionnel·les de l’information jeunesse se retrouveront à Ardes-sur-Couze pour deux jours de réflexion et d’échanges, aux côtés du Service Départemental Jeunesse, Éducation Populaire et Sport du Puy-de-Dôme (63).

Cette édition mettra l’accent sur les axes de réflexion suivants :
- Démystifier l’IA et favoriser son appropriation :
Mieux comprendre les mécanismes et les usages de l’IA pour en avoir un usage adapté à ses besoins.
- Accompagner les publics dans la découverte et l’usage de l’IA :
Créer des conditions propices à l’échange, à la sensibilisation et à l’intégration de ces outils dans les pratiques quotidiennes des jeunes.
- Identifier les enjeux spécifiques pour les acteurs jeunesse
Observer l’impact de ces transformations sur les métiers de l’accompagnement et adapter les postures professionnelles.

Ces rencontres s’inscrivent chaque année dans une dynamique de réflexion collective sur les évolutions technologiques et sociales qui impactent directement les jeunes et les professionnel·les qui les accompagnent.

#^$200 Triggers a Federal Report? That’s Absurd.

The Institute for Justice is fighting back against a sweeping new financial surveillance rule that targets small-dollar financial services—often for low-income customers without bank accounts.

Typically, businesses have to report cash transactions over $10,000 to the government. Now, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has ordered non-bank financial services businesses in 30 zip codes near the U.S.-Mexico border to file reports on all transactions over $200, including sensitive customer info like social security numbers and addresses.

Cash isn’t a crime, and small businesses shouldn’t be forced into serving as spies for the government.

IJ has filed suit to protect privacy and property rights.

#^Court Kills Speech Ban on Lawyers

Judges from the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee have amended the court’s local rules to remove a provision that prevented attorneys from discussing their cases with the media and the public.

The changes were sparked by a federal lawsuit, filed by the Institute for Justice on behalf of local civil rights attorney Daniel Horwitz in October 2024.

This is a huge win for the First Amendment in Middle Tennessee.

Attorneys have a right to discuss their cases, and the public has a right to know what the government and its contractors are doing wrong.

#^Victory! Donut Mural Defies Censorship

n May 19th, 2025, U.S. district court judge Joseph Laplante ruled that Conway, New Hampshire’s attempt to force a local bakery to take down a mural of donut mountains painted by high school art students was “unconstitutional” and ordered the town to stop any efforts at enforcement.

Leavitt’s Country Bakery owner Sean Young risked fines and criminal prosecution if he did not modify the mural or take it down.

Sean and his attorneys from the Institute for Justice tried to reason with Conway, but were forced to file a federal First Amendment lawsuit in January 2023 to protect Sean and the students’ artwork.

Now, the judge's ruling makes it clear that Conway was discriminating against certain signs based on what officials thought they depicted.

That’s a clear First Amendment violation.

#^Gov't Surveillance on $200 Cash Transactions

Small businesses subject to new and intrusive financial surveillance that could ruin them are suing to protect their Fourth Amendment rights and the rights of their customers.

Last week, the federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) implemented an order requiring certain businesses in targeted ZIP codes to report all cash transactions above $200.

The normal reporting requirement is for cash transactions over $10,000. By dropping that to $200, FinCEN is treating virtually every honest, hardworking person as a potential criminal whose name and financial information will go into a database for criminal investigators to use.

The Pontsteiger building is a striking modern residential tower in Amsterdam, located on the IJ River in the Houthaven district. It’s one of the city’s most iconic contemporary architectural landmarks.

The Pontsteiger building is designed by Arons en Gelauff Architecten, the building was completed in 2019. It stands 90 meters tall and features a unique bridge-like structure at the top, creating an open space in the middle. The design resembles a giant gateway over the water, making it a recognizable part of Amsterdam’s skyline. The building is covered in bronze-colored aluminum cladding, giving it a luxurious and modern appearance.

The Pontsteiger building mainly consists of high-end apartments and penthouses. The top levels (the "bridge" section) house some of the most expensive apartments in Amsterdam, with stunning views over the city and the IJ River. The lower levels feature rental apartments, commercial spaces, and a few retail spots.

The Pontsteiger building is situated in the Houthavens district, an old harbour area that has been transformed into a trendy, sustainable neighbourhood. It offers waterfront living with boat access, making it attractive for affluent residents. And it's close to Westerpark, a popular park with cultural venues, cafés, and green spaces.
