The Syrian military entered Hasakah’s governorate’s Shaddadi Base after the US army handed the facility over to Damascus, Syria’s Defense Ministry announced in a statement on 15 February.

“The Syrian Arab Army has assumed control of the Shaddadi military base in Hasakah province, northeastern Syria. The base was handed over to the Syrian Army after completing arrangements with US authorities,” the Defense Ministry’s media department told state media outlet SANA.

The US military established the Shaddadi base in 2016, around a year after the US occupation of Syria officially began.

US troops were still present at the site in January 2026, when a large-scale government assault saw the nearby Shaddadi Prison come under heavy attacks. Hundreds of ISIS members escaped from that prison during the chaos.

Addressing the F-35’s operational independence from the U.S. amid tensions between Europe and the Trump administration, Secretary Gijs Tuinman made the claim to Dutch radio station BNR Nieuwsradio.

Supposedly, the British Museum changes are for "neutrality" - but let's be clear, we all know where this came from

As the "Are We the Baddies?" meme suggests. If you're a country's military, in a democracy, that wants to carry out mass civilian surveillance and use killer robots, maybe you're the one with the problem. Anthropic can be as principled as they like, there are plenty who'll be happy to help - Peter Thiel's Palantir is eager and enthusiastic about implementing this agenda.

It's depressing that none of the other Big Tech firms have any scruples about this.

President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda has supercharged opposition in cities where he has deployed federal agents to conduct raids, and communities in states including New York and Missouri are already working to block the next step the Department of Homeland Security plans to take in its push for mass deportations: acquiring massive warehouses across the country to use as immigrant detention centers.

US immigration and Customs Enforcement documents that were provided to Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire—one of the states where ICE aims to acquire a building and retrofit it to house at least 1,000 people at a time—show that the administration plans to spend $38.3 billion on its mass detention plan.

Just 12% of African governments’ external debt is owed to Chinese lenders compared to 35% owed to Western private lenders, according to the calculations based on World Bank data.[2]

Furthermore, interest rates on private loans are almost double those on Chinese loans, while the most indebted countries are less likely to have their debt dominated by China.

“Antes de dar las gracias a Dios, voy a decir: ¡ICE fuera!” proclamó el artista de música trap y reggaetón Bad Bunny el 1 de febrero, mientras aceptaba el premio Grammy por mejor álbum de música urbana.

El público en la ceremonia de premios, que tuvo lugar en Los Ángeles, respondió abrumadoramente con vítores.

“No somos salvajes, no somos animales, no somos extraterrestres”, añadió Bad Bunny. “Somos humanos y somos americanos”.

Con estas acciones, Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), uno de los artistas más escuchados del mundo, se unió a una lista creciente de músicos, poetas y otros artistas que se han convertido en parte de la resistencia al intento de la administración Trump de dividir a la clase trabajadora entre nativos y extranjeros, y de obstaculizar su capacidad para resistir la catastrófica trayectoria de Trump hacia el gobierno de un solo hombre.

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the mods for !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip . I mentioned to my fellow mod how I thought it was weird that there wasn’t a steampunk community anywhere on Lemmy. So he created one. Come join us! I’ll admit that while I’m obsessed with cyberpunk, I only have passing knowledge of steampunk. So I’m hoping some more dedicated steampunk fans will show me what I’m missing. Thanks!
