We wondered what Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai meant when he said on their earnings call last Thursday that for Waymos, “there is future optionality for personal ownership.”

Well, we only had to wait a minute to find out. Waymo announced today that they’re developing autonomous technology with a little automotive manufacturer you may have heard of: Toyota.

Tucked into the announcement, Waymo also plans to release a generalizable autonomous driving system for any given vehicle. Read our full analysis!

Videos shared online show a female protester having her Palestinian flag snatched away before she is violently shoved to the side. Later videos show her on the ground as she bleeds from the head. Police did not appear to intervene.

Some witnesses posting on social media said she was attacked with a brick.

The woman reportedly took to Instagram, where she identified herself as an anti-Zionist Jew with an Israeli passport, as she displayed the injuries to her face.

“The only thing that gives me some joy is that while all the zios were celebrating and laughing at me im over here thinking yall hit a Jew w. a damn israhelli passport!!! great job," she wrote.

The second female referenced by Adams turned out to be a passerby who lives in the neighbourhood, according to a report in the Associated Press.

She was surrounded by 100 men, all part of the pro-Israel crowd, who threatened to rape her before following her down the street as they chanted, "Death to Arabs," repeatedly, she told the AP.

I called my senators today and asked them why they were letting Black senators and congresspeople do all the heavy lifting in terms of visible protest/dissent. Booker's speech, the sit-in he and what's-his-name did on Sunday, Jasmine Crockett speaking out on the House floor. I suggested they get their white behinds into the line of fire too. I got a human being on one call-- he seemed a tad surprised.... But I don't care. It's not right. I think everyone should call their reps and ask them.

Santo Domingo (AFP) – Still in pain from giving birth, a Haitian mother carrying her newborn was helped onto a migration services bus in the Dominican Republic, joining a family member who was arrested when he visited her in hospital.

Both were detained in a series of raids on Dominican health facilities, launched just over a week ago in the country's latest drive to eject undocumented migrants.

Since early 2024, more than 350,000 Haitians have been deported from the comparatively wealthy and stable Dominican Republic, shuttled across the 340-kilometer (211-mile) border with poverty and gang-violence riddled Haiti.

Dominican President Luis Abinader has championed a MAGA-style hard line on migration since first coming to power in 2020, with mass expulsions of Haitians and the construction of a wall that so far stretches across more than half the border.

Now, his administration has turned its attention to public hospitals, flushing out migrants who may have gone under the radar if it wasn't for the fact that they needed medical attention.

Arresting and deporting new mothers, "I don't like that.... women must be respected," Haitian Erony Auguste, 42, told AFP from the migration bus next to his sister-in-law who had recently given birth.

He claimed he was detained at the hospital despite having residency papers.

For William Charpentier, coordinator of the National Bureau for Migration and Refugees, a Dominican-based rights group, "mixing health with the issue of border control... is really a violation of human rights. It seems a very cruel measure."

Migrants seek the group's help daily, he told AFP, adding they are afraid to seek medical and maternal care for fear of being arrested and expelled from the country so many Haitians see as their only hope for a better life.

The measure "puts people, mainly women, at risk," said Charpentier.

Martin Ortiz Garcia of the Dominican National Health Service (SNS), confirmed the number of Haitians seeking hospital treatment has dropped.

Since 2010, the Dominican Republic does not grant birthright citizenship to children born in the country to undocumented migrants. A 2013 court ruling backdated the restriction to people born as far back as 1929.

Last year, Abinader's government deported over 276,200 Haitians and is on track to exceed that number with more than 86,400 deportations in the first quarter of 2025 alone.

"Of course, everyone is afraid. Sometimes even people with papers are arrested, even Dominicans are arrested if they leave home without papers," merchant Marie Casale, 63, told AFP in the capital Santo Domingo.

The Dominican Migration Service reported that on Day 1 of the hospital crackdown, 48 pregnant women, 39 new mothers, and 48 children were arrested and taken to a detention center for deportation.

At the center, 34-year-old Dominican national Santo Heredia waited, desperate for news of his wife, who is five months pregnant and was detained after a prenatal appointment.

His wife, said Heredia, was born in the Dominican Republic to Haitian parents, but has not been able to legalize her status in the country as they did not have enough money to file the paperwork.

The couple has another daughter, 4.

"She is alone, she has no money on her, she has no means of communicating with anyone," he told AFP. "This has me really tormented, honestly."

Last year, 36 out of every 100 births in Dominican hospitals were to Haitian women, according to Ortiz Garcia of the SNS.

Public hospitals require patients to provide identification, proof of employment and residence, and payment for services rendered.

But Ortiz Garcia insisted care is not denied to the undocumented.

"Illegals are treated in emergencies. If they need admission, they are admitted, and then after their medical event, they go through the migration protocol," he told AFP.

Many migrants from Haiti, a Creole- and French-speaking nation of some 11 million people of mainly African descent, are fleeing violent gangs that control about 85 percent of Port-au-Prince, the capital of the poorest country in the Americas.

Many in the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic have turned on those of their neighbors who cross the border, accusing them of usurping Dominican jobs and resources.

A nationalist group calling itself "Ancient Dominican Order," has been campaigning against the "Haitianization" of the country and has urged the authorities to be "vigilant at all maternity wards."

On Sunday, two migration trucks with Haitians being deported were jeered at as they drove past a group of nationalist protesters shouting "Go back to your country" and "Out! Out!"

Previous studies have consistently shown a long-term trend of mass loss, particularly in West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula, while glaciers in East Antarctica appeared relatively stable. However, a recent study led by Dr. Wang and Prof. Shen at Tongji University has found a surprising shift: between 2021 and 2023, the AIS experienced a record-breaking increase in overall mass.

Today the U.S. House of Representatives passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act, giving the powerful a dangerous new route to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech that they simply don't like. President Trump himself has said that he would use the law to censor his critics. The bill passed the Senate in February, and it now heads to the president's desk.

I have an idea for a product that I think it is remarkable it's not already a thing. It would be easy to make and produce, and I imagine manufacturing would be cheap, but could be sold at a decent price.

I know I'll need a designer or engineer to help me with a virtual design. I'll also need a programmer as the product is a "smart" product and would link back to an app. So I'd need an app dev and someone to program the functionality of the device.

So assuming I get all that, then what? How does one get something like this manufactured, assuming it gets that far? I have a potential source from which I could get a business loan, but would at least need a virtual mockup and a plan.

I would love to see this become a reality but it feels daunting and I have no idea how to make it all come together. Any insight from the lemmings is much appreciated.

Edit: I've seen some prototyping and invention help companies, but they feel skeevy and Id have no doubt the terms end up with most of the profit going to them.
