The Durham community came together and raised 100K in 48 hours; hundreds of volunteers joined in to procure, package, and distribute food and necessities to immigrant DPS families - 655 families and 13000 meals. Thank you to local organizers who led us into startling food distribution efficiency 🫶🏼

Hoa Hakananai'a translates loosely as "the lost, stolen or hidden friend" ❤️‍🩹
Emotional scene at the @britishmuseum.bsky.social as a Rapa Nui delegation paid tribute to the Hoa Hakananai'a Moai that was stolen from the island in 1868. People calling for its return are once again flooding the museum's comment section on social media. #devuelvanelmoai

Although Durham officials were not informed of any planned CBP activity, individuals have reported seeing agents in the city, and Nida Allam, who chairs the Durham County Board of Commissioners, said she witnessed three people taken into custody in a Durham shopping center on Avondale Drive.

Yes. By the same token, I don't think Germany as a society truly understands what Germany's complicity in all this means for the country. I predict Gaza will be a significant factor in alienating or repelling the "high-skilled" workers the economy needs: www.iamexpat.de/expat-info/g...

So I asked my Duke first-years if they were interested as a small class project in making sandwiches for our neighbors in Durham, and they absolutely were.
We delivered 65 sandwiches to two Durham Community Fridge locations today, one had a small line waiting for food. Look out for your neighbors 💙

As someone experienced in cybersecurity, believe me when I say the most difficult challenge security experts face lies in the stupidity of people within the organization they're trying to safeguard.

Even the strongest security system becomes useless when some dolt leave the front door open.
