Law aimed at punishing Trump protesters being used against UF fans who ran onto football field - Creative Loafing Tampa
Four exuberant football fans who rushed the field after the University of Florida’s upset win over Texas are facing first-of-their-kind, felony trespass charges under a new law a Republican senator said was intended to punish protesters of President Donald Trump during his appearances in the state.
Lawmakers in Tallahassee said they never intended the new law to be used against fans storming football fields after a huge victory. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it in May.
And famed former UF head coach Steve Spurrier said in a new interview he thinks such fan actions at college games energize players and make a lifetime memory for students.
Two UF students and two older men were handcuffed and arrested Oct. 4 after police said they ran onto Steve Spurrier-Florida Field after the team’s 29-21 victory over the then-No. 9 Longhorns. It was a rare moment of exhilaration so far this season for UF, whose record fell to 2-4 after Saturday’s loss to No. 5 Texas A&M.
A review of statewide criminal records across Florida shows that the felony charges recommended by law enforcement in their cases would be the first filed under the new law, which took effect May 16. It bans anyone from entering an area secured by law enforcement or a large, ticketed sports or entertainment event without a ticket – with penalties up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
Such cases were previously handled as misdemeanors. The new law, which two Democratic state lawmakers voted against, puts running past police onto a football field after a big game on the same criminal level as aggravated assault, bribery, drug possession or child abuse.

Elaine Goodale and Charles Eastman’s 19th-century interracial marriage made them a media sensation. But tensions over gender, race and identity ultimately proved too hard to overcome.
Urban noise is a common problem, and the vast majority of it is created by motor vehicles. Noise is far too often dismissed as a minor nuisance, rather than the legitimate health issue that it is.
The book "Curbing Traffic" has a chapter about the health impacts of noise pollution. I explore the research in the book, and visit Delft, the city that is highlighted in the book as being a shining example of what can happen when noise pollution is taken seriously.
This video explores the problem that farting cars, farting motorcycles, and farting mopeds create in our cities.
"violated [a/the] crime"? 🤣 THIS IS A YALE LAW GRAD?!

J.D. Vance Tried to Evade Journalists' Questions. It Did Not Go Well
STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime? VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe S: It's a yes or no question V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-10-12T15:25:38.052Z
“George, you’re going to keep on asking this question. I’m going to keep on telling you that Governor Pritzker failed to do his job,” Vance said. “He should suffer some consequences. Whether he’s violated a crime, ultimately, I would leave to the courts. But I certainly think that he has violated his fundamental oath of office. That seems pretty criminal to me. I’d leave it to a judge and jury to decide whether he’s actually violated the crime.”

Rutgers professor flees U.S. for Spain, claims he received death threats - CBS New York
"I'm a historian of fascism and I understand that the way that authoritarian movements grow is by coming up with a boogeyman term like 'Antifa,'" said Bray, author of "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Playbook." "It really started after [President] Trump's executive order declaring Antifa a quote-unquote terrorist organization."
Bray said the executive order turned him into a target.
"The pace of the death threats accelerated after the Fox News article about the Turning Point petition to have me fired," Bray said.
Federal law enforcement agencies looking to rent office space in Pittsburgh - CBS Pittsburgh
This comes as President Donald Trump is trying to send military assets into other cities around the United States, including Chicago, Illinois, Portland, Oregon, and Washington, D.C.
According to a competitive lease proposal filed by the the General Services Administration, Pittsburgh is one of 20 cities around the country where federal officials are looking to rent office space.

Very Soon, ICE Will Know Exactly Where You Are All the Time | The New Republic
The immigration law enforcement agency has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, according to ICE documents obtained by 404 Media. ICE reportedly prefers the service because it also peels information from social media accounts.
Redacted documents make reference to two products, both produced by the contractor Penlink. They are known as Tangles and WebLoc. Both were created by an Israeli company called Cobwebs, which merged into Penlink in 2023. ICE has reportedly spent upwards of $5 million for access to the software, Forbes reported last month.
13-year-old Brazilian boy transferred to Virginia facility after ICE detention - masslive.com
ICE arrested the boy, whose family is from Brazil, after an interaction with the Everett Police Department, the Boston Globe reported.
The boy’s mother received a call on Thursday to pick her son up from the department; however, an hour and a half later, she was told ICE had taken her son, the Globe reported.
“ICE does NOT target juveniles or children,” DHS Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to MassLive. “At the time of the detainment, ICE had no knowledge of the individual’s age.”
Judge orders release by Tuesday unless ICE can show grounds for continued detention of the Everett minor who was taken into custody after police interaction.
How does one determine the spacing between a gamma match and the main antenna conductor? As in, where they're parallel between the two feed point terminals. :/ #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
Without doing any modelling, I would say it's probably not critical and it's likely to be a small fraction of a wavelength at the relevant frequency. I suspect it would just adjust where the gamma match attaches to the driven element, similar to, eg a J Pole feed point.
Of course, the correct way to answer this is to post a picture to QRZ.com and wait for 40 different "you're doing it wrong" posts that reference ARRL handbooks from the '40s
I feel like I sort of "lost my voice" more or less permanently thanks to the psychological abuse I suffered from my fellow classmates and father growing up. I subconsciously do whatever I can to avoid saying anything verbally. :(
Just landed on my first C4FM repeater net. It's pretty cool! It shows both the call sign and distance from the repeater of the transmitting stations. :O #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
In 2013 Yaesu introduced “System Fusion,” new technology utilizing C4FM 4-level FSK technology for transmitting digital voice data. The System Fusion communication protocol enables devices to analyze an incoming signal and automatically determine if it is using C4FM or conventional FM mode. System Fusion also enables data transfer at full rate with speeds reaching up to 9,600 bits per second.
It's kind of cool how you can use the different feed point impedance characteristics of off-center fed dipoles to compensate for low radiation resistance caused by the antenna's surroundings. :3
