 Serena Williams falls to 20-year-old Maya Joint in Wimbledon return after nearly four-year singles absence Serena Williams showed flashes of the power and precision that defined her Hall of Fame career in her return to professional singles tennis Tuesday, but ultimately fell short in a three-set opening-round loss at Wimbledon. The 44-year-old Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, was defeated 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-3 by 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint in a match that lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes on Centre Court. It marked Williams’ first singles appearance in nearly four years, since the 2022 U.S. Open. Williams still produced trademark moments, including powerful serves and heavy groundstrokes that once carried her to seven Wimbledon singles titles. But Joint, ranked 87th, absorbed the pace and proved steadier on the biggest points, repeatedly finding angles that pushed Williams out of position. “I don’t know what just happened, to be honest,” Joint said afterward. “I didn’t get ...

 Almost 1,000 Google employees call on company to cut ties with ICE and CBP 

More than 900 Google employees have signed an open letter criticizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and urging the company to disclose its involvement with the agencies and cut ties.

The letter highlights recent ICE-related deaths, including Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, and says employees are “appalled by the violence” and “horrified” by Google’s role. It claims Google Cloud supports CBP surveillance and powers Palantir’s ImmigrationOS system used by ICE, while Google’s generative AI tools are also being employed by the agency. The letter adds that the Google Play Store has blocked ICE tracking apps.

Citing a January post by Google Chief Scientist Jeff Dean about the importance of speaking out, employees called for the company to end partnerships with ICE, CBP, and the Department of Homeland Security. They demanded full disclosure of all contracts, emergency internal Q&A sessions on government work, and protective measures for workers, including flexible remote work policies and immigration support.

“As workers of conscience, we demand that our leadership end our backslide into contracting for governments enacting violence against civilians,” the letter reads. “Google is now a prominent node in a shameful lineage of private companies profiting from violent state repression. We must use this moment to come together as a Googler community and demand an end to this disgraceful use of our labor.”

The letter reflects growing pressure on tech companies to take a stand on government surveillance and immigration enforcement. Employees at Amazon, Spotify, Meta, and other firms sent a similar letter just two weeks ago calling for ICE to be removed from U.S. cities. Google has not commented on the letter.
