The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover.

Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

8-Jessica Chastain
9-Chiwetel Ejiofor
10-Gillian Anderson

NOTE: the focus was on actors with extensive film/TV credits, not exclusively or near-exclusively stage actors, otherwise Audra McDonald wld be on this list.

Thoughts?

8-

Some1 on X asked who was a better actor at age 30: DiCaprio or Chalamet (easy answer: Leo). But it made me think abt who are the greatest actors of my generation (X). Acknowledging that the bottom 2-3 are fluid, but this list is solid to me.

Best Gen X actors:
1-Cate Blanchett
2-Christian Bale

Middle East war could be decided by who runs out of missiles or interceptors first, analysts say Stockpiles of the most advanced US-made weapons are limited – while few know how large Iran’s arsenal is * Middle East crisis – live updates * The war in the Middle East in maps, video and photos The outcome and duration of the war in the Middle East may be decided by a grim calculus based on the size of Iran’s drone and missile stocks v vital air defence munitions held by the US, Israel and Gulf states, analysts and officials say. Since Saturday, Iran and its proxies have sought to counter the intensive joint US and Israeli offensive with more than 1,000 strikes against targets across almost a dozen countries spread over 1,200 miles. With its antiquated air force unable to compete with those of Israel and the US, Tehran has relied on its arsenal of missiles and drones. Continue reading...

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

YouTube video by Netflix Michael B. Jordan: Award Acceptance Speech | 32nd Annual Actor Awards

I’ve played it back several times and I can’t tell for certain what she says between “You are shining” and his name.

Maybe…”You roll up, Michael B. Jordan!” Like, come get your award. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Still thinking about tonight’s devastating SAG Actor Awards “In Memoriam” segment.

You know it’s violent when it includes GENERAL ZOD *AND* LEX LUTHOR!!!

Here’s my #Oscars hot take.

If The Secret Agent wins Int’l Feature, Timothée Chalamet is NOT winning Best Actor. That would mean there’s enough momentum/votes for Wagner Moura to knock Chalamet down to 2nd or even 3rd.

IMO, the Best Actor race is now between Michael B. Jordan and Moura.

Until tonight, I thought the Best Actor contest was Chalamet vs Jordan.

Now I think it’s Jordan vs Maura.

Damn. A sobering & accurate thought…

The problem with war is that you eventually run out of other people's children.

Sinners *IS* winning Best Picture at the #Oscars on March 15.

It’s as done as well-done steak.

(And, maybe, Ryan Coogler could upset in Best Director…?)

And we ALL know that Sinners is about to win #SAG Ensemble, right?!! #ActorAwards

The SECOND I saw Viola Davis’ facial expression when she opened the envelope I KNEW Michael B. Jordan won!! 🥳🔥

I was literally about to write the same exact thing. ⬇️ #SAG #ActorAwards

AMY FUCKING MADIGAN!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥳

BTW, Sean Penn DESERVES the Academy Award for “One Battle After Another.”

It’s an undeniable performance from one of the best actors of his generation.

Folks who live in big U.S. cities…start preparing yourself—mentally & otherwise—for the next Sept. 11 to happen possibly where you are in the next 5-7 years.

I’m serious as a heart attack. We will NOT come out of this unscathed.
