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 β€œille...

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 β€” with the landlord's blessing.

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield β€” Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

There’s fuckery afoot in the CO Governor’s office friends - we need to light up the phone lines. Tina Peters has defied the judge’s orders until they locked her up & she’s spent her time behind bars picking fights & getting written up. She earned her sentence & should serve every single day of it.

As Trump endangers our servicemembers' lives in the Middle East, he's also cutting care for veterans back home.

Remember when the US encouraged the Marsh Arabs in southern Iraq to rise up against Saddam Hussein after the Gulf War in 1991? They were slaughtered by the tens of thousands when the US couldn’t back them up. Ask the Kurds how it went for them in the north. Does anyone remember history anymore?

no sympathy here. cnn intentionally hired scott jennings to lie to its audience. they host him on air constantly to spread lies on air. in this instance the lie undermined their real reporters and this is a problem cnn caused for itself. they can pound sand.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

Across the United States, landlords file an average of seven evictions *every minute.*

In some cities, for every one person who secures housing, an estimated four more are pushed into homelessness.

Nearly eight years ago, when I began reporting on the "working homeless," it was treated as an edge case, a tragedy at the margins.

That fiction has collapsed.

Housing insecurity is now an ever-widening sinkhole, swallowing not only the poor and working class but entire swaths of the middle class.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing β€˜reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

An opportunity for research, but with the current situation the most likely sponsors of scholarly research on prediction markets is the prediction markets.

7. War-related prediction markets are not just an opportunity for insider trading. A letter from six Democratic Senators sent to the CFTC last month argued that these markets create β€œincentives to incite violence, foment geopolitical conflicts, and disclose classified information.”
