💔🇺🇦 Zelensky: A child was killed in a church in Kostyantynivka by an air bomb. In total, over 3,100 drones, 92 missiles, and about 1,360 KABs were used this week alone.

Moscow is allowing itself to escalate the strikes and is taking advantage of the fact that the world is focused on Middle East.

Nineteen years ago, on October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was assassinated by Putin's hitmen.
She was the first to tell the truth about Russia's mass crimes in Chechnya, which foreshadowed those in Syria, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere. They could have been prevented.
Almost no one listened to her.

Bashar Assad spends whole days in Moscow playing online video games and walking around the city with his family, writes Die Zeit. This was told by an anonymous source who has known the former Syrian president's family since childhood.

These are your troopers @govpritzker.illinois.gov beating Chicagoans exercising their 1A rights as they try to stop ICE from abducting and imprisoning their neighbors without cause.

Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.

Screenshot of tweets. Mike Madrid writes: “Joe Biden was criticized for a Chinese balloon flying over our airspace. They’re giving Qatar an entire f’ing air base.”
Below, Aaron Rupar’s tweet quotes Pete Hegseth saying on Fox News: “I’m also proud that today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.”

"Skinner’s AI-powered unmasking project is part of a broader online campaign, the #ICE List [link: icelist.is ], that has published the names of more than 100 ICE employees, from field agents to back-office bureaucrats."

Tim Grecco @timgrecco.bsky.social · 1d

#ICEList
"Skinner acknowledged that the technology is flawed, and he said that about that 60% of the AI-generated results and facial recognition searches lead to wrong matches on social media profiles. […] A group of volunteers verifies them through another process before posting any names online."

AI is unmasking ICE officers. Can Washington do anything about it?

A new twist in the debate over surveillance tech raises tough questions for policymakers.

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.

The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.
