Most of you are familiar with Newark mayor Ras Baraka....particularly after his arrest earlier this year trying to enter an ICE facility.

But do you know his father?

Yep, that’s what I thought when I saw the news. South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s... I read this and think, “Could building owner have driven this to clear out building?”

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'

A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

I wondered why they felt so comfortable destroying the property. No owners to complain.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

I've been thinking about the security risks inherent to vibe coding for a while so this was a timely read!

Vibe Coding Is the New Open Source—in the Worst Way Possible

As developers increasingly lean on AI-generated code to build out their software—as they have with open source in the past—they risk introducing critical security failures along the way.

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government.

In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.
