Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

so back when my dad was working in a Hong Kong children's home aged 18 he had another foreign volunteer friend, Jane. One time they were in the market, and Jane found a really nice cloth with two Chinese characters on, and took it home and made a blouse out of it.

Just because an LLM can produce a report with various figures & charts doesn't mean it is good at statistics. Because good statistics is not about producing code. It's about deep knowledge of study design & conduct. In my opinion, 95% of all data science problems come from poor questions & design.

Given the length and scope of the trafficking and criming, it stands to reason there are a very large amount of victims that the American public should want to hear from. Centering Maxwell, an enabler at best, of these crimes, over them is both wrong and tone deaf.

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.
