Senior #BorderPatrol official #GregBovino returns to #Chicago

#Bovino, the face of the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown, was photographed Tuesday in the predominantly Mexican American neighborhood of #LittleVillage by the Chicago Sun-Times as neighbors & activists blew whistles & shouted.

#Bovino & his team were seen detaining a man near 27th Street & Ridgeway Avenue in #LittleVillage around 10:20 AM. Nearby, neighbors & activists shouted, blew whistles & set up trash cans to try to block a #BorderPatrol caravan.

“All you’re doing in terrorizing us, scaring people. There’s little kids,” one person shouted at Bovino & other agents, blocks from where the arrest happened.

Other sightings on the Southwest Side & in Cicero were reported earlier Tuesday morning by rapid response teams that track & monitor #immigration *enforcement* activity. #BaltazarEnriquez, president of the #LittleVillage Community Council, said agents had arrested another man who was biking near 26th St & Kedvale Ave around 9:30AM.

It’s unclear how long Bovino & his team will remain in the area, following relatively short stints in Charlotte, NC, & New Orleans.

#Bovino & his agents previously traveled to the #Chicago area in Sept, weeks after the #Trump admin launched Operation Midway Blitz, the #deportation campaign that has stoked fear among the city’s immigrant communities & led to thousands of arrests.

That mission was mired in controversy & driven by aggressive tactics, including car chases & the use of chemical munitions, takedowns & chokeholds.

US Dist Judge #SaraEllis blasted the approach, restricted the #UseOfForce & ordered #Bovino to appear before her for daily check-ins. An appellate court later put a hold on those restrictions & called off the daily meetings, & the plaintiffs in the underlying case moved to dismiss it after Bovino & his team left last month.

Tricia McLaughlin, propagandist for #DHS, has insisted that #immigration enforcement efforts aren’t winding down in #Chicago.

…US Rep Jesus “Chuy” Garcia on Tuesday said his office was aware of “a large group of masked federal agents” arriving in #Chicago. His office told the Sun-Times a “planeload” of agents had arrived to continue #immigration enforcement.

Garcia, who represents #LittleVillage, said the feds were deploying “tactics designed to maximize fear” by sending an influx of agents so close to the #holidays.

this is a regime led by someone who cannot create....can only disrupt or destroy what already exists. Creation requires all the attributes this mangled piece of flesh lacks.

“Tactics designed to maximize fear” is the definition of terrorism.

Attacco cyber contro l’Asl 1 dell’Aquila, chiesti danni per 2,5 milioni di euro. Eppure il Garante Privacy si era limitato ad un ammonimento

Nel 2023 l’attacco cyber contro l’Asl 1 abruzzese aveva causato il furto di dati medici molto sensibili di oltre 10mila persone tra pazienti, dipendenti e consulenti. Il Garante Privacy, tuttavia, si era dimostrato molto “morbido” verso l’Azienda.

“A vertical video showing a photorealistic, AI-generated woman with bright red hair tied in a high ponytail. She wears a sleek black sleeveless dress and walks confidently toward the camera down a dimly lit, elegant hallway lined with large gold-framed mirrors. As she walks, she smiles and speaks to the viewer. A small "Veo" watermark is visible in the bottom right corner.“

Ever wondered how to turn a concept into a moving video? 🎥✨

I'm experimenting with the latest generative AI tools (Google Veo) to bring characters to life. This clip shows just how fluid the movement and facial expressions are becoming.
At "AI with the Blind," I'm breaking down how these tools work and how they are opening up visual creation for blind and low-vision creators.

@altbot If you use Gemini three, you’ll be able to process it just fine. It will produce a detailed frame by frame description of any video.

Crypto currency is unimportant, right?
Er no. Here's the why .... Thread

Christopher Harbone, who recently gave £9m to Reform, had previously given £10m to Brexit Party and £1m to #Johnson after he left office but Harbone himself is a major shareholder of Tether a crypto currency firm one that issues the world's largest 'stable coin' Tether claim each token they hold is backed by real world assets ------>

-------> yet it has never produced a full, independent audit of its reserves and has been fined by regulators for misleading statements about its backing. It has also faced allegations that its tokens have been used to facilitate money laundering, Russian sanctions evasion, and other illicit activity.

So why does this matter?

It has come to light that during the 2024 Presidental Elections Tether donated $270m to Trump and whilst Reform have been exposed how many other recipients are there?
