“They threw her in a jail cell where she lay on the floor with progressively diminishing brain function for 24 hours, no attention, no care,” said the lawyer.

If you grab a beer or a soda in Allegiant Stadium’s Section 143 during Sunday’s Super Bowl, there’s a good chance Chayasura Walker will fill your cup. It’s not her only job. The 43-year-old cashier from nearby Henderson works at a clothing store and slings concessions at the Sphere concert venue, too, to make ends meet. Amid the billion-dollar extravagance of the biggest sporting event in the world, the mother of three and grandmother of two makes $14.25 an hour, slightly above minimum wage but with no benefits. “I work three jobs and I still qualify for Medicaid,” Walker told the Chronicle in an interview this week after getting off work at the Las Vegas Raiders home stadium in Paradise, Nev., just southwest of the Las Vegas Strip. “That should tell you something.”

One of the officers charged after the death of Freddie Gray has been promoted to oversee Internal Affairs for the Baltimore Police Department.

It’s a beloved tradition, yet shoebox floats were a rarity in the city’s public schools in the years immediately following Hurricane Katrina, as seasoned teachers were fired en masse and the school district splintered into charters run largely by out-of-towners and staffed by sizeable proportions of Teach For America teachers on short contracts from elsewhere. Some left, others stayed and still work in schools today. Some educators even wonder whether the renaissance of the small floats in recent years should be seen as a sign that the charter system – with its repudiation of New Orleans traditions – is bowing to tradition. “It was us and them,” education advocate Ashana Bigard said. “Our children were told, ‘You don’t need music and you don’t need art. The way you walk, talk, and speak is wrong,’” she said, referring to the post-Katrina days when many elementary-school students were taught to walk in silence through hallways, strictly following lines taped to the floors.

A new DoD report indicates that violence on the continent today is far worse than when the US military went in to ‘help’ Deaths from terrorism in Africa have skyrocketed more than 100,000 percent during the U.S. war on terror according to a new study by Africa Center for Strategic Studies, a Pentagon research institution. These findings contradict claims by U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) that it is thwarting terrorist threats on the continent and promoting security and stability. Throughout all of Africa, the State Department counted a total of just nine terrorist attacks in 2002 and 2003, resulting in a combined 23 casualties. At that time, the U.S. was just beginning a decades-long effort to provide billions of dollars in security assistance, train many thousands of African military personnel, set up dozens of outposts, dispatch its own commandos on a wide range of missions, create proxy forces, launch drone strikes, and even engage in ground combat with militants in Africa. Most Americans, including members of Congress, are unaware of the extent of these operations — or how little they have done to protect African lives. Last year, fatalities from militant Islamist violence in Africa rose by 20 percent — from 19,412 in 2022 to 23,322 — reaching “a record level of lethal violence,” according to the Africa Center. This represents almost a doubling in deaths since 2021 and a 101,300 percent jump since 2002-2003. For decades, U.S. counter-terrorism efforts in Africa have been centered on two main fronts: Somalia and the West African Sahel. Each saw significant spikes in terrorism last year.

Starmer and Biden see themselves as custodians of stability. But their support for this bloody conflict shows nothing but weakness. Gaza has become the expression of a legitimacy crisis for an Anglo-American political class who preside over already fragile systems that deliver less and less to their populations, and whose main offering is that the alternative is worse. Things may look stable, but underneath lurk managed discontents about costs of living, diminished social mobility and the ravages wreaked by rightwing governments to which centrists provide no real answer.

The man who beheaded his father was not a Q follower. His ideas are much more mainstream than that.

The $7 million ad seen by tens of millions of viewers drew direct parallels between the independent candidate and his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy. It also used the exact same ad template as a JFK ad from the 1960s.

The Palestinian thobe fills my phone screen. It is black, originally indigo-dyed. It flares with orange, red, and jewel-coloured embroidery. The chest-piece is laden with intricate triangles, zigzags, and flower-like motifs. The front of the skirt bursts with a panel of squares bearing stars. The sleeves and sides are rich with greens, blues, and pinks […]

If someone smells really bad it can be an embarrassing topic to bring up - even more so if you're dating them. But how do you bring up such a sensitive subject?

A passenger died on a long-haul flight after blood suddenly erupted out of his mouth and nose and splattered all over the walls of the plane. The 63-year-old German man tragically passed away in the horrifying incident on Thursday while travelling from Thailand to his home country. Witnesses said the gentleman appeared unwell when he got on the flight from Bangkok just before midnight, suffering from cold sweats and breathing difficulties. But when staff tried to soothe his condition with some chamomile tea, blood suddenly poured out of his mouth and nose. Martin Missfelder who watched the tragedy unfold said traumatized passengers were left screaming in shock.

It’s difficult to overstate what an absolutely astonishing own goal Merrick Garland scored by appointing Robert Hur to lead the Biden documents case. Hur was nominated by Donald Trump to be the US Attorney for the District of Maryland. US Attorney positions are extremely important POLITICAL appointments.

It also mapped some of the consequences of Amoc collapse. Sea levels in the Atlantic would rise by a metre in some regions, inundating many coastal cities. The wet and dry seasons in the Amazon would flip, potentially pushing the already weakened rainforest past its own tipping point. Temperatures around the world would fluctuate far more erratically. The southern hemisphere would become warmer. Europe would cool dramatically and have less rainfall. While this might sound appealing compared with the current heating trend, the changes would hit 10 times faster than now, making adaptation almost impossible.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has ordered the military to prepare a plan to evacuate the population of Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli invasion of the southern Gaza town.
