The escalation in state violence in the United States is unprecedented. Two people were shot dead in Minneapolis in three weeks in an “anti-immigrant” attack. Both were branded “domestic terrorists.”Meanwhile, last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents used 5-year-old Liam Ramos as a bait to remove his asylum-seeking father from his home.

tehran, iran — Here on Tuesday, life seemed to be returning in earnest in the capital, just weeks after thousands of Iranians were killed in a brutal crackdown on dissent. But the atmosphere of normalcy masks a disturbing truth: Many here feel caught between the Iranian government’s rhetoric and US President Donald Trump’s threat of military action. President Trump has warned that an “armada” is headed toward Iran. “We have a lot of ships heading in that direction just in case. It’s better if nothing happens, but we’re keeping a close eye on it.” The first of these ships, the…
Help desk automation is a billion-dollar industry and one of the industries most likely to be disrupted by technology built on AI. Big players like Zendesk, ServiceNow, and Freshworks currently dominate the space, but a number of smaller startups are betting that reorganizing workflows will give them a chance to break in.
