Slate Magazine | We’re Seeing Exactly What Happens When You Can Bet On War—and It’s Horrifying by Alex Kirshner AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article reports that a U.S. Army special‑forces master sergeant, identified as Gannon Ken Van Dyke, was charged by the Justice Department for illegally using confidential information to place large bets on the prediction‑market platform Polymarket that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro would be ousted—profits that turned roughly $34,000 of bets into a $400,000 windfall after the January raid. It explains how insider‑trading rules are clear in traditional markets but murkier in prediction markets, where traders can profit from privileged knowledge about military or political events, and highlights the broader risks of abuse as these platforms become popular, especially under a political climate that encourages profiting from government actions. The piece also raises questions about why similar non‑military abuses are not pursued with the same vigor, critiques the industry’s attempts to portray itself as regulated, and underscores concerns that prediction markets, by allowing bets on virtually any future event, pose a growing national‑security and corruption problem.

Sky News confirms a brilliant strategic move by Iran. By opening the #StraitofHormuz only during the ceasefire, Tehran has completely trapped the #Trump administration. Washington is now under massive global pressure to abandon their disastrous #military campaign. https://x.com/FurkanGozukara/status/2045210795940716670 #Iran #news #resistance #ceasefire #education #middleeast #economy #war #usa #canada #europe #Lebanon #Hezbollah #Yemen #China #geopolitics @povertyandinequality@newsmast.community @politics@newsmast.community #antiimperialism #antifa #genocide

The #House voted 214 to 213 against bringing the #WarPowers resolution to the floor, handing Republican leaders a procedural “victory” & preserving the broad discretion they have ceded to #Trump to direct the #US #military campaign in the #MiddleEast. The 1 vote margin signaled continuing unease in #Congress as the #war nears its 8th week with no endgame, & the approach of the #midterms in which high #gas #prices threaten to sour voters on #Republicans fighting to keep their majorities. #law

Smadar #Lavie: "The refusal of elite #military reservists to attend to their periodic training […] is conceived as another Ashkenazi privilege. In general, being pro-Palestinian in #israel often requires contacts and funds to pay bail rather than rot in prison in case one is arrested during a solidarity visit to West Bank villages." https://www.972mag.com/smadar-lavie-israeli-protests-mizrahi/ #antiracism #nationalism #Zionism #whiteSupremacy #authority #bureaucracy #activism #debt
