You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

A juvie guard was found not guilty of battery and official misconduct last week. “The defendant puts his hand on [the child] and maybe pushes him at best,” the judge in the case said. “There is no picking up and throwing down.”
Watch the video. Tell me if you agree and if you also agree that 2+2=5.

Jeffrey Epstein was developing a series, moderated by @lkrauss1.bsky.social, to bring scientists and celebrities together. The first season would include an episode where "Woody Allen talks about the human condition with Linguist Noam Chomsky."

I keep wondering whether the NYT Connections game I played this morning is accessible to all users. Without giving away any of the word links, it's to imagine how some of the images could be described in such a way that makes it useful or fair for people with low vision.

While not exactly empty, Chicago’s Chinatown feels like a shell of its usual self. On Sundays at 2p there’s usually a 45-minute wait for Qing Xiang Yuan; 30 minutes if you’re lucky. Today, there wasn’t even a line.

This brilliant little article gets at what I’ve seen but haven’t yet read: Chicago locals, regardless of status, are apprehensive about venturing out to restaurants and food stalls targeted by ICE. The result is a whole sector in economic and social crisis.

I remember when Obama appointed Homan to run ICE deportations in 2013, and when gave Homan an award for extraordinary accomplishment in 2015.
There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.
