BLOOD IN THE WATER is one of the most important works of history of the last decade, and @historianheather.bsky.social's new book looks just as essential. I can't wait to read it.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
