ICE’s Spectacle of Intimidation
Immigrants showing up for court dates in Manhattan must now navigate past rows of masked federal agents.
Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

Cover of the August 1, 2025 issue of Metro Weekly, with Tim Miller on the cover. The headline: "Miller Time." He's photographed in a blue shirt, white undershirt, and several necklaces, including his trademark pearls.
Pretty cool!: My brilliant Bulwark colleague Tim Miller is interviewed in the new @metroweekly.bsky.social, D.C.'s big LGBT magazine—and they put him on the cover.

This piece means a lot to me. @avecruth.bsky.social took my photos from my day reporting in Little Village and made beautiful, evocative art. But mostly reporting this story made me angry. Real people, real communities, real business owners living in fear.

I think about these heatmaps a lot--it’s breathtaking to see the consequences play out when the people who prioritize their immediate circle over others “win.” @jvl.bsky.social goes really dark in this, but I think he’s right www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

New poll shows real cracks in the president’s backing—and opportunities for Democrats.
@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: "Donald Trump's support among Latino voters, including those who voted for him in 2024, is fracturing, a new poll shared exclusively with The Bulwark found."

For me, a new journalistic home: "Onward and Upward." My column today touches on matters personal, political, artistic, and so on. I begin with Richard Nixon (believe it or not). And the opening line of his memoirs. He had a literary sense (he really did). jaynordlinger.substack.com/p/day-one-an...
