The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

there will be no other substantial changes

thank you for your attention to this matter

A photo of the entrance to The Word for World exhibition, with two banners hanging vertically down outside the doorway to a brick building with white-paned windows. A row of bicycles are parked in front. The banners are purple and white and say the name of the exhibition and Ursula K. Le Guin's name.

A cord-wrapped rock rests on a vivid blue background next to a map of and program for The Word for World exhibition.

A stack of copies of The Word for World book, which shows the title in vivid blue against a black cloth cover.

Ariana Jasmine @arianajasmine An ICE agent shot an American citizen. He filed a false report that contradicted his body cam footage. The agent allegedly said, "Do something, b*tch" before shooting her, leaving her with seven gunshot wounds. Why isn't this on every news channel?

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

The Trump administration isn't only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and "entities" whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following "indica" (indicators) of violence: • anti-Americanism, • anti-capitalism, • anti-Christianity, • support for the overthrow of the United States Government, • extremism on migration, • extremism on race, • extremism on gender • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and • hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.
