Thank you @arelisrhdz.bsky.social and @washingtonpost.com for covering this. ICE is committing outrageous acts like this in Chicago daily.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Militarized federal agents raided a Chicago apartment complex and pulled men, women, and children from their homes and into U-haul vans, separating the children from their parents.

Some people were pulled from their bed naked and terrified in the dead of night.

3/3 BUT now that I’ve moved into a building with a good view of the sky, the jet acrobatics are simply awe-inspiring and for those of who have never been to war, it gives a sense of the power of US military intimidation and might. I admit I watch it (and try to avoid traffic for 3 days).

2/? It’s a big recruitment event, and although military members are usually honorable and worthy of our respect, We the people would be better off without a need for such a huge defense establishment. The show totally screws up traffic in my β€˜hood, imposes ear-splitting roars and scares the dogs.

I have very mixed feelings about the #ChicagoAirandWaterShow, going on this weekend. First, it’s mostly an unapologetic display of military air power, with either the #ArmyThunderbirds or #NavyBlueAngels performing. 🧡

Trump Promised a Golden Age. Then a Montana Lumber Plant Closed Down.

ICE arrested these immigrants in San Francisco and sent them 2,400 miles awayβ€”to Hawaii One may be mentally impaired, said a judge who granted him a continuance prior to his arrest.

ICE doesn't even have a detention center in Hawaii. The men have been put in a federal prison there. Very far from home, and presumably their lawyers. Via @missionlocal.org

Palate cleanser: The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Art Museum (yes I’m serious) has a huge and fantastic David Hockney retrospective. Go! It is worthy of LACMA, the National Gallery of Art or the Art Institute of Chicago. I was blown away.
