It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The thing is, if Democrats or anyone else is looking to lower the temperature right now, what people need most is a reason to believe there are still political or legal path out of this. Scolding people to remain peaceful isn't it. Urging patience until the midterms isn't either.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.

They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.

If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

We were the only outlet to report on this after it happened. CPD initiated a chase in afternoon rush hour traffic that killed a recently arrived Venezuelan migrant. His name was Angel Eduardo Alvarez Montesinos:

I am not sharing a lot of out of state reporting on this moment, I am sharing this.

“We can’t ignore the outright misogyny and homophobia baked into this incident—and yes, erasing Good’s wife from the story of her life and death is also misogyny and homophobia.”

How One Guy Crowdsourced More Than 500 Dashcams for Minneapolis to Film ICE ‘We have to make sure people are watching. We have to make sure we’re keeping track of our community members.’

NEW: When Nick Benson (@ottergoose.net) put out the call for dashcams to film ICE, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch in suburban Minneapolis.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911 "They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Tired
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two - And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

Hey.

Time on social media will not meaningfully increase your capacity to help combat the horrors.

If all it's doing for you is making you feel the horrors more deeply and constantly, please know that you are under no obligation to do that to yourself.
