My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Ever since becoming a dad, I’ve noticed that I definitely get emotional easier. I’ve no issue with that.

@yellowcard.bsky.social’s new album dropped today and the last song on it, “Big Blue Eyes,” had me tearing up this morning.

Love her and her big blue eyes.

The funniest thing about them wanting Greenwood so much is that there’s a Canadian version of Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.”

So is he really patriotic or is he just a profiteer?

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 22h

“We should replace Bad Bunny with Lee Greenwood” is an also a perfect summation of the “deal” they’ve offered universities.

As someone with French heritage, he also should’ve given you a beret.

I wish this was a true sequel and not a “meta sequel” / reboot only because the funniest thing would be if a parent’s kid was on the team and the parent loses their shit because the original Air Bud made them get benched or something.

Anyone told Johnson that Greenwood dropped a version of “God Bless the USA” entitled “God Bless You, Canada” who were supposed to be mortal enemies with?

So does this mean Johnson is signaling he’s actually a Canadian supporter? Is it because of maple syrup? The moose? TIM HORTON’S?!

If someone doesn’t take them to Magic City (for the wings), then our city isn’t giving them the respect they deserve.

I know several have said it, but yeah, Dems no longer know how to lead coordinated efforts and use the same messaging.

They’d rather write strongly worded letters and use a playbook that is at this time archaic.

Idk what it’s going to take to get them to wake up, but it’s beyond maddening.

Anthony Michael Kreis @anthonymkreis.bsky.social · 2d

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.
www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
