President Stephen Miller’s fantasies escalate from here

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:

"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."

"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

It’s unfortunately not uncommon for pedestrians to be killed by cars in the US.

For a short time, nonprofit news was a way for some newsroom leaders with marginalized identities to establish a lane for themselves and thrive. Now, mainstream folks are jumping off the sinking ship of for profit news and co-opting a culture created by those same marginalized trailblazers

Baltimore is 60 percent Black. It’s also a city with a deep bench of journalistic talent and a deep history of high quality journalism outlets. Doesn’t the Banner’s audience deserve more than a white lady carpetbagger? Or are journalism jobs merely the purview of a mobile white elite?

Y'all should read this article, it's long but it's really good and it brings up some very valid points. This government doesn't want Black and Brown people to start working together. And Black and Brown people need to stop seeing each other as enemies. We are in the same f-ing boat right now.

NEW — Rod Johnson will never forget federal agents zip-tying his hands behind his back.

“I’m an American citizen with no warrants,” Johnson said.
