Reading The Sirens’ Call and @chrislhayes.bsky.social has a subliminal messaging thing going on. I forgot my headphones on my run this morning so spent the hour listening to the soundtrack of the park. 🏃🏻‍♀️

My first reaction was, “Thank God it’s not ICE, it’s only the police.” So things are going well in Chicago. 🫠

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Pass it on: If you FILE A COMPLAINT about police activity, it flags the body-worn camera video so reporters can obtain it later via FOIA requests.

From @theathletic.com: A Lakers fan is suing LeBron James for fraud over his post of a “Second Decision.” He insists his lawsuit has nothing to do with making money. It’s much deeper than that.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

My aunt took me to a game in a suite at Jacobs Field one year. Turned out it was Larry Dolan's suite, and he showed up as the Cleveland pitcher was walking like 5 straight. Someone pointed it out to him and he said, "They'll break your heart. They'll always break your heart."

An insane ending in the Dodgers-Phillies series.

But, even though it doesn't always feel that way, its real design is to make you believe again.

That @swin24.bsky.social is on his game over at Zeteo.

The public release of NSPM-7 partially served "as a way to apply additional pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi to ramp up arrests and prosecutions to a level that would satisfy people like Stephen Miller." zeteo.com/p/inside-tru...
Inside Trump’s Plot To Terrorize Chicago
Sources in the administration tell Zeteo that Trump is also seriously discussing invoking the Insurrection Act with his top advisers.
