Today, 28 years ago, Janet Jackson released her magnum opus, The Velvet Rope.

Her most introspective work, the concept album, fused R&B and Pop with Trip-hop, Dance, Folk, Jazz, Rock, and Techno.

Ellen Von Unwerth and Mario Testino photographed her for the album’s artwork.

BREAKING: Today, we're suing. Federal forces in the Chicago area are brutally suppressing free speech with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash grenades. Journalists, clergy, and demonstrators have been attacked for peacefully protesting against the government. This is an unconstitutional assault.

BREAKING: Lawsuit challenges violent Illinois ICE enforcement. Press, clergy, and protesters sue DHS for violating First Amendment

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Note: this is Illinois State Police, aiding ICE.

I do not think that JB Pritzker, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, appreciates that this is the moment that is stealing away his chance to be President.

If you live in Illinois, we need your help.

This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 11d

That’s why I need to ask everyone in Illinois for a favor.

Contact your elected officials TODAY and tell them to stand with the people — not ICE — for a press conference demanding transparency + legality this Friday at 1930 Beach Street, 9AM.

Here’s a template: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
