This project was a big collaborative effort to make happen, especially on the visuals front, with amazing photography by @highcountrynews.org's photo editor Roberto “Bear” Guerra, illustrations by Shoshana Gordon, mapping by @lucaswaldron.bsky.social, and design from @tealtan.bsky.social.

Mark Olalde & @jamesctobias.bsky.social spent months reporting on location across the West - from Colorado to Utah and Arizona. They even got up in the air. (not a truck ad but we do love a Tacoma)

Remember that big government raid on an apartment building in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago?

@propublica.org looked into it and found little evidence to support the government's claims. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The government doesn’t track how many citizens are held by immigration agents. @nicolefoy.bsky.social @propublica.org found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests.

Trump's Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools — and the end of public educations as we know it.
