So this two-person shop has become a load-bearing element of Chicago's coverage of what's happening with the ICE raids. The least you can do is support em: unraveledpress.com/support-unra...
Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.

Chicago is under attack this morning again this morning as fascist foot soldiers and civilians clash outside a feeder concentration camp in Chicago.
Protesters tried to stop an ICE vehicle. The agent kept driving through the crowd. Broadview PD stayed on traffic control on 25th, as the agent kept driving through the crowd.

This week, Jimmy Kimmel returned, a weird statue vanished and no one (to our knowledge) got snatched up to heaven.
There was no rapture this week, so the quiz returns. Can you score a perfect 11?

Folks are leaving handwritten messages on the fence.

One of them reads, "You are not forgotten. ICE will meet justice in our lifetime."

Weird how “we should blow up the UN” isn’t considered encouraging political violence. 🤔

A sleeper political issue of the next few years is the rising costs of electricity. AI & data centers are driving up demand & the Trump Administration is making it harder to add clean energy supply. I joined @chrislhayes.bsky.social on #WITHpod to talk about it: open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."
How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

UPDATE: President Trump and his deputies tied autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, presented a cancer drug as a possible treatment, and said the FDA would change labeling to reflect both claims. There is little strong scientific evidence for either.
