Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives.
Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

You can argue the merits of deporting Marcelo—a young man brought here at age 5—if you want to. But this is someone we should be proud to call American. He’s solid on every level. And if you’re really a Christian, you should be lifting him up, not casting him out.
Listen w/an open mind—and heart.

Why are accepting this? Secret police?
Here's a picture that a @kuow.org photographer took in Seattle yesterday, showing the ICE officers masked up in the hallways as they waited to arrest people coming out of their hearings.

The sheer inhumanity of this
The wife of detained Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil says Khalil missed the birth of his first child after immigration officials denied his request for temporary release so that he could attend.
Reminder: Khalil is a legal permanent resident in the U.S.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

Amazon started “Alexa, Thank My Driver” initiative in 2022. Anthony Greylon was in the top five drivers who received the most “thank yous”. Amazon gave him a $10,000 reward but he decided to donate the money to Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

In today’s hellscape news, the Trump administration is planning to cut 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The VA is already short-staffed and wait times are abhorrent.
Veterans will die because of this move.
