Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

1,000+ people currently imprisoned in Louisiana were convicted by split juries — ruled unconstitutional in 2020.

Yet the state Supreme Court has declined to grant new trials, and lawmakers have repeatedly denied a reexamination of their cases.

As a small-town Midwesterner with a PhD in education policy, I know the world of competitive high schools exist...but I still can't process it. Growing up, the options were the local public high school or a regional Catholic school. I went to the public school and turned out okay-ish.

Literally all I have wanted with that argument (which, coincidentally is just a narrative version of decades of feminist economic scholarship) is that our macroeconomic data hides a lot of friction, that friction is not equally experienced, & tech economy fundamentals have exasperated that gap.

‘Absolutely devastating’: Rural schools say $100K visa fee could make it hard to hire teachers

www.chalkbeat.org/2025/10/01/t...
Rural schools use H1B visas to fill teaching positions. A $100,000 fee could end that.
“No district could afford that even for one teacher, much less multiple teachers,” one Alaska superintendent said.
