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

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

a lot of people that watch reality tv these days do not like the genre of reality tv and do not realize it 😭

thanks for this piece! to me, the sheer number of times they say "social and strategic" or some variation of it reeks of their inability to admit a mistake/l or fault. they know they screwed up but as always feel the need to double down and literally threaten the fans with the twist

covering his ass to make up for the fact he missed plenty of good calls to use it on! real lack of faith in AT there that he just assumed the calls were fair. same reasoning that the refs used to call them

Brandie @freetacos.bsky.social · 3d

YES! and you can say they wouldn't have won anyway (prob not) but you cannot understate the impact of so many bad calls on momentum and on-court morale! by the 3rd quarter, only Kah was in playoff form. everyone else was sloppy, taking bad shots, getting ripped, etc

Brandie @freetacos.bsky.social · 3d

pretty upsetting for nate to let two egregious foul calls against AT go only to use his challenge on a foul you could see from a mile away #wnba

An option where if enough fans want it after a bad call, a button is pressed and Cheryl Reeve runs out on the court ready to fight. #WNBA #PHXvsLV

Sarah Spain ✨ @sarahspain.com · 3d

And that is also a terrible foul call on Alyssa Thomas. #4 for her, too. Yikes.

wait does AT have 4? i must be wrong cause nate would not have left her in the game with 5 #wnba

Brandie @freetacos.bsky.social · 3d

thats 2 bogus fouls (out of her 5!!) on AT for those keeping track... #wnba

these turnovers are killing meee. protect the ball, mercury! #wnba

Brandie @freetacos.bsky.social · 3d

so we've reached the point where refs are just calling fouls on AT just for being near someone shooting? #wnba
