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

Reminder that Substack helped launch Bari Weiss into CBS takeover position and the precarious media position in which we find ourselves generally. (And this is only one of multiple Bad Things about them!) The best time to have left there is, like, a couple years ago, but the second best time is now.

It’s not even 10 a.m., and so much has unfolded in Chicago:

– Illinois sues Trump over the National Guard deployment

– Mayor Brandon Johnson bans city property use for immigration enforcement

– Journalists and protesters sue the feds over Broadview violence

Yes to all of that and I also wonder from a purely practical business perspective how Paramount expects somebody whose past work experience is essentially running a newsletter will apply to running an entire news network

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.

Amidst the horrors, Lorne Michaels continues to hire children fresh from the Harvard Lampoon to work in his comedy mines, so at least there's one thing we can depend on in this world
