I cannot think of a single reason to hate Chicago that isn’t racist, rural/suburban fear of cities in general, or sports rivalry related. And none are really defensible if you actually visit here.

I'm really glad more people are realizing how brutal ICE has been in Chicago but it's really weird to see people talking about Rev Black getting attacked like it happened yesterday and not 3 weeks ago. Like, I'm glad people are catching up! But it's very weird.

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

I guess this is a general travel thread. Wizz Air states that you are not allow to carry either sharp objects or blunt objects with you on board the flight. I struggle a little with this, ontologically.

U.S. President Donald Trump has opened the doors of power to far-right Christian nationalists. Their goal: an American theocracy. The separation of church and state in America is at risk.

"When I was younger, I thought I was missing some basic psychological component—a psychic gasket that allowed other people to move through the world, seeing what I saw, without reacting. Unbothered. Uncurious. I thought that the absence of that missing part was eventually going to kill me."

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

This continues to be the federal operation that seems most egregiously and frankly performatively unlawful in myriad ways. Completely flagrant in a way that seems a lot like tire-kicking to see just how much they can get away with. So far, seems like they’re getting away with it

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.
