I’m an official Weather Channel book pick!

Thank you so much @jencarfagnoweather.bsky.social @alexwallaceweather.bsky.social for making www.cloudwarriorsbook.com the first “Shelf Life” selection. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

This doesn’t feel like “background” but instead the heart of a story that should be leading national news for days. Yes there has been coverage but not enough that gets at these on the ground details and moves them to the top of stories.

Some background on the escalating battle over troop deployments: Chicago has been roiled by the presence of federal immigration agents in the city and its suburbs for weeks. Agents have deployed tear gas with no warning, raided apartments and zip-tied residents for hours in the middle of the night, and handcuffed a City Council member at a hospital after she asked to see an arrest warrant for a detainee.
