"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."
The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.
Trump administration is sending pregnant migrant girls to South Texas shelter flagged as medically inadequate
Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

Chicago's U.S. attorney's office has released evidence from the case against Marimar Martinez, pre-empting her press conference later today.
It even released text messages it once claimed would "sully" a Border Patrol agents's rep.

Seriously, we need think pieces about how more swole dudes can learn from Bad Bunny to have mobile hips and glutes so they too can have the balance to easily dance on top of a truck while expressing a strong political message.

This story mentions "Oak Brook Gateway" in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook as one of the buildings in which ICE is supposedly planning office space.
Oak Brook Gateway is managed by Fairbridge Partners LLC. I tried to contact them, but the only email listed on their website bounced back as invalid.

similar dynamic with Pritzker in IL. Hugely disappointing from someone who wants to be the role model for standing up to Trump.
Kind of shocking how much respect I’ve lost for Tim Walz in all of this.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

music is sound art. it is textural, rhythmic, melodic, a game of tension and release, a conversation between expectation of the listener and the song itself, and reduce it to lyrics only displays the same lack of artistic palette as someone who can only appreciate “realistic” visual art
