“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Fact Point

@factpoint.bsky.social

France has introduced moss covered highways designed to clean the air by absorbing pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, fine particles, and carbon dioxide. These green installations act like natural filters, turning roadways into living systems that help fight urban pollution.

Looks as though Kristi Noem's ICE raids abducting over 340 South Korean engineers who were here to train Americans, taking them hostage and criminalizing them in Georgia, has cost the U.S. 350 billion $ and 8,500 blue collar jobs. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
