I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

Yes! More pointing out the lies of the lying liars who lie.
Here’s a great example of Homeland Security and Tricia McLaughlin propaganda not being true. They’re going around claiming credit for Chicago experiencing the fewest summer murders since 1965. That was true and reported locally before Midway Blitz even began.

These folks see it all. Maybe this would be a great anthro project…
We asked bus operators from the Chicago Avenue garage which route takes the most skill to drive, and which route is their favorite.
Here’s what they had to say 💬

Tonight the Pride Train blessed a solidarity gathering after a brutal day of ICE activity in the area. Sometimes community looks like a summer street fest concert and sometimes it looks like an autumn crowd singing together in grief and anger. No matter what it looks like Rogers Park.
