From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I always wondered about what rhcp meant by "the city she loves me" (L. A.)

never been under a bridge as it were, but my first two cities felt entirely indifferent

Chicago doesn't feel like that though, glad to say

Nancy Drew is a straight up menace.

Horseshoe Bay needs to lock her up.

I'll be interested to see how this order plays out with appeals

so disappointing that they wouldn't allow for the necessity of bovine to provide his daily "what I did today" reports and overturned just that

there's more accountability for a server at the end of their shift than these jackals
Judge Sara Ellis began with Carl Sandburg’s beloved poem, “Chicago.”

That’s the vision of the city she embraced as she decried the feds’ use of force here that “shocks the conscience,” and extended an order meant to curb it.

Judge blasts Trump’s Chicago border ‘Blitz,’ extends curbs on use of force that ‘shocks the conscience’
Judge Sara Ellis said Trump's Justice Department lacks credibility, partly because of a lie told by U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.

Thank you courtroom sketch artist Wayne Potrue for properly depicting Bovino as the pathetic headass that he is.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Someone on CNN should have asked Rahm Emanuel about Laquan McDonald. He loves talking about that.
Rahm Emanuel, who is toying with some kind of anti-left 2028 bid, is on CNN trying to downplay the significance of Zohran Mamdani.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.
