A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

things to ponder while handing out boxes to the extra-long line at the food pantry
The wealth of the 10 richest Americans has soared by $700 billion since Trump was reelected.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans are going hungry because Trump is illegally withholding contingency funds that would keep food stamps funded during his shutdown.

Another striking element here is how the cooler times of the year are seeing the most warming.
After a modest decline over the first half of the year (and after record 2024 warmth), global temperatures are ticking back up. The past two days have been the warmest on record for this time of year in ERA5 and the highest temperature anomalies since January.
