Indigenous people are demanding land rights not just as a restoration of their right to manage their territories but also as a climate and nature fix.
How will countries respond, not just during COP30 but beyond?

This. All of this. It’s not just the individual incidents. It’s the weight of all of it. Chicago is being intentionally traumatized. Repeatedly. It’s hard to describe. Kyle did it.
In last 2 months, trying to count how many days I *didn’t* hear helicopters overhead & I’m coming up w single digits.

Get your whistles ready and be loud
Do not serve ICE agents in restaurants
Save the numbers for rapid response teams
You will never get use to the helicopters or drones
It’s okay to not be okay, anxiety is real

“Remember the Chicago apartment raid? With Blackhawk helicopters? That was in a building ‘filled with Tren de Agua terrorists,’ according to Stephen Miller? ProPublica is reporting not a *single* person who was arrested has been charged with a crime.”

"More than 3,000 people have been abducted by ICE across Chicagoland since early September. For those of us responding to that crisis, it can be hard to respond to anything else." This is how I've felt these last two months.
My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

This is the most comprehensive reporting released on the DHS-alleged shooting so far. Read the entire story (reminder: reporters don't usually choose headlines).
For folks asking if it's true an ICE agent was shot: no, that is a verifiably false rumor. No injuries. A lot else remains in question.

Of course I hardly ever travel but am supposed to fly on Monday 🙃🫠
You would think all the airlines would get together and put some pressure on the GOP to end this shut down, but I guess not… should be a fun travel season these next few weeks.
