And very lucky to be married to a fantastic culture writer & critic (@daniellamazzio.bsky.social) who has a growing body of work that's a delight to read & learn from. She's been very encouraging & supportive while I've been honing/refining my critical voice.

The Border Patrol op in Evanston made many headlines on Friday (as it should have), but please note that none of this is new. Feds have been devastating the west burbs for nearly two months now. These communities do not have equivalent wealth and media infrastructure; a lot doesn't break through.

Like with the South Shore apartments raid, there are details we may never learn. Also like with that raid, we are seeing some very disturbing preliminary reports that we hope more resourced newsrooms can verify.

Also yesterday—two people were arrested by local police for documenting ICE and protesting at the area detention center. ICE took down their illegal fence. But the time and place restrictions on protest, including a city imposed curfew, have led to a constant churn of citations.
