The gratuitous violence being inflicted on Chicago would have been anathema during the U.S. military's counterinsurgency operations in Iraq.
And the "threats" Bovino claims CBP and ICE agents face there pales in comparison to Iraq.
They're weekend warriors with a sadistic streak.

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.

Based on a new filing with the 1st Circuit by blue states describing operational chaos in the SNAP program caused by the extreme bad faith of the Trump Regime, you may want to spend SNAP money now (low confidence). If you are in Wisconsin, you should do so immediately (higher confidence)

Great news! Because of a recent court order, November SNAP benefits for Wisconsin recipients were made available overnight. Members should feel free to use the funds as they normally would.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

This is a fascinating thread
Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.
The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.
