Militarized federal agents raided a Chicago apartment complex and pulled men, women, and children from their homes and into U-haul vans, separating the children from their parents.
Some people were pulled from their bed naked and terrified in the dead of night.

3/3 BUT now that I’ve moved into a building with a good view of the sky, the jet acrobatics are simply awe-inspiring and for those of who have never been to war, it gives a sense of the power of US military intimidation and might. I admit I watch it (and try to avoid traffic for 3 days).

2/? It’s a big recruitment event, and although military members are usually honorable and worthy of our respect, We the people would be better off without a need for such a huge defense establishment. The show totally screws up traffic in my ‘hood, imposes ear-splitting roars and scares the dogs.

I have very mixed feelings about the #ChicagoAirandWaterShow, going on this weekend. First, it’s mostly an unapologetic display of military air power, with either the #ArmyThunderbirds or #NavyBlueAngels performing. 🧵

Yikes. I was in Missoula when the logging & timber industry collapsed. It was not easy. Note the cost of housing: “Home values there have soared from $350,000 before the pandemic to $570,000 now, according to Zillow…”
Trump Promised a Golden Age. Then a Montana Lumber Plant Closed Down.

ICE doesn't even have a detention center in Hawaii. The men have been put in a federal prison there. Very far from home, and presumably their lawyers. Via @missionlocal.org
ICE arrested these immigrants in San Francisco and sent them 2,400 miles away—to Hawaii
One may be mentally impaired, said a judge who granted him a continuance prior to his arrest.

Proud to say I knew this man (a little). He upheld the bedrock legal principle of providing a vigorous defense for all.
Obituary: The Chicago criminal defense lawyer Tom Durkin. He relished skewering the U.S. government as he represented unpopular defendants in public corruption, free speech and national security cases, like those at Guantánamo.

Could I just note this is from the guy who says Chi is ruled by gangs?
President Trump on Wednesday commuted the federal sentences of Larry Hoover, who was convicted of leading a notorious gang from inside an Illinois prison and who was also convicted of murder. Hoover still has over 100 years left to serve on state charges. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...
