The imminent flight that I mentioned at the end of this story has taken off. Sounds like it’s going to go Senegal - Ghana - Central African Republic, with the latter two being third-country removals. At least one of the immigrants being sent to CAR is from Nepal.
Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 6d agoNEW FROM ME: A frenzy of cruel and unusual ICE flights over the last few days suggests the Trump admin is ratcheting up its ethnic cleansing campaign. And it may be increasingly desperate to find willing collaborators. My breakdown: gillianbrockell.com/frenzy-of-cr...
It took 50 years but the murderer of Victor Jara has been convicted. This should be a wake up call to members of the IDF and Israeli leaders. Your day is coming too. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Nelson Haase Mazzei was sentenced for murdering Jara in 2023, but fled from authorities in Chile

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.
July 27, 1926: "Chicagoland" as a term for the Chicago metro area is coined in a headline that runs in the Chicago Tribune over the beginning of a series on the area's cultural treasures and tourist destinations. Publisher Robert McCormick will relentlessly plug the phrase for years.

New slice place under the Western Blue line stop is some of the best pizza I've had in Chicago. Exquisite.
Everything else aside, it’s super depressing that what’s left of this glacier in a national park dedicated to glaciers looks like the far end of a midwestern Walmart parking lot at the end of march
Dr. Jeremy Swist@metalclassicist.bsky.social · 2w agoA beautiful metaphor for America here at Glacier National Park: a bunch of people standing under a melting glacier that could collapse onto them at any moment despite all the signs warning them.
Somewhere there's a national holiday specifically dedicated to returning all the things you've borrowed from friends in the previous year, right? I'm sure we have this
Their inability to even decisively lose in Iran, the bottom falling out of the AI boom, they are turning all their attention to repression, red scare, economic punishment (Canada tarrifs) and now medicaid attacks. They are cornered, terrified and flailing. Extremely dangerous, extremely weak

Chicago Police officials said they would address the 200,000+ secretive traffic stops I had uncovered two years ago that were hidden from oversight. But now as CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling retires, the issue is worse— *half* of all stops in the last year were not properly documented
