“Operation Midway Blitz” will continue in and around Chicago through Halloween weekend.

“Every time I asked what would happen to my children, or if they could have something to eat, they hit us. They told me I did not matter. They told me my children did not matter,” Jaramillo-Solano told the resource center. *quote from article coloradosun.com/2025/10/31/d...

Unfortunately History is repeating itself

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

The Supreme Court says Mississippi can force people who use platforms like Instagram, X, Bluesky and Reddit to scan their face or otherwise prove who they are to access content on those platforms. Just a few weeks ago, we were told that would only ever apply to "porn."

An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
