Six people legally living in the US and legally traveling for work were disappeared by the US government and the only reason we knew about it was because one woman was family friends with a county commissioner and her cell phone pinged to two detention centers.
Sunny was held at O'Hare, then seemingly taken to Broadview, where CBP lied to Rep. Krishnamoorthi (saying she had been released at O'Hare) and to Cook County officials (saying she was never there). Meanwhile, she had been taken to Wisconsin. And we don't know where her non-citizen coworkers are.
This is weird and chilling. Where is Sunny?!
Update from Broadview where Morrison told me CBP told Raja Krishnamoorthi and him that she was released last night
But Morrison said CBP now says she was never detained despite her phone pinning at Broadview as of around 9pm

“I have usernames older than you.”.

The collapse of the US National Science Foundation
Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.
Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.
The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

I love Fletcher's flower crown! Did he get it from Skye Blue? 😍 #aewcollision
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
winter sun shines high above a circular still water tank at a sewage treatment plant. The sky is blue with puffy clouds and brick buildings are on the distant horizon. the sky and sun reflect off the water in the tank. the foreground seemingly connects to the distant buildings as a catwalk on the left extends from out-of-frame bottom towards the horizon.
sewage is water with life experience.
it reflects the choices we make and carries with it the residue of our yesterdays and years.
it can unsettle us—until we realize it was once a part of us. our pasts make us who we are today.
and can inspire us to be better tomorrow.
Don't vote for Raja, my fellow Illinois people! (I'm going to vote for @julianastratton.bsky.social)

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"
HELL. YES.
When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.
They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...
I deleted the post below because Hoylman posted an updated version stating: "UPDATE: ICE used a phony missing persons bulletin for a 5 year old girl. It is unconfirmed at this time whether they impersonated an officer to do so."

@katmabu.bsky.social lands a well-timed "do you believe this shit?" camera take while biss and fine bicker about ad spends
btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind
