does this remind you. of anything.
ALT "“I wasn’t planning on letting her stay, but I didn’t know what the hell was going on,” the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed. “I didn’t want them to take her,” said the man, who didn’t want to be named because he fears he’ll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions. “I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her, ‘Just stay there. Don’t open, don’t, shh, just stay quiet,’” he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears."
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

There’s been so many instances exactly like this: slumlord wants to offload a property, so they call ICE and say they suspect migrant gangs/traffickers/whatever. ICE comes in, humiliates, detains, intimidates, and robs every tenant until the building clears out
Dozens of masked and armed federal agents backed by a Blackhawk helicopter descend on a Chicago apartment building, handcuff everyone including kids, then check them all for outstanding warrants and immigration status. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi…

Not enough people are talking about this. My village and a few others were officially annexed this Saturday, now a part of “Israel,” Palestinians living there no longer have a Palestinian ID number and need a permit to live and travel on their land, and it can be revoked anytime.
❗ "Israel" ha comenzado oficialmente la anexión de Cisjordania, cancelando las identificaciones palestinas de los residentes en la zona C y emitiendo nuevos permisos digitales bajo su sistema. Esto comienza en las aldeas al oeste de Jerusalén: Beit Iksa, Al-Jib, Nabi Samwil, Hallileh.
Estos permisos se emiten en línea. Los residentes presentan solicitudes a través de la aplicación israelí "Coordinador". Su número de identificación palestino desaparece. Su movimiento ahora está vinculado a la base de datos israelí.
❌ El permiso indica:
– Entrada y salida permitidas solo con "aprobación de seguridad".
– La identificación no se reconoce como documento oficial.
– El permiso puede ser revocado en cualquier momento.
Estas aldeas ya no se consideran territorios de la Autoridad Palestina. Se consideran parte de "Israel". "Israel" ya ha anexado físicamente estos territorios.

Why Bonnie's singer-songwriter Blair Howerton’s writing is full of doubt and vulnerability, but her band’s blend of shoegaze, fried country, and straight-ahead indie rock sounds more confident than ever

it says something truly dismal about the ~state of the music industry~ when even an artist on a major label with streaming numbers in the millions who’s opening for some of the biggest pop stars of today can’t support herself as a musician
