They claim this is legal because they say that Chicago borders Canada (their rights to be warrantless only extend to 100 from the border). They claim that our border with Canada is Lake Michigan. So. Insanity.

Thank you, Sarah! We are so far, relatively free of the National Guard. We have excellent judges pushing back against that. What we do have is ICE, who are illegally targeting folks without warrants.

March 2025 Me, in the hospital with a broken vertebra and high on painkillers, was super optimistic about what July 2025 Me, healed and back at work and stone cold sober, could get done during this month. To be fair to her, she was looking at this view.

This is the kind of thing that climate-concerned folks have been thinking about for a decade or two—but most of us (me very much included) just kind of assumed that by the time this was clear to people like Powell, the conversation would be...really different from what it is now. Wild, indeed.

While on the topics of books I recently read and loved, here are two more: The Mourner's Bestiary by Eiren Caffall, and Disabled Ecologies by Sunaura Taylor, both of which powerfully deal with the intersections between sick/disabled/injured people and sick/disabled/injured ecosystems.
