I'll go one further: Vote NO on any judge not recommended by any one of the major bar associations. Judges are almost always retained and a lot of them aren't great. If the organized bar says one is bad, believe them. www.voteforjudges.org

In our latest for @unraveledpress.com, @peoplesfabric.bsky.social and I tracked months of ICE using Chicago police parking lots, in defiance of a mayoral executive order barring immigration enforcement operations in city-owned lots. Some of these incidents happened in full view of CPD officers:

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...
The video also allegedly shows the CBP agent saying “Do something, bitch” before shots were fired. In private Signal chats, the CBP agent boasted to other officers: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” If he felt comfortable enough communicating that to fellow employees, it speaks to an irredeemable organizational culture.
