So powerful hearing @karenattiah.bsky.social and others speak at the @fieldfoundation.bsky.social Journalism in Reckoning event last night. I hope this is the start of working towards a more robust and equitable industry.
Five panelists sit in chairs in front of a seated crowd. On the far left, panelist Colin Boyle wears a black suit jacket. Next to him is Alice Yin, wearing a black and white dress. Sitting next to Yin is Melissa Sanchez in a pink dress. Next to Sanchez is Kimbriell Kelly in a purple dress. Karen Attiah sits to the right of Kelly in a blue top.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

it's disturbing how the AI cult insists on trivializing human life through negationism. all "firsthand memory" fades - that's why historians are dedicated to understanding the truth as best they can. AI doesn't honor humanity, reality, nor historical record. it inherently obscures / falsifies truth.

The best advice I have for writers is: the harder you try to impress people with your prose, the worse your prose will be. Sit down and try to communicate honestly, you will find the places for your flourishes and metaphors that actually serve greater meaning rather than your own ego.

Part of the Chanukah tradition is to place the light menorah either outside or in a window where outsiders can see it. This is supposed to advertise the miracle of Chanukah. These days, it is also a way of saying, “This is a Jewish home.” Every year I think about how it is also an act of bravery.

Aside from Chicago's south side, federal immigration agents have also reportedly been at O'Hare Airport today. Video shared online ~1 pm shows masked agents in a lot near the airport; O'Hare PD wouldn't independently confirm the agents' presence but said they'd "been getting calls about it."
Image description:

A masked federal agent faces the driver side of a blue vehicle in a parking lot, while another masked agent turns away from the vehicle and toward the direction of the camera.

CHICAGO - Earlier today, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid in an O Hare Airport parking lot where rideshare drivers wait between trips to pick up travelers. These drivers are essential workers who keep our city accessible, ensuring travelers can get from point A to point B safely every single day. The Illinois Drivers Alliance releases the following statement:

We are deeply concerned that the drivers' due process rights were violated at O' Hare today. This is part of a broader pattern of attacks on immigrant families by an administration that continues to weaponize fear and division instead of investing in solutions that strengthen our communities. The Illinois Drivers Alliance rejects unconstitutional raids, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with all hard working immigrant drivers, families, and essential workers targeted by these unjust actions. Chicago is strongest when every worker - regardless of race, religion, or immigration status - is safe, respected, and living free from fear.
We are working diligently to gather more information and ensure that every person's constitutional rights were respected and protected throughout this disturbing incident.
