A Black Hawk helicopter. Elite SWAT teams. Last September, federal agents descended on a Chicago apartment complex in a massive show of force. The government claimed “terrorists” had taken over the building. That’s not what we found: propub.li/3T6mq7j
“This was one of the most aggressive displays of force by these [immigration] agencies in a U.S. city in, like, anybody’s recent memory. This is not normal. … This is not something that happens in this country, and it did.” -Melissa Sanchez, ProPublica reporter

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

A self portrait that depicts much of Frida Kahlo’s injuries. She is undressed to the waist but wearing a surgical corset. Her spine is visible, held together with steel. Pins & nails pierce her flash. She stares straight at the viewer, daring you to pity her. Her hair is loose & her signature monobrow identifies her as the subject. The background is a landscape of undulating green & a blue washed sky.
