Millerโ€™s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Millerโ€™s immediate removal

Headed off scene. Local community understandably very upset. I still personally don't have any details on the reported shooting incident that led to today's protest.

WBEZ has a story out; remember things are still developing and details can change quickly.

Locals, CPD, press, a few protestors and legal observers remain on scene but the feds are gone. Air is still foul from all the chemicals. One protestor found one of the gas cannisters feds were deploying into the crowd

So Mike Johnson just told members of the House to stay home until 10/14.

He *really* doesnโ€™t want to swear in Grijalva and face that vote on the Epstein files.

This *also* means the government will be shut down for another ten days at least.

There is bigger trouble ahead for this economy.

This economy works well for a small part of the population - the super elite, maybe 10 to 15%. But not at all for the other 85 to 90% of people.

Costs of healthcare (+ uncertainty), inflation, utilities, home ownership, unemployment - all risks.

After the Trump administration sought to privately email some crucial spreadsheets instead of filing them on the public docket, a judge scolds:

There are cops who go years without unholstering their weapon on duty. The faster someone reaches for their gun, the bigger the coward they are. These ICE fuckers cling to them like a babyโ€™s pacifier.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

There are over 2,200 peaceful protests planned for October 18. Ensuring all of those events and organizers have the training, support, and resources they need is a massive undertaking. Please pitch in if you can to help make No Kings Day historic!

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

I donโ€™t see any reason to believe that they wonโ€™t keep going bigger, harder, more violent until they finally cross some line. I guess that line wasnโ€™t shooting & killing an immigrant in the street. Idk what it will be. I just know each week, they keep escalating.
