Federal agents again record observers; others load older man into the back of a minivan as another captive tries to escape β€’ The TRiiBE Here's a roundup of federal agent sightings and activity in the Chicago area for Oct. 2

Another day of horrors in Chicagolandβ€”

Immigration agents slammed the southwest side again, a fruit vendor kidnapped in Cicero, arrests and sightings across the suburbs, and feds were seen on video hassling people at the Pulaski orange line stop.

How is this remotely constitutional? Our Supreme Court has made a mockery of the separation of powers.

Notable that the Senate GOP would rather preserve the filibuster than fund the government as they wish.

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often

Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?"

A: yes

β€œThe president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal…”

RFK JR says he first met Charlie Kirk in July 2001 where he went on his podcast, 'we were soul mates'

- Kirk was 8 years old in 2001

Trump saying β€œI don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment into πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβ€ is how you know he knows that’s exactly what he did by raiding the Hyundai plant and mistreating hundreds of South Korean workers

Not hard to imagine, really. Charlie Kirk literally called Floyd a β€œscumbag” and blamed his death on taking fentanyl.

US military just killed 3 more people in another deadly strike on a vessel in international waters around South America allegedly "transporting illegal narcotics" from Venezuela.

No evidence presented. No due process.

Understand this fact:β€”this is a precursor to what he will do to US citizens.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

I hate to beat a dead horse on this, but the GOP has never been (and will never be) serious about corporate oversight, and the press should not help them pretend otherwise

While we were distracted by Charlie Kirk, the incompetence of Kash Patel, the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro and the GOP voting not to release the Epstein files

Republicans in the Senate were busy deploying the nuclear option by shredding the filibuster

Thanks so much, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema

I just assumed that this is what they’d do before they β€œrelease the documents.” Sloppily, probably.

The firearms ownership ban for trans people is patently unconstitutional, and I'm willing to risk sounding naive in saying the courts will immediately reject it, including SCOTUS. But meanwhile, this signals where the Trump admin is moving on trans people. And it's terrifying.

State steps in to ensure access to COVID-19 vaccine Public health order counters potential limitations set by the USFDA

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them.

States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
