But she also says in her post that was shared above that they were led into the street as the NEW protest zone and then attacked. 🤷‍♀️

I'm aware of that because of a post from this same person earlier today. bsky.app/profile/katm...

Millions may lose November SNAP benefits as the shutdown drags on Forty-two million low-income Americans use SNAP. Benefits could shrink if the government shutdown drags into November.

Illinois State Police

To be clear - 5 year wait for those who came here LEGALLY.

Staged by state police?

Video shared from this morning. I've seen they have a designated "protest area" set up at this location, but here they're in the street. Not that I'm excusing violence against peaceful protestors, but it would at least explain why they're trying to clear them.

I was just trying to figure out where I misunderstood how it works.

What Is The Net Investment Income Tax And Who Has To Pay It? | Bankrate The net investment income tax (NIIT) is a tax on investment income. Here's a breakdown of who has to pay it and how you can avoid it.

"...3.8 percent on the lesser of the following: their net investment income or the amount by which their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) extends beyond their specific income threshold." Maybe bc it can be applied to the MAGI in some cases? www.bankrate.com/investing/ne...

An important time to support our local food banks.

I see it's a net investment income tax (NIIT), but I'm confused. Says "The lower your AGI (the number at the bottom of the TAX-FORM 1040) the lower the amount of your income will be subject to the 3.8% surtax." So isn't the 3.8% being paid on your entire AGI above the cutoff?

It appears due to this. And it's not just on investment income. insuredandmore.com/who-has-to-p...

Man, this freaking guy.

I'm attending my local rally. Are you?

I don't know about their typical speed, but this administration firing 1/3 of the FEMA workforce has probably slowed things down quite a bit.

Because it is illegal

DOJ sues 6 states for private voter data, voting rolls The abnormal request has previously been opposed by election officials in both parties.

?? The list of 6 states I've seen didn't include Virginia. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Then I suggest you contact your representatives for the state government. And since I know a lot of people don't know who those are off the top of their head.... www.ncleg.gov/findyourlegi...

Obviously they should not be allowed to access this information. But I'm having trouble following how having that could lay the groundwork for mass voter purges. Can anyone please explain what I'm missing?

Well, if they don't, they're in violation of the Judge's order and they'll end up back in front of her again.

“I am adding that all agents who are operating in Operation Midway Blitz are to wear body-worn cameras, and they are to be on,” Ellis said" However, the DHS Attorney is arguing it's unlikely they will be able to issue cameras for all ICE agents and blaming the shutdown. apnews.com/article/chic...

Ordered by this same judge last week. metroobserver.com/ice-agents-i...

The order from this Judge last week requires that they must wear visible identification. metroobserver.com/ice-agents-i...

Same judge did order last week that they must wear visible identification, so at least there's that. metroobserver.com/ice-agents-i...

If he knows what they're doing is illegal, then he shouldn't have carried out the orders for the extrajudicial killings that have already happened.

I think it's safe to say that just about everyone at the protests Saturday will be Antifa. Anti-facism is kind of the whole point. As to the "screaming & wailing", that I don't know.

Yes, I can Google it. My point is, instead of making individuals go hunting for where you might have gotten your info, you could just share it in the first place. And in this case, I'm guessing you didn't have a source, bc the link you just shared only has data for 18 -49 year olds.

Gently pointing out that this would be so much more meaningful if you provided a source.
