Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

I Refuse to Stay Silent. Will You? Read more here.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

MAGA Turns on Trump’s Top Lawyer Todd Blanche discovers that your place is never totally secure in the modern conservative movement.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche is a Trump loyalist. But now right-wing media is turning on him, after they say he quashed an elaborate scheme to rescue a prominent 2020 election denier from her prison cell.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Work requirements are going to cost a ton to implement, at a time when states will have less administrative resources, and despite evidence that they don't work

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

five years ago bari weiss was trying, unsuccessfully, to get herself fired. now she’s running CBS News. that’s some michael jordan shit.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

Understand that the Reichstag Fire—the faked emergency Hitler used to seize power—is happening right now in America.

Trump and his goons are lying about crime and who they are arresting to provoke the violence they will justify martial law with.

It's the fascists' final maneuver to end democracy.

The image is an X post by The Bulwark (@BulwarkO ) from 10 hours ago, stating: "I think in a free country we should be able to post onto the internet, 'hey, there are masked agents on Broadway and Vine and not have the government or the tech oligarchs prevent us from doing that.' Shame on you, Tim Cook." The post includes a verified badge and a ship logo.

Apple caved to the Trump DOJ and removed the anti-ICE apps from its App Store. Cowardice.

Wurmer says the 1792 provision was repealed.

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

Javier Milei’s woes deepen over ally’s links to alleged drug trafficker Libertarian party’s top candidate in Buenos Aires says $200,000 he received was legitimate payment for consulting

This is the failed libertarian govt in Argentina that could get a $20 billion U.S. taxpayer funded bailout. Collapsed the economy by artificially propping its currency, ensnared in an ongoing bribery scandal, and one of their top candidates admitted receiving $200k from a narco.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.
