I will say it until I’m out of breath but if you’re critical of colleges offering “fake” degree programs with absolutely no intellectual rigor, start with the undergrad business degree or I’m not taking you seriously. 100% fake curriculum of airport Leadership slop.

I'm looking to speak to people who rely on SNAP about what this past week has been like. If that's you, please reach out, or pass along to others. Can be anonymous.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street.
People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization.
As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show.
Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away.
Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

As I will say again to anyone who will listen, the only reason to be in the same room with these people is to take them into custody

This is a gutting loss that I’m sure is in no way a prelude to my attendance at Highmark Stadium tomorrow to witness the Bills play the Chiefs #GoBills

Guinan, from television's "The Next Generation" series is pictured. She's on Ten Forward and looks amused. She's wearing a green and purple robe outfit and a tall hat that that wraps around the head and then forms a shape above, it's hard to describe. You know those big ships on the ocean that have that dolphin nose shaped kind of deal that protrudes out in front but under the surface and you'd never know they were there except you saw a video once of a shipping yard where they put the boat in and thought "wow, it's interesting to see what the underside looks like"? Her hat kind of looks like that protuberance, but also not really. Anyways, she's wearing a cool shaped hat. Closed caption reads, "Frankenstein was his name."

I feel like boomers think about how good they had it and take credit for it. And they made a point of hoarding that good. But as a millennial, it’s been pretty horrific to have a glimpse of how much better a lot things used to be as well as an acute awareness of the decline.
