The secession talk is problematic but if this trend accelerates, at some point it will become a situation of taxation without representation and he fascist looting/repression of wealthy blue states will hit a tipping point

Same time that Pritzker is telling city and state officials to start arresting and prosecuting federal officials for assaulting Illinois citizens.

OT1H, this is clearly really bad.

OTOH, our federalized design might end up being an absolute godsend.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

ICE spotted near Kenwood Academy today.

Dear Kenwood Parents and Guardians,
The safety of our students is my top priority, which is why I am writing to address a situation that occurred near our school this morning. We have received reports of federal law enforcement activity in the neighborhood near our school building today.
We immediately shared these reports with the CPS
Office of Safety and Security, and this team reached out to the Chicago Police Department (CPD) for more information. All members of our school community are safe. Today's school day proceeded smoothly and as planned.
I want to emphasize that school is the best and safest place for our students. Our staff is well-versed in the proper protocols for keeping our students and school community safe in case federal law enforcement representatives attempt to enter school property or interact with students or staff. As a reminder, our school and CPS WILL NOT coordinate with federal representatives, and we WILL NOT allow ICE agents or any other federal representatives access to our school unless they produce a criminal judicial warrant signed by a federal judge. I also want to remind you that CPS created a resource packet (English I Spanish) that includes guidance on the following topics:

I was in my feelings so I made a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Of course I can't eat most of it now because sweets make my stomach hurt, but I've reserved a couple of slices for myself. The rest has already been claimed

My last comment and this is me talking to myself also and as well… we gotta get moving friends. And it’s not to lose weight or whatever … that’s nice, but it’s to have good quality of life when we do make it past 60. When you see 80 year olds dancing its cause they have stayed active
