There are a dozen stories every day that would be "-gate" level scandals in any other administration but never break through nationally b/c the media is too busy sucking up to Trump and staying in his good graces.

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.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

I’m doing a “Seven Days of Data Stories” project, where I’m trying to get better at building interactives while sharing things that I think are important.

This is the first! Visualizing the flow of tax money, and why 11 states pay into the federal government while the rest are dependent.

I think people who are not US citizens can receive SNAP, but the percentage who do is low at 3%.

Undocumented immigrants cannot receive SNAP.

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...
= IHUFFPOSTI "Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

The Washington Post editorial board comes out in support of Trump tearing down the East Wing and building a massive ballroom. That is wrong. But what is unethical is that the owner of the Post, Jeff Bezos, is donating millions to build the ballroom (via Amazon) yet they did NOT Mention that.

This @davidzipper.bsky.social article has a number of bangers, including the fact that EUROPEAN nations build freeways significantly cheaper than the US.

That's literally the one transportation thing Americans think they're good at, and they're getting smoked.

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.
If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."
