A confrontation between community members and militarized federal agents appears to be unfolding on Chicago's southeast side, near the intersection of E. 105th St and S. Ave. N.

Details still emerging. From what I've seen federal agents have deployed at least one can of some kind of gas.

I used to know her a little bit, we had some mutual friends back in the day and I'd see her around pretty often. anyway, I didn't like her as a person so I've avoided her career like the plague and have a dissenting opinion as to her alleged genius

Do Oregonians really hate umbrellas? (Study)

Earlier this month, we polled over 1,700 Oregonians to find out if the stereotypes umbrella use were true. Spoiler: They kinda are. But, it turns out, there's more to it than that.

Despite the successes of their 50 yr project to galvanize white folk & take autocratic, repressive power in government, the courts, business, etc., they keep losing on the culture war. Church attendance is down, white kids are fewer, folk stand up for civil & workers rights. So it must be a cabal.

Ray Lopez is either delusional or stupid, probably both

Ald. Raymond Lopez, 15th, a determined Johnson opponent who has vocally and uniquely criticized the pushback against Trump, sent the president a letter Friday criticizing Democratic politicians who “are refusing to work with your administration for the good of their constituencies or the nation, simply because you are at the helm.” He called on Trump to give legal status to the millions of undocumented American residents with no criminal records.
