Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

Chicago ‘Splatatouille’ was probably a squirrel, say researchers
Scientists from University of Tennessee, Knoxville, look at 37 species to identify cause of ‘rat hole’ in pavement With a front paw outstretched and its tail at an angle, the creature that fell on to wet concrete in Chicago left quite the memento mori. Now, researchers say they have unmasked the identity of the victim, revealing the famous “rat hole” was most probably made by a squirrel. Continue reading...

Chaos at 105th Street and Avenue N. A couple bricks and possibly an egg got thrown at a squad of federal agents who were standing in the intersection. Two cars — a white SUV and a red one — got trucked out after a chase and a crash, per neighbors. At least three detained from this confrontation.

Neighbors said there was lots of jeering but the first bit of gas appeared to have come from fede in response to a thrown egg from a teenager. Someone kicked or tossed the can back and it escalated significantly from there. Everyone on the block - very supportive of each other, lots of solidarity.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.
Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

On Sunday, Albany Park residents came out of their homes to link arms and shout down ICE agents attempting to abduct one of their neighbors. They were successful, even though in response, agents ran over one woman's foot and deployed tear gas.

Federal Agents Deploy Tear Gas In Albany Park as Neighbors Block Immigration Arrest
It is the latest use of chemical irritants deployed by agents in neighborhoods. The incident was also the latest example of increased neighbor resistance to immigration enforcement in Chicago.

That last episode was the worst of what was otherwise a fun season. Too neat and seemed like the plot made an extreme serving-the-Cinematic-Universe turn at the last minute (even before the cliffhanger).

I walked nearly five miles along Geneva Lake, thinking about Big Foot and the Potawatomi who lived here for centuries and were forced to leave on this Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
My black and white photo of a statue by Jay Brost, a local bronze sculptor and founder, called “The Last Glance” in Fontana, Wisconsin. It depicts Chief Big Foot in Reid Park, the head of the last local Potawatomi Tribe in the area. The Potawatomi lived around the lake for centuries, but in 1836, the U.S. government forced the tribe to move west. This statue depicts the Native American’s final glimpse of the lake his tribe had called home for generations. My photo of a plaque honoring Big Foot and the Potawatomi’s Last Glance of their home before they were forcibly removed by the U.S. Government. Fontana, Wisconsin

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Nobel Prize people should say they'll never give prize to a person who sends the military against their own citizens and engages in massive deportation efforts and watch how much he loves trophies.

Yeah, in hindsight, was mostly just excited to see Danny show up in the Giffen/Clark run. I do think Giffen tried to make it more weird than any of the previous post-Vertigo revivals did.

Just about everyone vulnerable has been told to stay inside. There are literally hundreds of trained emergency response people on the streets of the 1.8 sq mile neighborhood. ICE is driving through alleys looking for anyone who’s brown

This is Fugitive Slave Act stuff + foreign occupation
