at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Rather than stopping the shutdown of health care for millions of Americans, Senate Republicans put $500,000 government payouts for themselves into this CR.
And last night, House Republicans refused to take it out.
GOP priorities are clear — and protecting your health care isn’t one of them.

🚨 BREAKING: Republicans slipped into the CR, at the last minute, a corrupt January 6th kickback to funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank accounts of 8 GOP Senators. Thanks to Trump, the shameless grift gets worse & worse.
Shutdown deal lets senators sue for $500,000 over data seizures like those in Jan. 6 probe
A provision of shutdown deal authorizes senators to bring lawsuits if federal law enforcement seizes or subpoenas their data without notifying them, with potential damages of $500,000.

As I've been thinking for the past few weeks, I doubt the files will be released. They *will* threaten/force/coerce/quid pro quo enough republicans to vote against it.
That's just how they operate.

sexual abuse is a public crime because it is a crime against the sovereign, the same way murder is, or larceny, but also suicide too.
we lose track of this and it’s a critical concept. the question is: does the sovereign care and, if the answer is no, it’s time for a new sovereign that does.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

It's been rumored for a bit they would leave mid-November. It's not the weather, just the natural lifespan of a ~225 person operation.
Before Border Patrol arrived, ICE was still here. They were smashing cars to pull people out of them, taking people from court and check-in appointments, etc.

Bovino left LA to come to Chicago and it's not like LA saw immigration operations stop - just less showboating from his crew. So even if these circulating rumors over the last week turn out real, I'm pessimistic about how much change to expect on the ground.
