1) So, still working on repairs. Currently scheduled for Oct 7th, the Tomato is going in the shop to have the timing belt, alternator and AC/power steering belts and head gasket replaced, to the tune of $1500 total.

So CBS now relies on free press for their reporting.

What, it's been a week and it's already pure propaganda?

The novel as a literary form hasn't been around that long and may not be around much longer and acting like it's the most important or influential or legitimate form of literature is stupid.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

Precisely how does one “abuse” a constitutionally guaranteed right?

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street. 

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore. 

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new 
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

I think a lot of people don't quite grasp how little documentation of a legal identity anyone had before, like, the 1930s. No social security number, no green card, no driver's license. This made you reliant on your social network; OTOH nobody could force you to write your name a certain way.

It doesn't matter how many regular people listen to him, the messaging is getting to the people they want it to get to.

The gutting of the VRA in recent years is one of the topics mostly likely to get me in a fight with folks on social media, mostly because so few even know what Shelby v Holder was, or to what extent voting has not been free OR fair in much of the South, in the most racist ways imaginable.

The Supreme Court will be hearing oral argument in a pair of cases that threaten what little remains of the federal government’s ability to protect voters from racial gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act

I mean let's face facts if you're saying this proves Biden could have gotten a ceasefire you either haven't paid attention to what's been happening in Gaza since Trump came into office or you never cared about Palestinians at all (or both).
dinosaurbob.bsky.social
The only reason BiBi agreed to the ceasefire now is because he’s down to, around, 20 living hostages and he can’t afford to let them all die. Not unless he wants to spend the rest of his life trying to not wind up like Rabin.
