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.

Nor does it stand up to any basic economic sniff test. BY DEFINITION an acquired company cannot continue unchanged.

Companies are acquired for ROI. Their valuation accounts for the current expected future growth. The whole point of an acquisition
is thinking “we can do better”.

companies will say anything to get mergers approved! and how can current leadership guarantee anything when they're about to be under new leadership! it's always placative nonsense

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Billionaire mail bonanza today. Three ads about how Prop 50 will "destroy" democracy, two about how raising sales taxes to keep county hospitals funded are just for special interests (poor people, you're a special interest now!) and two from the union busting group telling me to quit my union.

This is the sort of cereal brand they invent for a Saturday morning cartoon to show how boring the lead kid's parent is.

Discontinued Foods! @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social · May 6

Bran News (1988-circa 1990): Part of the "bran-mania" trend of the day, this short-lived cereal consisted of o-shaped bran pieces, promoted as being extra crunchy, and featuring "a hint of cinnamon". Available in "Honey Roasted" and "Apple Cinnamon," the latter containing pieces of dried apple.

An off-white cereal box that reads "Hint of Cinnamon Bran News....Incredible *crunch* in a high fiber cereal". Beneath this text is a description: "Honey Roasted with a Hint of Cinnamon", next to an image of an old-timey TV from which Abbott and Costello pop out. In the background is a glass bowl filled with milk, brown "o's" and raspberries

The surface danger zone for sandwiches really depends on the ingredients tbh. An Italian sub, for example, has a high frag rate because of the bread consistency but better aerodynamic range, while a croque monsieur and the Rueben have less range but more splatter.

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 10h

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
