The Cubs and the Tigers, both underdogs, both making it to game 5 gives me hope. Looking for it anywhere I can find it.

My favorite part is the person who says “I don’t mean to be horribly offensive” just before they say something horribly offensive.

2/3 ...at the link below. (My responses are in boxes in blue text.) This group's name, "Atlantans for Safety," rang a bell. Per it's email, it is "affiliated with Atlantans for Effective Government," apparently led by someone who worked on Mayor Dickens' 2021 campaign & worked to support #CopCity,

3/3... & this group worked to oppose putting #CopCity on the ballot, including seeking the names of everyone who signed petition.

Anyway, I responded as you can see. But sometimes just seeing who is behind something can be answer enough. #TheAtlantaWay

I've argued against a 25-year extension of all the (already) 20+year-old tax increment financing districts (TADs) in Atlanta. Someone sent me an email from "Atlantans for Safety" arguing against my explanation for why extending the TADs is a bad idea. Their email & my responses are (next)...

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Sanctuary for All UIC, a campus group, released a statement confirming ICE had detained two people unaffiliated with UIC outside one of the campus buildings. They have since been released. It is unclear how the university is proceeding to inform and protect students from future ICE actions.

Community alert

10/8

9:30pm

Sanctuary for all UIC has confirmed federal agents were on UIC’s campus behind the student services building (1200 w Harrison) sometime between 3 and 4pm

Agents abducted 3 individuals who are unaffiliated with UIC and left the area

Illinois state police were seen on the scene shortly after.

The 2 individuals have since been released.

There is a video of the abduction being circulated. The exact source and time it was taken are unknown.

At the time of this posting 9:30pm there is no other known ICE activity on UIC’s campus.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

With the MLB playoffs on Fox Sports 1 and promos being run for Tubi it’s a good to remind folks that #Tubi is Lachlan & Rupert Murdoch's/FOX's streaming media platform.

WARNING: Watching Tubi funds Fox News

Tubi is Rupert Murdoch's latest scheme to use entertainment — and especially the Super Bowl — to fund his right-wing agenda and assault on American minds.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

The irony of Mr. English bringing this up, when he and the Mayor have the political power to end it but don't want to buck #TheAtlantaWay, is rich.
