One Battle After Another. Loved it.

The lasting thought I have in my head is “What if No Country For Old Men was also Dogma?” And somehow that’s a great thing.

WGN statement: “Earlier today, a WGN-TV creative services employee was detained by ICE. She has since been released, and no charges were filed against her. Out of respect for her privacy, we will have no further statements about this incident.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/w...

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Perry: The federal government is "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

That's it. Thanks again for following.

Frankly, all Americans should be eager and take joy in showing them how much this isn’t true.

More great news out of federal court today.

This was a particularly appalling case in which HSI agents took advantage of this man to get him to sign away his rights during his interrogation inside the ICE Broadview facility.

New: U.S. attorneys moved today to dismiss felony assault charges against Paul Ivery, an intellectually disabled man who was arrested at a protest outside the Broadview ICE facility on Sept. 27.

Ivery agreed to waive his Miranda rights while in federal custody.

Minimum demands from here on:
- Abolish ICE immediately
- Prosecute and jail all ICE leaders nationwide, and any ICE goon who can be proven to have violated the Constitution
- Prosecute and jail all Trump administration officials responsible, inc. Cabinet level
- Abolish Dept of Homeland Security

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

It's one thing to be politically divided into red states and blue states. We are now being militarily divided into red states and blue states. It's crossing the Rubicon, a bright-red flashing warning that the constitutional order is coming unglued, in a way that will have monumental consequences. /x

Aside from shattering core state sovereignty, it's saying one state's Guard (TX) is somehow more loyal to the national authority than another's (IL). It's treating the latter as something bordering on hostile, or at least alien. One part of the country and its soldiers are more America than another.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

“Going to Princeton” makes a case for best @themountaingoats.bsky.social album. Not just best live album either.

The mastering and pressing are fantastic. The energy comes through the recordings. The setlist will please just about any fan, new and old. Vibrant versions of old favs.

Cover of Going to Princeton by The Mountain Goats. Peach cover background with illustrated bus driving into sunset. Bus has a possum graphic on it. Album is sitting on a blue couch next to a pillow with a jaguar on it.
