I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

What kind of bird is this? I just saw something similar, but with black head, white throat and soft gray body. It was beautiful but can't find it in any of my PacNW bird books.

Literally hold this man accountable in ANY WAY other than fining him, because he has the money and openly says that doing what he wants and just paying the fines is how he does things.
Better yet, stop hiring his companies.

Hit & Runs. Blowing red lights & stop signs. Going the wrong way on 1-way streets. Driving vehicles with no license plates. Perhaps our local police could start enforcing basic traffic laws for all our safety?

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.

When Pam Bondi tried her hand at insult comedy this week, four Senators asked her about antitrust corruption. It's a real point of vulnerability, and the pressure has led to a few better outcomes. More importantly, states and the public are squarely attuned to fighting corporate power. From me:

How Antimonopoly is Enduring Despite Trumpian Corruption

Public pressure and partisan attacks have yielded some new cases, and citizens are waking up to corporate power’s harms.

I think Halligan is failing to give all the info. Which is why Comey has said he’s filing a motion to dismiss on abuse of the grand jury process. I’m guessing though.

i know grand juries have a relatively low bar for bringing indictments but i find myself wondering WTF is up with some of these grand jurors

Perry: "Chicago's history of strained policing community relations is extremely well documented, but also fairly nuanced. It's something I think state and local authorities understand extremely well, and it can be hard for federal authorities, and certainly those from Texas, to appreciate."
