Amazing that the President of the United States doesn’t feel the need to speak to Americans today.

@royalpratt I stay for the same reason and do my best to avoid noise, but it’s really just limiting choices from an already limited pool of options and the window of what’s even available to us is barely open.

@LeighGiangreco The windows have been an insult to anyone who lived through the glory days of Fields storytelling. I work at an arts school and know lots of young artists who would live for creating something like that.

A federal judge was taking Border Control Cmdr. Gregory Bovino point-by-point through her temporary restraining order restricting the use of tear gas, telling him that “kids dressed in Halloween costumes” do not pose any threat.

@PreetBharara Hi from Chicago! What do you think the Supreme Court will decide for Trump’s emergency request for additional national guard troops here? There is definitely nothing close to an insurrection, just ordinary folks blowing whistles and recording evidence of provocation.

@Joseph_Fasano_ You bet.

[Heather Cherone @HeatherCherone]

The incident is marks the third straight day that federal agents have deployed tear gas against Chicagoans and the seventh time in 22 days.

Federal agents tear gassed the Irving Park neighborhood at Kildare and Waveland, sources including the local alder tell the @chicagotribune. This is at least the sixth neighborhood tear-gassed by agents as Judge Ellis schedules Border Patrol Chief Bovino to come testify next week

The level of spontaneous street-level resistance to DHS immigration raids is astonishing. Within moments of an arrest, dozens of people come out to protest. And the longer the Chicago operation goes on, the bigger the protests have seemed to grow.

No kings - Chicago

[Colin Boyle @colinbphoto]

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few mins ago & the end of the protest is nowhere in sight
