An arrest of some sort is happening it appears. No idea why. The crowd is irate.

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

one major takeaway I've gotten from covering ICE here in Evanston, IL is that the paranoia runs very, very young. elementary schoolers as young as 9 have been keeping tabs on immigration activity. one of the first reports of Halloween-day activity at Asbury & Oakton came from a 6th grader.
