Attn NC: ICE and CBP rumored to be headed back to the land of the long leaf pine. Info in the thread below for further action.
Last Thursday, Speaker Destin Hall told a reporter “ICE and CBP have a difficult job… we just ask that they come back.” We just didn’t know he meant Thanksgiving week.

NEW: The Court has ruled that the National Guard deployment to DC is illegal and granted a preliminary injunction.
As we made clear from the beginning: the US military should not be policing American citizens on American soil.
This is a victory for DC, Home Rule, and American democracy.

We didn’t fight against fascism, racism, and tyranny only to pretend the symbols tied to that history are less harmful now. Thankfully this has been walked back, because this was the opposite of what our country needs.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

(1/9) The CG and Hate Symbols: What We Know So Far (a thread).
Yesterday, WaPo reported that the CG has removed swastikas, confederate flags, and nooses from a list of "hate symbols". This is both technically correct, and an oversimplification.

No better way to signal intent to give illegal orders than to blow up at the lawful suggestion to not follow illegal orders.
Do not follow illegal orders.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Great thread on today's delayed September #JobsReport from @aaronsojourner.org. Keep in mind the number may be revised downward in coming months.
We are grateful to our colleagues at BLS who are doing the best they can to produce quality data under extremely challenging circumstances.

In sum,
1. As of Sept, labor market remained in decent shape but moving slowly in the wrong direction. Substantially weaker than a year prior.
2. Available signals suggest this pattern has continued to now. Will get more info in the weeks ahead
3. Real wage growth has stalled, flat or negative.
