I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:
They'd rather do electoral gamesmanship, in an incredibly stupid manner I might add, than make sure people can actually afford health insurance.

These are armed invaders occupying American cities and yet Democrats can't even agree that this gang of fascist thugs should be abolished
Some screenshots from itp_chicago IG. You can see how federal agents stake their presence around some of these communities in intersections in the middle of traffic and sidewalks in front of businesses. This feels very particular to the SW Side with Little Village being a prime target for this.
