A person I interviewed for this story told me her 8th grader recently read Night by Elie Wiesel in school and observed “it’s sort of like what’s happening here right now” in case you’re wondering how things are going for Chicago’s kids.
On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.
ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago for Halloween—and Parents Are Fighting Back
Fear and a whiff of tear gas hang over festivities this year. In response, even people who aren’t usually politically engaged are mobilizing.

Interesting fact: there are now about 10% more people working in the software industry in North Carolina than worked in our state's furniture industry at its peak in the 1980s.

Allison Riggs won the election for NC Supreme Court. Changing the rules after the election to throw out the votes of tens of thousands of North Carolinians who followed all of the rules is a travesty.

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.
Story to come. The topline: If this holds, this would almost assuredly result in an overturned election, as Griffin trails by 734 votes and many of these contested ballots are disproportionately Democrats over Republicans. #ncpol

If your argument is that non-white people are never qualified for any jobs and all their achievements are invalid, you must erase the story of a man who was specifically excluded from MLB due to his race, then instantly proved to be of the best players alive (despite constant, vicious racial abuse)
I've asked Major League Baseball's Vice President of Communications if Major League Baseball has any comment on the DoD erasing Jackie Robinson's page from the site and changing the URL to "DEI Sports." I'll update this story if and when the league weighs in. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
