“About 50 people of all ages stood outside the gas station Men in Bears hats and women in pink stretch pants blew whistles and filmed on their phones”

People are talking about jury nullification, which is always a good conversation to have but in the context of the sandwich hurling I think it was just a not guilty verdict versus jury nullification

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict: “I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything…. “That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants… Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

Happy National Sandwich Day

This—agents driving around in circles and provoking the community—has gone on for hours at this point with no discernible goal other than to inflict terror. They also just fired pepper balls at someone.

Ellis: "Moreover, the public has a strong interest in having a government that conducts itself fairly and according to its own stated regulations and policies."

Ellis: "The public also has an interest in its citizens' bodily integrity, the right to peaceful protest, the right to assemble, the right of peaceful free exercise of religion."

Ellis notes people being tear gassed, staring down the barrel of a gun and being "slammed to the ground with their head bashed into the street." "All of that would cause a reasonable person to think twice about exercising their fundamental constitutional rights."

Fellas is it good when a federal judge interrupts your closing argument to explain the law to you? Follow up question. How does your answer change when she includes "because they've been staring down barrels of guns." Good or bad, do you think? We'll find out tomorrow at 10am!

Ellis: "If they are making changes to what they do because they have been tear gassed, because they've been hit in the head with a pepperball — twice. Because they've been staring down barrels of guns. Then that is what matters."

if this is how they’re acting under a temporary restraining order imagine what they would do if there wasn’t a TRO

¯\_(ツ)_/¯🇺🇸

Ramirez continues to describe the scene in Brighton Park on Oct. 4, and the arrival of an armored vehicle on the scene. Tear gas was eventually deployed. "Pretty terrifying overall," Ramirez says of her thoughts on the incident. Here's what thay scene looked like from the ground, btw:

In areas densely packed with tall cattails, muskrats create a “patchwork” of small openings that allow plants of different heights to grow. That, in turn, creates habitat for diverse native wildlife.

History: The City of Detroit just elected its first female mayor: Mary Sheffield.

I want a tracker, with arrows! I want interviews with their current and new neighbors! I want weekly followups until they get a new driver's license in their new state!

I am legit so glad the colorado ballot has "this will raise the tax by this much for people in this income bracket" and it's like $300,000 or more you have to pay +$486, everyone else no change. We gotta get this on larger scale ballots and more of em in general, let the people know

I'm not sure that telling sports fans to "turn off the televisions" right now is a good idea.

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

A blinding white light portal opens up behind the mound and the starters of the 18-inning game each emerge in wrestling spandex and the game gets settled by fistfight between Scherzer and Glasnow, who we can only tell apart by height and eye-color because they're each wearing royal-ish blue
