A coalition of activist groups has initiated a federal lawsuit against the City of Chicago, alleging unpreparedness for the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC). The lawsuit, reported by various news sources including the Chicago Tribune, argues that the city's refusal to allow protests near the DNC venue is a central issue. This legal action comes amid heightened expectations of significant protests, reminiscent of historical political events, with comparisons drawn to the tumultuous 1968 DNC. The ACLU has also voiced concerns about the city's readiness to handle the expected demonstrations, specifically targeting the Johnson administration's policies.

You guys know these student protests are just the start of a Summer of Insanity culminating in the DNC, right? It’s about to get lit in Chicago, like 1968 lol
The DNC convention this year will make the 68 convention look like a playground. It will be bad. They will probably use those gates they have for inauguration. https://t.co/zjWOgQpAyo
