Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

In other authoritarian countries, the police would just round up hundreds of people on false charges and use them as proof our cities are war zones.

Here, cops are like, "don't you touch that frog, they're live streaming everything we do!"

Just saying, it will probably get a lot worse.

I was working on a project in the bedroom, heard the commercial for this episode from the other room, put my tools down, and just went to bed. It was 7:45 PM, but that day was OVER.

Men asking computers that were trained by pick up artist. Just to close the circle.

This would come off so much more creepy than my usual awkward charm if I were still in my "picking up people in bars" days.

What a strong warrior dedicated to lethality, asking our enemies if they don't mind cruise missiles coming at them.

I guess it's always polite to ask. Give them time to beef up air defenses. 🙄

Trump: We discussed with Zelensky supply of Tomahawks.They need Patriots. They wanted Tomahawks. I may have to talk to Russia about Tomahawks, do they want them flying their way? I don’t think so. If this war isn’t resolved, I may send them Tomahawks.These are incredible and Russia doesn’t need that

Disagreeing with you is not thought policing. Believing that everyone should share your point of view is thought policing.
