You all remember when our government paid artists to make cool Antifa posters to encourage Americans to help fund the cause?

American WW2 propaganda poster titled 'Don't Let That Shadow Touch Them' encouraging Americans to buy war bonds. It shows three children frightfully trying to avoid the shadow of a Nazi swastika.

Some of my cat's favorite things to chase or attack...

- anything attached to a string (incl. the string itself)
- end of a yard stick
- core from a roll of tape
- plastic Easter eggs
- ping pong balls
- hand spinner 'helicopter' toys

All super cheap to buy, make or you already have it at home.

More cameras folks. More cameras (and apparently whistles too!).

Even as legit law enforcement, they have no expectation of privacy while in public. As long as you're not actively interfering with them, it's perfectly legal to record them.

Oh, are we bringing up the Constitutioal rulebook again like we're living in normal times? That's always fun.
