According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

Most philosophy majors don't stumble into billions. That money turned Thiel into a self-serving Sophistry major. Most philosophy majors are poor and end up opening a little Hegel shop on the corner opposite a Starbucks.

I am waiting for the horror stories from interviews with runners who had to experience the ravaged city as they toured 26.2 miles of the urban center and vicinity. Note that 12,000 runners ran the Portland marathon a week ago. No interviews by any press with any runners 1st hand views of the city.

Which begs the question… Are trump and Miller guilty of Insurrection? Of treason? They are clearly violating and destroying our Constitution, and government at the behest of the Heritage Foundation and Christofascist terrorists. Why wouldn’t treason, conspiracy, and insurrection apply to them?

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

OP-ED: Navy veteran Laura McTaggart counters Defense Secretary Hegseth's focus on physical fitness, arguing his view is one-dimensional and ignores that true combat readiness relies on technical skills and critical judgment. This is where men and women are already held to the same high standard.
