ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

In 70s in the mountains west of Colorado Springs there were ebony-black squirrels with splayed ears like this. They were out-bred by city squirrels.

It was the 1st time I started to understand evolution, ecology, & climate change (it had previously been too cold for the urban squirrels)

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

People who act like they know everything about WWII Germany tend to pretend they don't know shit about what happened on US soil to American citizens of Asian descent during WWII. Until it's time to pretend to give a shit when Mr. George Takei mentions the subject in a post.
Basically.

About time, all of NATO was under US command.

Now it will just be the 1/3rd based in the USA.

Not too far down in the comments is someone who points out that this phenomenon started after the Civil Rights Act was published.

White people (I am 1, but not that crowd) got mad they were the bad guys. Just like Christians decided that Jesus guy liked folks they hate.

And here we are.

👇🎯 @willbunch.bsky.social is right. The reason all the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - from 1865 to now - is because there are never any actual legal, personal, & professional consequences for the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics. That must change this time.
Gift article: "We won’t get anything resembling democracy until we clear that widespread debris, and that means sending a bunch of these liars to prison, because they are the real criminals. America desperately needs truth and consequences."
The lying is out of control. People need to go to prison. | Will Bunch
The outrageous lies of the Trump regime, from ICE shootings to a commerce secretary's Epstein falsehoods, must be punished.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony
