What a photo!
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.
DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

In the wake of George Floyd, Republicans passed legislation allowing drivers to run over pedestrians for "driver safety."
Now as a driver attempted to drive Away from ICE fascists, Republicans support ICE killing the driver because "a vehicle is a weapon."
The hypocrisy & cruelty is the point.

Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born
Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 3.9% to 4.3% while native-born employment has decreased by a similar amount

The people who most loudly complain "Why can't these immigrants just stay in their country???" are the same ones who most loudly celebrate American military and CIA interventionism in these countries to overthrow their governments.
