"New Wall Street Journal (!!) investigation finds the department is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for simply filming or observing officers." @mprnews.org interview with one of the reporters.

Not porch season yet here in MN - but it was a lovely sunshine-streaming-through-the-windows-hanging-with-the-dog-on-the-couch day... given how much everything else sucks rn. πŸ’š

It might also be nice if, along with recognizing the US troops who are apt to die, they showed any recognition yet alone compassion for the civilians there who already have.

and by "...and others" she means the innocent civilians - already victims of a violent regime - who have already died and will continue to die while "our" leaders talk about it like the possibility of US casualties is the great threat here.

I love this show, but: (SPOILER ALERT)
BS. He's not snatched and held without due process or sent to a 3rd nation like irl cases. His high end atty negotiates a settlement - he stays after sacrificing his life's work because the regime is 'reasonable.' No need for resistance.

Don't disagree about Shumer - but is "Trump is laughing at you" really our new standard?

Interesting... as someone who was part of the movement against NAFTA and GATT from the left (because the agreements were very much anti-labor, environment, etc., and prioritized US interests over others) it's so interesting to see the right now working to dismantling it.

While agents of the state get to obscure their identities to avoid accountability to the people.

idk about that - but pretty sure Ken Burns is making the documentary as we speak.

Doesn't that suggest the hissy fitters are taxed? 'Cause that does not seem to be happening. Or maybe it's a tax on the rest of us for "making them" throw hissy fits by challenging their idiocy?

Saw some claims that this is AI. The source, Creatures of Resistance, says not. Hope that's true (but, they don't credit the artists or other images, so...).

Note: I flipped the image per comments that, in the original, the loon was facing the 'wrong way'.

My comment wasn't in bad faith. Your initial post did suggest what I asked about. It may not be what you in your heart of hearts intended. I hope that's the case. Don't plan to be in your feed long enough to find out.

Pretty sure you know that question's in bad faith and my disagreement with the insensitivity of your initial post doesn't put me to the right of you on that or any other question.

Pretty sure you didn't just equate murdering two people in the streets with 'disturbing your brunch.' Because that would qualify as Hillary-level vile.

They told us there were 3k here. If 1000 have already left and 'several hundred more' will be leaving, that leaves more than a thousand, hardly a 'small' force yet alone a return to the 150 they claimed was 'normal' here.

So - by his own logic, the key to ending what he sees as our immigration 'problem' is ending white supremacy.

tbh - I'm in Minneapolis. My first thought was "ICE". I want to be thinking about air quality and climate change again. 😒

'course - if you discourage the folks who want to go to elite and/or supposedly 'left leaning' colleges from enlisting, you're left with a MAGA military which I guess is their intent... Sorry - took me a couple of beats to get there.

I'll be interested to see what impact this pattern has on enlistment rates given how many young folks go into the military at least in part as a path to college.

AND you're posting about it here where strangers will engage with you in small talk about it. As others have said: relatable. πŸ«‚
