What that photo doesn't show is how violently federal agents threw the woman to the ground.

Chicago might be the biggest blue trophy for Trump’s immigration crackdown. Nick Miroff went there to see how residents are trying to fend off ICE.

In the late 1990s, Bokeem Woodbine was in, "The Big Hit," a film about bumbling assassins. One of the film's running gags is Woodbine's character becoming increasingly misogynistic and so obsessed with jerking off that it affects his personal relationships.

Pretty sure I'm aware of that.

In 2019, Democracy protesters found they could diffuse crowd-dispersal munitions, like tear gas, with a traffic cone and a water bottle.

This is great! We should add specifics about our kit(s). I see too many people rocking swim goggles and airsoft helmets, unaware of how dangerous that is during a heavy impact event. Saw a guy wearing a weighted training vest as body armor, and...well, the obvious happened.
