The Vermont state senator in the Hitler chat group is playing the, "I am but an innocent smol bean" card.

Samuel Douglass hasn't decided yet if he'll resign: www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...

This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.

Armed officers in military-style gear confront a group of civilians during a tense outdoor standoff; one officer points a rifle at a young man who raises his hands defensively while others shout in the background, with trees and houses visible behind them.

A pregnant Amazon employee asked for a chair to sit on—and wound up homeless
