Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;
Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

My constitution often craves red meat. My favorite combo of red meat and veggies is a ribeye and steamed broccoli.

Modern autocrats don’t always wear uniforms or rule by fear. They use elections, media control and polished images.

Understanding this “spin dictatorship” is key to protecting democracy, especially in the U.S, writes an expert on authoritarian regimes:

Autocrats don’t act like Hitler or Stalin anymore − instead of governing with violence, they use manipulation
Autocrats today are polished, appear mainstream and use the media, not overt repression or violence, to gain public support and consolidate power. They govern through a ‘spin dictatorship.’

“I think Comey’s indictment is momentous because it tests a principle that has protected American democracy for 50 years: Presidents should not direct prosecutors to charge their political enemies,” according to a law professor who studies legal ethics.

Do not underestimate the pain and suffering caused by this incompetence.

These are real people affected and I've talked to several of them living through this turmoil starting with DOGE and continuing with this.

It's stressful, depressing, exhausting, costly, wasteful and more.
