Just look at photojournalist Linda Tirado (killermartinis here, though I'm not tagging her in), shot in the facce by a pepper round in 2020 while covering the George Floyd demonstrations in MPLS.
She not only lost her eye, but suffered brain damage which will be fatal to her (she's in hospice now).

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard.
She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").
Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

![Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.
Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.
“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreib66z6racbfo5llgukbvmldxq44zaa7nqetkcs5cwxfez6xcec5oy@jpeg)

A beautiful early fall weekend in downtown Chicago. Sun-splashed lakefront. Families enjoying the museums and city sights. Packs of men in military fatigues carrying high-powered long guns.
Which of those images doesn’t belong?

The fact that an agent literally said "fuck them kids" is just icing on the unconstitutional cake.
They enjoy being able to play badass while they terrorize neighborhoods.
