In a past life, I was a reporter in Putin's Russia.

During that time, a leading Russian opposition journalist told me he feared interactions with law enforcement because a police officer could easily plant drugs on him to fabricate a criminal case.

A few years later, a totally apolitical acquaintance was arrested for participating in an unsanctioned protest. Only he hadn't been protesting; he had been sitting on a park bench. Four police officers grabbed him — one holding each arm, one holding each leg — and carried him away. After two days in jail, he was convicted of the same charges as many other protesters: blocking traffic and chanting anti-government slogans. He was lucky to get off with a fine.

These are two "small" examples of life in a police state. Notably, neither involves lethal force.

And that wasn't Russia at its worst. Since then, the Kremlin has de facto outlawed dissent.

So if you think it's desirable for Americans to be "terrified" of law enforcement, if you believe lethal force is a justified response to any disobedience (legal precedent states otherwise), you don't know what you're asking for.

"The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant.

In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do."

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

The fact that most of you will die in the same tax bracket you were born in but are ANGRY that the poorest of the poor MIGHT be given a piece of bread and that is somehow stealing from you is insane

Believe it or not, I actually WANT my taxes to fund SNAP & Medicaid, not golf trips for millionaires & military tanks for war

We’ve now hit 15 of 16 historical markers of authoritarian takeover.
Only one remains — open conflict.
This isn’t a warning anymore. It’s a timestamp.

Good luck opting your child out. The state’s largest school district, Seattle, says parents are forbidden from opting THEIR OWN CHILDREN out of lessons about gender and sexuality.

🚨UPDATE: Polish CEO Mr. Szczerek of the private company Drogbruk, who grabbed a hat intended for a child on live TV at the US Open, breaks his silence.

“"I understand that some people might not like it, but please, let's not make a global scandal out of the hat. It's just a hat.

I remind you that insulting a public figure is subject to legal liability. All offensive comments, slander, and insinuations will be analyzed for the possibility of taking the matter to court.”

Donald Trump has not golfed in 13 days. Today would be 14 days.

The longest absence since taking office in January.

He is dying.

After their bankruptcy and closure of every store, like most Americans, we thought Bed, Bath & Beyond no longer existed. 

We wish them well in their efforts to become relevant again as they try to open a 2nd store.
