This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I still see hope and love in them. About 21 years ago I rescued Sally Ann, a lab/pit mix. Same expression in her eyes. She was awesome. She left this world at age 13. Still miss you SallyAnn.

Given the instability of the Trump regime, why would anyone with a stroke of sanity, decide to invest in the US? How many foreign brands have already de-invested due to tariffs? Who needs that marketing department? Who wants to get caught up in some war against a NATO country?

How on earth did they not know, the embarrassment that would come from this?
Where can I buy a bubble like the one "mid-level and senior officials within FIFA" live in?
This was always going to be a terrible idea. It was very clear from the beginning that FIFA had made a total arse of itself.

Extraordinary times. Glad to see Greenland, Denmark and the rest of Europe, standing strong. Hopefully Trump will be deterred. He likes to bully but is a coward when he meets real strength.
In a stunning move, thousands of Greenlanders – including the PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen himself – marched straight to the U.S. consulate in Nuuk, waving Greenlandic flags, chanting "Kalaallit Nunaat" (Greenland is Greenlandic ) while screaming "Greenland is NOT for sale!"

Use your guns to stop ICE or STFU. You spent decades telling the world the Government could never overreach because of your 2nd Amendment and you're so tough. The time is now. The next President should send ICE to confiscate weapons. Armed Americans are too scared to use their guns to stop anyone.
