Satellite images published by Yle show Russia rebuilding a Soviet-era garrison in Petrozavodsk near the Finnish border. The site is being cleared and prepared for new barracks, likely linked to Russia’s new 44th Army Corps. Most of the unit is still fighting in Ukraine. #Russia

the Eugene Police Department narrative that protesters broke a window and attempted to enter the federal building is a lie. The entire basis on which they declared a riot and CBP justified its later escalation was a lie.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

The guys in suits laughing behind Trump as he insults a journalist while refusing to answer the question about how he's stealing money from taxpayers with a bogus IRS lawsuit... Trump surrounds himself with such pathetic losers.
This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

He's looting the U.S. Treasury, people. Most crooked dictators find covert ways to get rich. Trump intends to simply order his government to transfer money into his bank account.
