the extent to which this administration is out of control is really summed up by the fact that they immediately went with “this was an armed terrorist there to kill law enforcement” knowing that video from multiple angles completely disproving them was out there and would be seen by everyone

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Albert Einstein and psychologist Sigmund Freud greatly admired each other.
Here is a portrait of Einstein, painted by Ferdinand Schmutzer, that was part of Freud's personal collection.
It is now housed in the Freud Museum, Vienna.

I visited Łódź in Poland last year.
The clothes from those imprisoned in concentration camps were shipped to the ghetto in Łódź and the Jews there were forced to rework them into "new" clothing which was then sold to citizens in the fashion shops of Berlin, Hamburg etc.

If the former husband of Sturgeon is found to have stolen money from the SNP (and nothing is proven until it is - you know, that old maxim “innocent until proven guilty”), it will be the SNP that is the victim.
Sturgeon has been found to have committed no crime.
