Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

"ICE and Border Patrol have fired their guns at people in their cars at least 14 times since July, but none have been convicted, and none have been charged with a crime. We found no examples of those agents being even put on administrative leave or subjected to any internal discipline."

Word for word the same argument that got us into the Iraq War: "Look how bad this country is"
CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:
“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.
Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

It has been estimated that by eliminating programs like USAID and PEPFAR, the Trump administration has effectively killed 300,000 people
Over 200,000 of them were children
And if Republicans cut Medicaid as they’ve threatened, thousands will die in the US as well
