This picture confuses me. Is the guy with one knee on the ground trying to push the gunman's arm away? Can someone who has watched the video this still comes from let me know?

It became unusable for me when it added these ridiculous, frequent "course refresher" levels. Im intermediate-advanced & suddenlyI have to do 5 whole lessons of stuff you would learn on literally Day 1, like "a man" "the apple". 20 min of clicking "a man" "the boy" over & over again. No thanks.

Thanks and don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it happen. Just didn't agree with seeing it called "easy" and "doing nothing"

It's not "an easy thing for Americans to do" gtfo wut. "Take a week or so off" = eviction, not being able to pay for food or medicine, becoming unemployed. This quote is so flippant An American w the job security to not get fired for failing to show up for a week is practically nonexistent.

I don't feel guilty but i do always feel aware when it's "incorrect" - however I have convinced myself that it is in fact correct because it is what the medium calls for. We aren't required to speak in complete sentences, so conversational messaging doesn't require it either

This is not a good sign.
One day before the Trump administration deployed U.S. Marines to confront protesters in Los Angeles, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to direct the military to detain or arrest "lawbreakers," a move one expert called "a grave escalation."
A letter sent Sunday from Noem to Hegseth, obtained by the Chronicle, requested that the Pentagon give "Direction to DoD forces to either detain, just as they would at any federal facility guarded by military, lawbreakers under Title 18 until they can be arrested and processed by federal law enforcement, or arrest them."
The military is generally barred under federal laws from taking part in domestic law enforcement. Noem's request may be a step toward the administration sidestepping those laws by invoking the Insurrection Act, two legal experts said in interviews.In the letter, Noem referred to an "emergent Request for Assistance (RFA) to aid in resolving the situation in Los Angeles," and used strong language to describe what she said was the threat posed by people protesting a series of raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
"We need ... support to our law enforcement officers and agents across Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Federal Protective Services (FPS),"
Noem wrote, "as they defend against invasive, violent, insurrectionist mobs that seek to protect invaders and military aged males belonging to identified foreign terrorist organizations, and who seek to prevent the deportation of criminal aliens."

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

There is no such thing as "far left" in US politics. Democrats keep losing because they won't stop chasing the middle instead of actually articulating an alternative and fighting for it.

Nominating the most laughably unqualified candidates was an intentional ploy to test whether this congress would go along with anything, no matter how patently absurd. If they would not call his bluff on these appointments, they would not stand up to him on anything at all.

Yep, & if the regime had stopped short of targeting them, they would still be perfectly fine with it happening to the left. BUT we should still embrace any & all rhetoric that is NOW saying we ALL have rights/free speech is for everyone, no matter the source. It's a crack we must widen

They are ALL wrongly taken, period. 75% have no criminal record. A past criminal record is not grounds for torture and lifelong confinement in a foreign concentration camp. If this is a "war" as the regime asserts, then every person carrying this out is a war criminal.
