Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams
There are *already* standards on much of this.
The issue is DHS isn't following them!

The OG Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game ever, still. But, the answer to this question for me has to be Star Fox 64. I remember being 3 or 4 years old and just raving about it to my best friend as we sat in the sandbox on the playground at daycare lol.
What's your "origin" video game?
Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you.
I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer.
So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

In June I did a calculation of the downstream environmental and harm of a strike on a refinery like this, and I’ll repost it here:
The Moscow Oil Refinery processes 12M tonnes of crude a year, ≈ 240,000 barrels a day. It's in a residential area, with people living within 500m of the tanks.

One of the most notable targets was the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya, where a major fire is visible this morning.

Would this be called WWIII or Military Operation I?
Germany is preparing hospitals for a possible Russian escalation with NATO, Bloomberg reports.
Berlin estimates up to 1,000 casualties a day could require medical care.

Breaking News: CNN and MS NOW journalists were denied access to the White House after President Trump announced a ban on three news outlets because of reporting he disliked.
CNN and MS NOW Reporters Barred From White House After Trump Announces Ban
The prohibition on certain journalists was a stark escalation in President Trump’s war on the media, and will probably face a legal challenge.

I beg your fucking pardon
It looks like the EU is seriously preparing for an attack by Russia. A lot of senior defense officials came out of briefings spooked. Since then, various governments including the Swiss! have issued defiant statements.
