In the last day, the mood here in #Japan has been described as "anxious caution." While the new #Takaichi administration is signaling "close contact" with #Trump, the average J-person on the street in #Tokyo is more concerned about a spike in gas prices and the risk of a wider ….

In the past, when the FBI or other law enforcement agencies solved difficult cases, they presented the facts professionally and cooly without excessive self-praise or aggrandizement. The current self-serving, arrogant behavior and blaming others is disgusting to listen to. What a crew of narcissists

📌Note well: 34-count convicted felon set this into motion with his words which resulted in 170+ injuries, several deaths and nearly $4 million damage to my U.S. Capitol. We will hear no more of this “Seditious Six” from the dishonest supporters of “The Seditious ONE.”

今からちょうど四十年前のこの週、私はポーランドのアウシュヴィッツへと赴きました。
その場所は「暗く、悪魔的である」という表現以外に見つからず、そこで七時間にわたり、調査、歩行、そして瞑想に耽りました。その経験は、私の心を凍らせるほど重いものでした。
特に私を苦しめたのは、人類の歴史における痛ましい問いです。民主主義の下にあった人々でさえ、なぜ恐ろしい人物に権力を委ね、その人物がいかに社会を最も忌まわしい深淵へと引きずり込んでいくのか。…/⤵️

Sources see a pattern where DHS and ICE recruitment ads primarily feature white individuals and sometimes use imagery linked to white nationalist themes, while enforcement-related social media posts frequently showcase individuals identified as Black/Brown in connection with arrests and detention.
