A Ukrainian grandmother disabled a Russian “sleeper” FPV drone with her bare hands by removing its fiber-optic spool.
The drone had been lying in wait before the woman approached it and pulled off the spool, preventing it from being used.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Alamo, TX. 2 ICE goons "take" a minor at a stoplight and pepper spray the other minor driving the car. Both young men were taken into ICE custody. A politician in this area had to get involved in order for both young men to be released. Both young men are now home.
