This story about the police basically just executing an innocent hostage and bystander while trying to stop armed robbers in Miami is crazy to me.

The video is unbelievable. Are police in the US just handed guns and given literally no training in how, when or where to use them? This is basically a mass shooting.

You work on Thanksgiving dealing with hordes of irritable shoppers? Instead of time-and-a-half, you get a 15% discount...on Walmart purchases.
Our worker protections and entitlements are shit. Meanwhile Walmart is enjoying around $2B in tax cuts due to the recent tax law. -

A Million People Are Jailed at China's Gulags. I Managed to Escape. Here's What Really Goes on Inside

This needs a repost because it is beyond super fucked up. “Never again” yet here we are.
There was an old woman in the camp who had been a shepherd before she was arrested. She was taken to the camp because she was accused of speaking with someone from abroad by phone. This was a woman who not only did not have a phone, she didn’t even know how to use one. On the page of sins the inmates were forced to fill out, she wrote that the call she had been accused of making never took place. In response she was immediately punished. I saw her when she returned. She was covered with blood, she had no fingernails and her skin was flayed.”
. . .
One day, the police told us they were going to check to see whether our reeducation was succeeding, whether we were developing properly. They took 200 inmates outside, men and women, and told one of the women to confess her sins. She stood before us and declared that she had been a bad person, but now that she had learned Chinese she had become a better person. When she was done speaking, the policemen ordered her to disrobe and simply raped her one after the other, in front of everyone. While they were raping her they checked to see how we were reacting. People who turned their head or closed their eyes, and those who looked angry or shocked, were taken away and we never saw them again
There’s more. It’s fucking stomach turning. This was posted yesterday but it’s important that everyone read this and be aware of what’s happening under all our noses in 2019. -

16 wtfsUnder President Trump, the FBI’s official counterterrorism priorities have included “Black Identity Extremists,” “anti-authority” extremists, and “animal rights/environmental extremists,” according to leaked Bureau documents obtained exclusively by The Young Turks. The documents, many of which are marked “Law Enforcement Sensitive” and “For Official Use Only,” also reference a mysterious plan to mitigate the threat of “Black Identity Extremists” with a program codenamed “IRON FIST” involving the use of undercover agents.
...
While the documents depict concerns about violent black extremist attacks, they do not cite a single specific attack — unlike white supremacist attacks, of which several prominent examples are provided.
...
So grave did the Bureau consider the threat of black extremists that from 2019 to 2020, using new designations, it listed the threat at the very top of its counterterrorism priorities — above even terror groups like Al Qaeda.

Hard to stop white supremacists when the cops are in on it. -
