Recovering journalist and paleoanthropology geek who feeds many animals. Please, no DMs. I'm old, creaky and married. Also, the Oxford comma is overrated.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

I don't know how to yell any louder.
