#LRAD is now being used for crowd dispersal. This sonic device can cause permanent hearing damage, and physical problems.

This video offers some ideas, but using soft cardboard curved towards the source appears to be the most effective deflector.

As stated, be mindful of the people around you.

People who begin by shooting animals they find unpleasant or not worthy of living often turn out to be serial killers. Remember that when you think about Kristi Noem.

If they've decided not to charge Homan, so the investigation is complete, and he's now been dispatched to run the show in Minnesota, shouldn't Dems or public be able to demand release of the sting tape where he takes the $50k in a CAVA bag to determine if he's an appropriate new sheriff in town?

In Chicago, ICE tried to seize a Latino manโ€”but his Black neighbors refused to let it happen. They stepped in, stood tall, and claimed him as their own.

Thatโ€™s what solidarity looks like: when the people say no, the raid ends there.
This is how we win: together.๐Ÿ”ฅ

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Here's a thought, Mike

If you were in Washington DOING YOUR JOB instead of enjoying a three month paid vacation while millions of Americans struggle to buy food-watching as more money goes to fund ICE's attacks on ordinary citizens instead of helping them

Maybe you'd have a freaking clue

No, Zohran Mamdani Isnโ€™t a Communist Trump tries to smear the NYC mayoral candidate. But itโ€™s Trump himself who uses Communist tactics.

"Mamdani isnโ€™t a Communist. Heโ€™s a democratic socialist. He wants rent control, free childcare, and tax hikes on the rich. These ideas, whatever their merits, are familiar in democracies." Trump's policies? Less so. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-zohran-...

I think the worst thing Utah governor Spencer Cox could've done was read those inscriptions live on air. The video is going to become a meme on its own and something other mass shooters will aspire to. It will be seen as an ultimate troll.

That's how these shooters operate now.

Meiselas: After Charleston, Obama didnโ€™t blame Republicans. But MAGA leaders, starting with Trump, say Democrats must be eradicated for Kirkโ€™s deathโ€”without knowing who did it?! Thatโ€™s maliciously provoking more violence.

Nancy Pelosiโ€™s husband was brutally attacked in an act of political violence. She never called for revenge. The left didnโ€™t seek violence against the right.

Sheโ€™s urging the opposite: calm the rhetoric, listen to our better angels, and stop the slide into chaos.

Hate should have no harbor anywhere nor shoukd political violence.

One of the andidotes is hope; Public schools are full of moments of hope that change lives.

These stories are why Iโ€™m so excited weโ€™re relaunching #PublicSchoolProudโ€”lifting up moments like these every week.
