The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple video exhibits showing federal officers using extreme force against nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration & Customs Building. This is part of its effort to block the federal deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

A second, independent autopsy, funded by former NFL quarterback and activist Colin Kaepernick, has revealed blunt force trauma to Reed's head.

This casts serious doubt on claims he died by hanging alone and fuels a fight for the truth.

Russia's Tuapse oil port burned overnight as Ukrainian drones struck a tanker and key fuel terminal.

OSINT and NASA FIRMS data confirm three fires in the harbor. Local authorities report damage to a ship and the port's oil-loading pier โ€” but claim no casualties.

The fear is two-fold.
1) Better the devil you know. Putin is a pain in the ass, you have no idea who or what would come next.
2) The nukes.

Now, I have an opinion on 2. Murmansk is where most of that shit is stored. If Russia collapses, Sweden and Finland should do an audacious coup.

Black Man Lynched - Cover Up

A second autopsy revealed Trey Reed suffered blunt force trauma to his head.

On 15 September, Trey Reed's body was discovered hanging from a tree on campus. Police quickly labelled it suicide.

For many, the conclusion felt premature and unsettlingly familiar.
