This is what leadership looks like. This is what humanity looks like. Our belligerent defense department head is not even half the human of Jay Silveria. Do not comply to unethical demands. Be kind.

WATCH: “All of it goes back to one thing: GREED… I’m sick of oligarchs & billionaires while Michiganders go hungry.”

MICHIGAN senate candidate @AbdulElSayed shows how the ultra-rich take more than they need by trying to scarf down a 12-stack burger🍔

You can put a ruler in the frame and then use imageJ to take the measurements. Consistent distance is still useful as it reduces the need to set the scale for every photo.

The photos I sent had the lids on. The LED lights are the trick. 3000k (warm light) worked best.

This works like a champ. I call it the light box of science. Cardboard box + two rechargeable led light bars ($11 + 135% trump tax) and a flat black cloth.

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism.

As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽
