The darker-haired girl’s expression when he says “many people have said that” is so precious! I hate it when people say things like that too. Like “if you have heard this before already then why haven’t you learned!?”

I find these ladies pretty inspiring- literally placing their bodies between the police/ fed gestapo and protestors to protect protestors. The helmets are a good idea too. ETA: I also think their presence as white and surburbanite looking mothers really ruins a lot of the opportunities covfefe and his authoritarian train have for pics that support the narrative they are pushing

We’re starting to have the opposite problem: people are going out on the roads and (I suppose due to pent-up rage or frustration) driving faster and more recklessly, causing more accidents.

It is not theater. It is an invasion mimicking how the US got involved in Vietnam. Trump and Barr are sending a few “advisors” at a time to boil the frog slowly.
edit: sorry my comment is not encouraging. i apologize.
I was referencing strictly the gathering of pics and videos to futher the false narrative that the protestors are violent (and non-white) leftist extremists. The wall of moms makes that quite difficult.
I was not saying the tactic of sending fed forces to Portland or any other city is merely theater.
Edit to remove request @NoThisIsPatrick not put words in my mouth. Apparently, their mention of theater was in reference to the linked article

Yeah I was quoting the article that was linked in the comment.
I didn’t put any words in your mouth.
But I can understand hurt feelings on a misunderstanding.
It would be nice if you retracted that accusation.

Yup, we’re seeing both. Lives lost on the roads is down ~25% (traffic volumes down 30-50% at the lowest point) but we’re seeing more cases of extreme speeding.
(Full disclosure- if it wasn’t already apparent, I’m a transport policy wonk.)
(ETA - not sure why this post is Oneboxing so extravagantly compared to @vermes82 OP)

For the first time in 20 years, a majority (24 out of 40) of the finalists for a major U.S. student STEM competition will be girls instead of boys!
The Nation’s Oldest and Most Prestigious Science and Mathematics Competition
Started in 1942 as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, the Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS) recognizes and empowers our nation’s most promising young scientists who are developing ideas that could solve society’s most urgent challenges.
Each year, nearly 1,900 students enter the Regeneron STS, submitting original research in critically important scientific fields of study. Unique among high school competitions, the Regeneron STS focuses on identifying, inspiring, and engaging the most promising scientists among the nation’s high school seniors.
