Another sad example – Aleksandr Gabyshev, a Yakut shaman and anti-Putin political dissident, arrested and sentenced to involuntary, indefinite confinement in a psychiatric hospital. His case has sparked condemnation of the political abuse of psychiatry in Russia. twitter.com/OlgaNYC1211/st…

With a Russian state media crew filming inside the Capitol building, state TV reporter pointed out the spot where insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt was shot. He tracked down Babbitt’s mother & asked her on-camera whether she was planning to sue the government.

No, you’re not experiencing déjà vu—but it certainly feels that way.

When a resident caught a career criminal breaking into his apartment building, he called 911—Cops responded & after a foot chase, caught the thief also wanted for numerous other break-ins & menacing with a gun.
