[2/2] … 2021. He is a narcissist, and he gets pleasure when anyone says his name. I've decided not to give him any that pleasure. That's the first step in fighting him -- but not the last, or course.

Hamas drew detailed attack plans for years with help of spies, documents suggest
Sheer scale of information seized from fighters exposes Israeli military’s failure to spot signs

Atlanta police condemned for heavy-handed action at Cop City protest
Officers used flash-bang grenades, teargas canisters, tanks and snipers and accused participants of ‘terrorism’

When extremist Republican Senator Tim Scott threatened to fire workers for striking, he violated US labor law:
The Intercept
UAW Files Labor Complaint Against Sen. Tim Scott for Saying “You Strike, You’re Fired.”
“Telling workers they’ll be fired for striking is violating federal labor law, and that’s not something becoming of a senator.”
 He was urging for auto workers to be treated this way, but he is an employer himself, and he can't treat workers that way. So the UAW has filed a complaint against him.
