- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Not only that, but this city street allegedly in Minneapolis or Portland is 100% empty except for some random protester, a single ICE agent in full military gear, and some rando half a kilometer away.
The man holding the blower is not only nonchalant as fuck, but his facial expression looks confused like it's his first time using one.
Either:
The ICE agent is using an ungodly amount of pepper spray and is continuing to spray despite knowing he's involved in some Wile E. Coyote shit right now.
Perfect angle of the action and flawless timing while holding the camera completely steady. They're literally positioned like actors in a stage play.
I'm sorry: I can't imagine who looked at this for more than half a second and thought: "Yeah, that checks out." There's no "probably" about this without some deeply entrenched wishful thinking.
Oh, and the doorway of that red brick building on the left is casually just like four meters tall.
Bro just hit the perfect parry, let him be.
Reflexes honed over thirty attempts at beating Father Gascoigne.
The majority of the time, all I see are people ignorant and wishfully thinking from both sides. It's no wonder the US is in the state it's in.
