Predominantly black would indicate whoever drew the districts was trying to suppress the pull of the black population, no?

Her interrogation can be found on YouTube. It's been a while, but I think you hear the audio of the incident. It was definitely deliberate.

Why is his smile so off-putting? Is this the first time I've actually seen it?

I have a tattoo that means "I don't know, I don't speak japanese." It works when an English speaker asks me what it means, and it also worked with the Japanese when I lived in Japan and didn't speak the language.

That's not what's going on here, but okay I guess.

Edit to insert a comment I wrote elsewhere:

In case people aren't clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren't infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don't be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel's ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

They are the soldiers responsible for operating the missile defense system.

A channel called Knowing Better has a pretty good video on this. Don't yell at me for the youtube link.

I think that's why they said between the maintenance cost and market price.
