Previously Trump’s reflecting pool disaster was considered to be just a joke-and still more evidence of a completely corrupt presidency But it appears he may have created a biohazard instead A little Superfund site, smack dab in the middle of Washington
"ProPublica’s tally of kids harmed by tear gas or pepper spray is nearly four times the number cited in a recent congressional report that relied on news stories, yet it is likely still a vast undercount."
ProPublica@propublica.org · 4mo agoNEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

So now Mark’s creeper specs do what they are intended to do and the company can claim users are circumventing the “guardrails” and violating the TOS. Everyone gets what they want, except for the rest of us, who get screwed.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
