The crow.

I was out for a walk with Ben and Charlie, when I noticed what looked like a large bird in a bare tree across a field. Initially, I didn't know what it was and hoped for a raptor of some sort. But it was an American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos). This is kind of a minimalist photo; I like the way it looks.

And then it turns out part of this tech is Dahua cameras used to surveil Uyghur prison camps but with the Dahua logo removed

* 55 National Guard
* 38 Border Force
* 1 Police

182 people had official PoW status confirmed by ICRC but 48 were missing in action.

Almost every town they visit in East Africa has an old Portoguese fort in it which is now serving as the town's jail. Kinda makes you think
