Mexico's President Sheinbaum opposes US and Israel illegal war; "The UN has stopped fulfilling its role ... Countries with greater military power prevail, that cannot be." "It's not about who opposes or supports a regime; it's about civilians who pay for it, the bombing of a school full of girls."

In Chicago, cops randomly pull high schoolers waiting for the public bus out of crowds, after school, take them to the police station. Parents have to come get them. This is how you learn your kid is entered into databases even though they weren’t arrested.

Cops are violent to kids all the time.

FBI agent who investigated Renee Good's death resigns, sources say Sources for CNN say the FBI briefly opened a civil rights investigation into Jonathan Ross, the officer who shot and killed Renee Good earlier this month.

FBI agent resigns after Good civil rights investigation shut down. "She was then ordered to reclassify it as an investigation into an assault on the officer.... [the DoJ's] Todd Blanche [told] Fox News Sunday... the shooting did not warrant a federal investigation." www.kare11.com/article/news...

Renee Good’s murder was not just a homicide, it’s a hate crime against women, called femicide.

Good told ICE, "That's fine, I'm not mad at you" and was shot 3 times in the head point blank, Ross yelled the misogynist slur, "fucking bitch" after killing her. #3E #endimpunity

ICE Is Okay With Renee Good’s Killing Read the use of “deadly force” documents laying out the logic

"Now the legal penalty for not complying fast enough, or complying with the wrong set of conflicting instructions being screamed at you by multiple people, or reflexively hitting the gas when there’s a gun pointed at your face, is death by firing squad."

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
