“It’s worth remembering that the mass movements that have given us the rights we have as Americans today are often not popular in their own time.”
quick aside: in light of yesterday’s anniversary of the murder of 4 students protesting peacefully at Kent State in 1970, it’s worth remembering that the mass movements that have given us the rights we have as Americans today are often not popular in their own time.

Clint Massie sexually assaulted children within his church for twenty years.
Many begged not to go back.
The church leaders knew and did nothing to protect the kids.
They held meetings & told the girls to forgive and forget. That talking about it would make it “their sin”.

They need to start laying charges against these agents.
Start with the man who shot Marimar Martinez five times and then bragged about how he put “seven holes” in her.
They need to learn they’re not above the law.
That “just following orders” is not a defence.

Ofc they did — they’ve been offering to repeatedly for 2 yrs, while being rejected.
Btw, this is despite *I* immediately breaking the ceasefire multiple times.
Also, keep in mind that *H* has only ever held a tiny fraction of hostages, compared to *I*; & mostly soldiers, not civilians, unlike *I.*
