An estimated 41% of Hattiesburg residents live below the poverty line.
“That's a lot of people to feed. But I want to say that they would have been taken care of regardless, because we do have a great community. Hattiesburg gives a damn—they really care about each other," Sara Watts said.

In addition to abolishing ICE and trying and jailing every single one of those fuckers, disarming US federal law enforcement so they can't casually kill people seems to be a minimum demand for the future.

In Gaza, since my childhood, we have suffered from wars, bombings, and deprivation. Despite all this, we have always sought happiness in the simplest things, All we want now is peace, only peace. I pray that this world will grant us peace, for we truly do not deserve all this destruction.

Anne Frank wrote these words in 1943 while hiding, while families were being pulled apart. She wasn’t describing chaos. She was describing process. Normalized cruelty. Systems doing what systems do when nobody stops them.

damn Trump, Vance, Miller, Bondi, Noem, Homan, Bovino and all of them to hell! I'm torn up about this good soul who lost his life. RIP Alex Pretti.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Stephen Miller is trying to start a civil war. This is a crime against every citizen of the United States. Abolish ICE, and imprison all those responsible for this abomination taking place in the streets of our nation.

why was the gun in the ICE agent's hand when the victim was murdered?
The pistol the officer walks away with has an optic mounted on it and looks very likely to be a match to the weapon it is stated that the man was carrying.

the murder victim wielded a camera. not a gun. there is no possible justification for armed federales to tackle and murder US citizens. remove the entire Trump regime!
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

I was trained by the FBI in 92 in tactics, weapons, crowd control etc etc for my work overseas as a United States Marine at US Embassies.
What I am watching, witnessing is NOT what or how I was trained in what is called 'The progression of force'.
That policy is nowhere to be seen. 1/2
