Genocide isn't just killing people, it's also killing their social customs and religious rituals

And death rituals are among the most important rituals in almost every culture

To deny burials and death rituals isn't just cruel. it's a strategic snd demoralizing part of a genocidal campaign

turns out when you legitimate a taste for bigotry people gravitate to the parties that serve it as an entree rather than as a garnish

The leaked Mexican communications expose a dark reality behind those numbers: “It’s bodies on the streets,” said Alejandro Celorio, a legal adviser to Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who confirmed the leaked material used for this report was legitimate. “I respect that the U.S. government wants this shielded, but it’s frustrating that the information isn’t public,” said Celorio, who is leading his country’s lawsuit against American gun manufacturers and five Arizona gun shops. “I think the average American would be surprised that the fentanyl crisis is nurtured because of the number of firearms going to Mexico to empower the cartels.”
