Things aren’t looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it

Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

    More than a mother and a nurse, those were two people who were on the frontlines against ICE. They’re role models.

    Glad others are following. Sad that’s what it took to make them follow.

      Sure. I didn’t imply they were not more. I implied they were in the service of life. Something the people who murdered them are not.

        Wasn’t implying anything about your comment, was just adding to it, no worries.

          Okay, I just would not want anyone to get the impression that by not listing every way in which they were not like their murderers I somehow thought they were less deserving in having a life.
