    The system has been empowering and looking the other way on right wing terrorist groups for decades. They systematically hunted down the leaders of the civil rights movements, they planted crack in the inner cities….all of our elected representatives send hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel to literally commit a genocide. The citizens of Israel have universal healthcare, free college and monthly payments per child from our tax dollars….our system is not fixable. There’s nothing good to rebound to the genocide is here now

        which is why they’re terrorizing MN. They are undoing the BLM protests.

        ‘‘if mass protests manage to get any results at all, even on a local level, then this is what will happen to your state.’’

        IMO the point of the George floydd protests was justice system reform, not a conviction.

        Seems like the people have to go bigger then the floydd protests to get that justice system reform we so desperately need.

        There were no reforms and the mass incarceration system continues to grow beyond anything comparable in any country and these prisons are for profit slave camps and the facist police union stands with the ice Gestapo

            I’m an older person. I have a family and friends and I do lots of things but I’ve also seen my friends and family ground up in our system. I agree humans have survived a lot but we really can’t underestimate the dire situation we are in now. We can not allow this genocide to continue on our soil it will only escalate if we don’t stop it.
