15 year-old high schooler and student organiser Zaire spoke at a Press Conference at the Atlanta Liberation Centere:
"Students are facing threats of suspension and intimidation for organising walkouts. Why are we being punished for doing the right thing while ICE gets to act with impunity and is murdering so many in the streets?"

Time for a protest round up!
Starting, of course, with some words from the streets of Minnesota.
"The Alex Pretti shooting was a public execution. There's no other way to put it. The working class are the majority, and if we want to not have a society where few exploit many for a gain they don't really need, then the many need to take power."

I would like to ask her : Why did she “change sides”?
What might have helped her do it earlier? -

I mean, I guess they kinda let the whole world know that Olympic games happening in the USA would not be safe for participants....
ICE policing an international event is dark absurdity funny.

@fkamiah17 As you know, I'm a wayward half-baked Norwegian who hates America and I'm in Texas, which I hate even more. And I need a crash pad to get the Texas stink off me, go skiing, and work on jumping the pond. Trump says "nobody wants to live there", but fuck, these people have me SOLD. Plus there are TONS of Norwegians there.

@fkamiah17 I assume that Italy can simply not allow them into the country. No one has a right to enter a country if that country blocks them. Seems like that is the answer. If the US folks with them don't like it they can leave as well.
