Amid Growing Anti-Immigrant Hate, 8 Killed as Driver Plows Into Group Near Migrant Shelter in Texas

[Uncle Joe]

We get an update from South Texas, where eight people were killed and at least 10 more injured Sunday in Brownsville after a driver rammed his SUV into a group of people near a shelter for migrants. The incident comes just days before the Trump-era Title 42 policy is set to expire and more migrants are expected to seek asylum at the southern U.S. border. "I can only describe it as a hate crime. It was motivated by hate," Jennifer Harbury, a longtime human rights lawyer and activist with the Angry Tias and Abuelas, says of the car-ramming attack. She also talks about the history of U.S. interventions in Central America that destabilized the region.

3. No hate speech laws...helps a lot with the white terrorism...brown terrorism has disappeared.

What if this and all those other recent terrorist acts were…by a Muslim? …horror would be so much worse, right mass media?

With the thousands of Gun Deaths and Christian terrorism deaths and mayhem and fascism in general rampant…time to declare National Emergency and at least enact hate speech laws by decree!??

Then consider more radical action.

6. Things to do.

Go to your grocery store. See the piles of produce waiting for your purchase. Buy said produce. Enjoy not having to plant seeds, weed crops, pick produce yourself, drive the produce to your grocery store, unload the produce truck, stack produce on the shelves. Admire, then enjoy your produce purchase.
