“I’m here begging for you guys to do something.” The sister of a 9-year-old girl killed in the Uvalde school rampage tearfully pleaded with Texas lawmakers to pass gun safety legislation. Jazmin Cazares also questioned why so many security measures failed.
Wow. Eva Mireles, a Uvalde teacher, called her husband and told him she had been shot and was dying.

If Julian Assange exposed Russian war crimes, US officials would celebrate him as a hero. But because he exposed US war crimes, he gets hunted down like a criminal. The hypocrisy is endless.

Unfortunately powerful people are already trying to rehabilitate police and give them even more money, so we need to say, again, that what happened in Uvalde wasn’t police failing. It was the outcome of us relying on cops to keep us safe when that is not their purpose.

Texas Police now admit that they had officers IN THE SCHOOL from 11:35AM until the shooter was killed at 12:50pm and did virtually NOTHING that whole time.
Even when they heard more shots they refused to make a move.
Even when kids called 911 they refused to move.
