A Jewish man from Chicago spoke against the ongoing genocide in Gaza during the third day of protests against the 2024 DNC in Chicago.

"...there are a lot of Jews - I don't think it's been well represented in the media - who oppose what's happening [in Gaza]..."

One week after the police murdered George Floyd & a few days after ordering the National Guard to quell the popular uprising, MN Governor Tim Walz came out of the Governor's Residence as tens of thousands of protesters rallied on the street outside. Walz was confronted by impacted family members and then listened to speeches for about 45 minutes before going back inside: https://youtu.be/alfb8CxeGEI

There have been at least 64 people killed by police in Minnesota since Walz became Governor in 2019. Aside from the murders of George Floyd and Daunte Wright, families of victims of police terror have very rarely received justice in the courts in MN.

Gov. Walz recently publicly criticized and planned to take Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty off the case for pressing charges on Ryan Londegran, a State Trooper who fatally shot Ricky Cobb II during a traffic stop.

Gov. Walz said to Unicorn Riot "Voices need to be heard and as we said the murder of George Floyd has shook the world and it's the conscious of Minnesota, this is our responsibility."

#BreakingNews For over four hours, around 15 pro-Palestine activists have been conducting a sit-in inside The Center on Colfax, an LGBTQ community center in Denver, CO, which protesters say has ties to Israel. Photos from Gay Liberation Front for Palestine.

Nearly 1,000 people shut down the streets of Utica, NY on July 13 in response to the police killing of 13-year-old Nyah Mway on June 28.

The protest occurred during the busiest weekend of the year, when the city hosts the Boilermaker Road Race, one of the largest 15K races in the country.

It pays to understand who funds groups like Heritage Foundation and the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) as such entities often draft conservative policy and legislation for politicians:

On the evening of June 28, Mway and his friend were stopped by three police officers from the Utica Police Department and two Oneida County Deputy Sheriffs on their walk home from Bible study class and a graduation party.

Body camera footage was released by UPD, but only from three of the officers who were on the scene. The footage shows a pedestrian stop, otherwise known as a stop-and-frisk — a controversial tactic of interrogating and searching someone based solely on “reasonable suspicion.”

Nyah Mway, a 13-year-old refugee, was killed by police in Utica, NY the day after he graduated from middle school.

Officer Andrew Citriniti and Officer Patrick Husney were also in pursuit of Mway. While Officer Patterson was still on top of the subdued child, Officer Husney shoots Mway in the chest. The boy starts bleeding out on the sidewalk.

Mere moments after the police encounter, Mway starts running down the street. In one of the body cam videos, Mway turns toward Officer Bryce Patterson, who is then heard shouting, “He has a gun!” Patterson tackles Mway to the ground and repeatedly punches the boy in the head.

The student-led movement to pressure America's universities to divest from Israel has largely been met with violence & intimidation by authorities.

Why does data mining about protesters matter? FBI's COINTELPRO depended on careful record collection. DHS units like Office of Intelligence and Analysis and affiliated fusion centers have attracted criticism. Cobwebs software was part of 2020 Portland spying controversies.
