Violence runs on ignorance, fear & misinformation fomenting hatred. It is always about power, petty, political, sexual, economic. Education in empathy, trust, respect & desire to approach truth & seek justice is the response.

The F.A.A. and the Pentagon were engaged in discussions over the military’s plan to begin testing counter-drone lasers against cross-border threats from drug cartels.
Obvious question: Why would "drug cartels" threaten drone attacks against the country where they sell their drugs? Just more BS.

That’s what we’re trying to do here, to allow the public to know which of their neighbours are involved in this.”

So instead of spending billions on ICE brutality, terrorizing working, tax paying, immigrants and their families, why not:
A) Have the Government issue IDs through SS admin (you have all the info).
B) Pass immigration legislation to give a path to citizenship to working people and families.

Sorry Jackie we need gov agencies that respect the law

Fact is Fascism never left Italy.
The US saw to it in 1946 when it left 90% of Judges and prefects in place. Then in 1948 the CIA got behind the Christian Democrat coalition of Church, mafia and old fascists.
It wobbled in the 70s but Moro was assassinated and the slide from Berlusconi to Meloni.
