Different continent, same violence.
America, America, this is you.
Renee Good and Ahmad Rajabi died because paramilitary authoritarian forces decided they did not deserve to live, and because the entire legal and political structure exists specifically to ensure those agents never face meaningful consequences for murder.
The moral arc of the universe bends toward justice only when we bend it ourselves. Thus, we must resist. Resistance means refusing to accept any of this as normal or inevitable or just the way things work. It means protesting to demand prosecution of the agent who killed Renee Good under Minnesota state law. It means organizing to defund and ultimately abolish ICE entirely, because an agency with a $170 billion budget that terrorizes communities cannot be reformed into something humane.
And it means understanding that Palestinian liberation is, in fact, tied to all of us. And, as Palestinians have taught the world, we must take freedom into our own hands. From Minneapolis to Palestine, occupation must be dismantled completely and entirely, or it will keep killing and keep expanding until none of us are safe from it.
