The Texas DPS police which failed the children of Uvalde are now brutalizing American kids at UT Austin on behalf of the genocidal child slaughtering government of apartheid Israel and its local stooges. Absolute losers.

Georgia state police acting on behalf of apartheid Israel assault a handcuffed protester with a taser on the campus of Emory University

The raven who comes to my prison window everyday must be prepping for babies. He’s here asking for snacks at the bars way more than usual. Can’t wait for him to bring his babies to see me like last year. Life is much better with a window after spending a decade without one.
