Dear #Americans
Why don’t you focus on how our own government robs us completely?

While it’s horrific another woman died … men in #USA have abused women for years. This isn’t fucking new. #WakeUp #DoBetter
It’s not about immigration. It’s about control.
A Venezuelan national was found guilty of murdering Laken Riley, a 22-year-old University of Georgia nursing student whose February killing inflamed the immigration debate that became a central theme of this year’s presidential election. Jose Antonio Ibarra, who entered the country illegally in 2022, was found guilty on all charges, including the most serious counts of malice murder and felony murder. Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard made his verdict after a bench trial; Ibarra previously waived his right to a jury trial. Riley, a college junior who was an avid runner, was found brutally beaten near a wooded area on her college campus in February after her roommates and her mother grew worried when she didn’t come home from her run or pick up phone calls. Riley’s killing was a focus of campaigning Republicans over the summer, with Donald Trump using the case to call for greater border security. Trump has frequently highlighted crimes committed by immigrants in his political messaging.
