🚨🇫🇷 UNE DÉLIVRANCE INATTENDUE À NANCY : interpellé et menotté, un jeune homme s’apprêtait à être placé dans un véhicule de police lorsque ses amis sont intervenus. Des tirs de mortiers ont alors visé les policiers, créant un mouvement de panique et de confusion. Le jeune homme en a profité pour prendre la fuite en courant, toujours menotté, et parvenir à s’échapper.

High school walk out in Denver where a student correctly told locals news “We are living on stolen land and borders are imaginary lines, and to see such horrible people do such horrible things is just so sickening.” When a pro-ICE reactionary confronted them, the kids beat ass.
