It has finally reached a point where a .6mm Rapidograph pen is both too expensive and difficult to find, and I can no longer justify asking the students in my Lettering class to get one. Truly the end of an era 😞🙏

For the record, this is what you do when you're given orders that cross a clear moral boundary. You quit. I'd tell all you cops and ICE boys to take note, but it seems we may fundamentally disagree about where those boundaries are.
So, if I'm reading this right:
4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,
and
6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

GoFundMe’s Terms of Service absolutely do not allow funds to be raised for the legal defense of a violent crime (including murder!). Please report this asshole.
Go to the “Report a Fundraiser” page and fill out the form. This was how I filled out the form since there wasn’t an option for violating the Terms of Service.

I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online
various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.”
That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.

Because the woman below survived, the Federal government was obligated to charge her with the crime she was allegedly committing when shot, meaning they had to investigate it. That investigation showed she was innocent.
Since Ms Good did not survive, they don't need to investigate what she did.

As a reminder: this happened here in Chicago, though without loss of life. ICE agents shot an observer/protester in her car. They initially claimed she illegally threatened ICE officers with her car.
All charges were eventually dropped, with prejudice.

I have a favorite classroom to teach in because it's the one I have the clearest emergency plan for.
Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.
