I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

If you're wondering how to dress for cold weather - while there is more specific advice out there - the US military spent a stupid amount of money to discover the answer is layers.
If you can swing a windproof shell that's also good.
So are hand and foot warmers.

This was one of the most chilling moments of the election year and I still think about how ominous it was. I also knew it was naive to assume the America I know would allow it to be. It was a promise of bloodshed.
THE WARNING SIGNS WERE HEAVY.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

People did similar coverage for Renee Good and I do absolutely believe that it makes a difference. It reaches a lot of low-info voters who don’t consume much political media, and it isn’t framed as political news coverage. it’s framed, correctly, as coverage of an innocent person’s murder
This is the kind of write up we see for victims of airline crashes or other high profile deaths.
