People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

It's good to talk about your love for Wikipedia. It's good to donate. But I firmly believe that it's even better to become an editor. Create an account. Make an edit (don't worry, you can't break things). Visit the Teahouse. Not necessarily in that order.
As the free online encyclopedia turns 25, it’s facing political opposition, AI scraping, dwindling volunteers, and a public that may no longer believe in its ideals. www.wired.com/story/wikipe...

The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.

The median annual income in Nigeria is about ~$1000 a year. Most populous country in Africa.
The median annual income in India is ~$2400 a year. Most populous country in Asia.
Worldwide, it's about $2750.
When we say "tech peaked in the 1990s," I think we omit "For rich Americans and Europeans."
