Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

Use your voice: call your representatives in Congress. It's easy. You don't have to be eloquent; brevity is good. Urge them to take action against the unconstitutional actions of the Trump administration. This can still be a government of, by, and for the people if we speak up together.

This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

It’s laughable witnessing these yearly railings against some imaginary conspiracy and being told we need to “keep Christ in Christmas,” by people who don’t seem the slightest bit interested in keeping Christ in their Christianity the rest of the year.

Math is not about principles. Math is not about ethical standards.
Math is just formal logic.
And logically, we can only be rescued from Trump with Republican help.
We need conversion, not persecution.
When people we find reprehensible show the seeds of conversion, we need to accept it. 🧵

I predict Trump will pardon Maxwell as a way to lash out and because it will be the ultimate loyalty test for the GOP (and his base)

Charlie Kirk has left a hateful, dehumanizing legacy of words that Conservative Christians are either choosing to ignore in their zeal to canonize him, or they simply share his racist, phobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, supremacist sentiments.

The Shameful Christian Idolatry and Fraudulent Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk
As news of his shooting broke, the Jesus-washing of Charlie Kirk’s life by Conservative Christians began almost immediately.

Mike Collins is an idiot. There are 55M people in the world with US Visas. They’re not all here at once. There are about 185 types of visas and in FY2019 there were 3.2M people here on temporary visas.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
