“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

The lady in this photo is autistic and ICE agents dragged her out of her car as she tried to go to the doctor.
This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I didn’t see Jimmy Kimmel crying for CK. I saw a man who went through something stressful on a global stage, with a lot of employees who rely on him, and who has been getting threats.
Like him or not, I saw a nervous system response.

Hell of a piece to have written Tuesday night. My newest piece in @slate.com follows up on my August piece, looking at the right-wing anti-trans ideology and how that leads us into a rapid descent towards out and out fascism.
The Bullets That Killed Charlie Kirk Were Not Engraved With “Trans Ideology.” But That Won’t Stop the Campaign to Brand Trans People as Violent Monsters.
Now is the time to resist this dangerous strategy, before it’s too late.

The issue is not whether regular people will know why these flags are at half mast but that the state and its leaders know who Kirk is and decided to lower the flags in the first place.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
