The fact that this wasn't a set piece is what makes it special. I just crested a hill.

I have been as impressed by the normal people of this country as I have been disgusted by elite institutions and every bit of optimism I have that we are going to make it comes from that
It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

This country does not deserve Becca Good's grace. I cannot fathom how measured and composed she is during what must be surely the most nightmarish moment of her life.
Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

There are 357 days left in 2026, but you would be hard-pressed to top Naoya taunting as a frame kill mid-combo as the most disrespectful anime moment of the year.

Renee Good is at least the fifth death to result in an aggressive immigration crackdown by the Trump administration. Other cases include a person fatally shot by ICE outside Chicago and two people who died after being struck by vehicles while fleeing authorities.

there's a self-protective instinct that causes so many people to defend the state in moments of terror. it's so much easier to think renee good had nefarious intentions — or even made an unfortunate mistake — than it is to think "they will kill without reason, and they would kill me too."

Yes, for sure. It's not that they *aren't* scared. It's that such a fear is a product of an ideological project. A project that gives cops carte blanche to transmute fear into violence, and which convinces people who should love their neighbors to instead fear them enough to excuse those cops.
tbf, I can believe theyre scared. because if anyone in america is made up of the most chickenshit people on earth, its cops.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

On one hand, this looks like any piece I would've churned out for Twinfinite in my very, very brief time working for that site.
On the other hand, this remains the most true-to-me thing I've written in a long time.
