People do not want to reckon with the actual purpose of policing. That's all I'll say about that.

One of the most underrated features of CPAP is that when it’s cold you can bury yourself under the covers and use it like a little snorkel.

Speaking as someone who does family law and a former public defender, this is probably the #1 driver of violence towards women

Watching JD Vance since he entered politics has really made me understand the kind of person that led Dante to write about someone so monstrously amoral and treacherous that his soul could fall straight to Hell while still walking around alive and well.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

In addition to everything else that Renee Nicole Good’s murder already says about how fucked up our society and the moment is, this really shows the degree to which misogyny and patriarchy are tied up with all this
she made him uncomfortable and angry, so he shot her and degraded her to boot

Good’s last words to the ICE agent: “That’s fine. I’m not mad at you.”
His to her, after shooting her in the face: “Fuckin’ bitch.”

I don't know what her religious views were and of course that's not the point, but this is what actual Christian martyrdom looks like.

John Fetterman deserves to get shunned every time he comes back to Pittsburgh
Best turnout yet for this weekly prayer vigil outside of Pittsburgh’s ICE office.
At another ICE protest this morning. Connor Lamb was there.
He asked us to tell congress to stop funding ICE, which he called ‘out of control.’

Hm. Logic checks out.
You make soup in a big bowl, you serve it in a smaller bowl and then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth but what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still.

Apropos of nothing, but the idea of the Trump administration and its gestapo literally killing Good is just too fucking on the nose
New in PN: The dehumanization machine speeds up
"Months after the nation and world were appalled by George Floyd’s murder, it became an event with two different truths. With the killing of Good, the right has not even deigned to admit the heinousness of the event before deciding she had it coming."

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

For a lot of us who are 40+ and grew up in the Pittsburgh area, the murder of Jonny Gammage did this.
Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
