"To tear families apart is to wound the very heart of God,” said Father Gary, who walked from the boyhood home of Pope Leo to the Statue of Liberty in solidarity w/our immigrant neighbors. During a visit w/a parish, he fell off a horse and broke several ribs. He took one day off—then kept walking.

Focusing on a single incident makes it resonate with the public more. It doesn't somehow justify the other killings, it illustrates the larger problem.
The right is good at this, sometimes in bad faith. For example, Laken Riley.
Basically "one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic."

Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social

Maybe it’s not that TOO MANY students are getting emotional/psychological related accommodations when they don’t really need them, & more that record inequality, growing authoritarianism, climate catastrophe, & massive debt together are actually having a fraying impact on young people.

Quick read this weekend: “Sex is a Spectrum” by Augustín Fuentes. Fuentes expertly draws from biological research on non-human animals and human anthropology to reveal the inadequacy of the sex binary for understanding human and non-human biological sex. The book is pretty dense, but a great read.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
