I really think one of the actual secrets of the Trump administration is that they have very cynically, in a way that I’ve never seen other administrations quite do, hacked civic ignorance.’ — David French from The Opinions NYT podcast

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

Rest in peace Renee Nicole Good.

We know what happened. Everyone does. Don’t let anyone gaslight you. They lie and cheat, but we know the truth. They do too. They just smirk and thrive off of being evil. Our beaming love and compassion and empathy will never be taken away.

Again I say into the void: stop saying the ICE officer had no time to think. Time doesn’t start when the drama starts. They drove up. They walked up. They engaged. Stop saying there is only reflex, no thought. If so, stop arming ambulatory startle reflexes & calling them cops

Abolish ICE is the *conservative* position.
Nuremberg trials are the *conservative* position.
Packing the courts is the *conservative* position.
DC/PR/USVI statehoods are the *conservative* position
Universal suffrage is the *conservative* position.
*Conserve* the parts of our country that are good.
Abolish ICE. Really.

The question if a police shooting is justifiable is just 1 question to ask. 1st: this wasn’t justifiable. But for me the real question is was it inevitable. As police, we must do everything we can to avoid deadly force. Many times the suspect makes it inevitable. Not in this case
