Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles,

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

When they openly lie to you about Renee Good’s murder, despite videos debunking their BS, they’re saying they are not accountable to you.

They’re saying they’re not accountable to our laws or Constitutional due process.

If you are not in favor of their fascist ideologies, you are the enemy.

The dead have a right to remain dead. An animated skin put over a computer model and given the same name as the dead son of grieving parents is a cursed golem and a full delusion. By interviewing the computer model, Acosta has asked us to accept this as true or real. Gun control deserves better.

jfc, in the literal middle of the event... You'd think these people couldn't shock me anymore...

thank you andrew, I really needed to hear this

A liberal Minnesota politician was murdered along with her husband and another was shot along with his wife by a right wing anti-abortion psycho and I haven’t seen 1/100th the coverage that Luigi, a man with severely muddled politics, received for shooting a healthcare executive

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

“The minutiae of Medicaid policy” is a wild euphemism for “16M+ Americans will lose their healthcare”

This is Nazism, straight up. The Gas Chambers were an end point, not a definition.

"Most of these were listed under the category as having had their citizenship revoked, usually either due to being Jewish, political opponents of the Nazis, and/or having emigrated out of the Reich."

the Big Beautiful Bill is extremely unpopular, fiscally disastrous, callous and cruel and devastating to Americans in need. And still we have national Democrats out on the Sunday morning TV shows criticizing their own party's mayoral candidate.

A real wakeup call. Something's gotta give.

like straight forward the gop is a death cult. this manifests in many ways from school shootings, to let covid rip, to rolling coal, to arms for israel to bring about the apocalypse. they worship at an altar of death its who they are

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

this is just an observation but one way to think of the civil war is that it WAS about states rights, but the right in question was the right of free states to stay free

Justice Jackson:

"The Court's decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law."

"If this country is going to persist as a Nation of laws and not men, the Judiciary has no choice but to deny it."

Why the hell wouldn’t he be a citizen??? So pregnant military wives must stay home now and break up fans? This is desperate racism.

This Is The Beginning of The End of The 9/11 Era Capital and nativism will fight even harder against Zohran Mamdani now. But in capital's seat of power, socialism defeated barbarism. I fucking love New York

Socialism, tonight, defeated barbarism. After the two-decade midnight of 9/11, dawn is breaking.

Andrew Cuomo's biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

This morning, for the first time in VA history, we have 3 candidates running for state wide office who are not beholden to Dominion. This is in huge part due to the efforts of Clean Virginia. Of course, the fight for our environment and people power in Virginia is not 8 years old….
