ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

What helped keep me from spiraling was to focus on continuing the antifascist work they were doing. I'm not one of these people who says love your enemies. I hate our enemies. I want them erased.
