Rules only work when punishment feels reasonable. When it doesn’t—when force replaces fairness—legitimacy collapses fast. After Renée Good, the authoritarian playbook is showing… and 2026 is the pressure point. open.substack.com/pub/professo...

No Kings, No Fear: the question isn’t just “is it safe to protest?”—it’s whether intimidation gets to decide who shows up. The 3.5% rule says we don’t all have to march, but there has to be enough of us… and Election Day is the biggest protest. substack.com/home/post/p-...
No Kings, No Fear: The Math of Protest in Trump’s America
The Trump administration wants you to believe that dissent is dangerous in the wake of Renée Good's murder. But silence isn't a safety plan—it’s a surrender packaged as self-care.

Renée Good was a mother and poet. MAGA and the media machine tried to slap “terrorist” on her anyway—because if they control the label, they control whether you’re allowed to mourn.

Scott Jennings: CNN Has to Be Trolling at this Point
Renee Good is not a talking point. But for Scott Jennings and CNN, a fatal shooting in Minneapolis is just another opportunity to 'both sides' the indefensible.
