cathartic, clear, on “coup”: “Why am I harping on about this? First, because it is important that we tell the truth, and second, because the words we use to describe things matter… The more this sort of stuff is allowed to go unchallenged, the more it becomes the settled version of events.”

Then he was pepper-sprayed in the face by an ICE agent standing a foot away. Completely unprovoked.

I reported from an ICE action on Sansome and all I got was a face full of pepper spray
