My heart is broken and my conscience outraged by the killing of Renee Nicole Good and others by ICE. Every human life is sacred. State violence that tears families apart and extinguishes life demands our moral reckoning. I hold her loved ones—and all living in fear—in prayer, grief, and solidarity.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Seems to me if voting didn’t matter the people who benefit most from the destruction of democracy wouldn’t be trying so hard to demolish democracy
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

It's going to be difficult, but it's not a lost cause--and the fight is worth it. I explain the best strategies here:

Origins of Political Violence according to Lily Mason:
Partisan hatred
Violent predispositions
Dehumanization: See other side as evil
Existential fear: Belief that the opposing party is a threat
Retaliation mindset
Leadership cues: Leaders’ words matter
Risk of escalation: Tit-for-tat cycles

Political and all other forms of violence are wrong—and they are a public health issue.
