A Christian mom whose first name means “reborn” & whose surname name is “Good” forgiving her murderer seconds before being executed is the sort of thing that I’d probably regard as a sign if I were disposed to that sort of thing.
We joke about "the writers" being heavy handed, but that they murdered someone with THIS name is an especially big fuckup by an evil administration that needs to be able to control the messaging.
Online and on the streets, protesters are expressing their rage and grief at an ICE agent’s killing of Renee Nicole Macklin Good through art. “In a world full of Trumps and Noems, be Good,” read one protest sign.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Trump is doing to politics what biz schools taught future CEOs to do: break the social contract (e.g., the one btw mgmt & labor that once ensured steady jobs) & extract all the value stored inside.
This will have the same effect on politics as it did on the labor mkt: instability & immiseration.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

This is right, but I'd add that #1 is only unclear because of a pretty perverse line of authority that doesn't need to be that way.
The problem is, there are two key questions here:
1. Was the use of force legally justified?
2. Was Ms. Good a "domestic terrorist" who tried to run him down, as the VP and the entire Trump admin is claiming?
The answer to 1 isn't entirely clear. The answer to 2 is pretty decisively no.

Sohrab Ahmari thinks that the officer was in danger and had a right to kill Renee Good.
He’s as bad as any MAGA.

This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle

I don't know what her religious views were and of course that's not the point, but this is what actual Christian martyrdom looks like.
And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

sickening and another national shame
NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

crazy that vivek left the hitler website before a bunch of dems did
Vivek Ramaswamy has deleted his Twitter and Instagram accounts because, he says, it’s “coordinated influence that hides behind armies of avatars, creating a false impression of grassroots support”.
This behavior is the engine that runs MAGA, so it’s interesting to see him acknowledge that.

My wife and I are pretty close to Good's age and our kid is younger than hers. I've been thinking since yesterday about what it would mean for ICE to orphan our daughter and it makes me feel sick. But if ICE thinks that's going to deter people like us from protesting, they are very, very wrong.
