A Longtime Criminal Defense Attorney Breaks Down the Viral Video of the Renee Good Killing
Every frame is worse than the last. This is one of the most egregious examples of U.S. government violence caught on tape in this century, and we Americans are right to be extremely angry about it.

ICE agents have shot at least nine other people just since September, killing one.
Under Trump, this violence is rewarded with fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness — while nurses, teachers, and everyone else struggles to get by.
We must never become numb to his cruelty.

I think the disconnect we’re seeing online is between pundits who are imagining a Charlie Kirk in their heads and professors who have lived for a decade with the (often literal) targets he and his anti-free speech organization placed on their backs.

“Republicans are going to paint Democrats as far-left extremists no matter what positions they take. So you might as well defend the positions you believe to be principled, moral, and correct.”
