I hate that I feel the need to document my (messy as fuck) writing process but alas here we are. Insurance in the age of AI and right wing attacks on truth.

i’m gay and 45. it’s a trip that i lived the first half of my life not knowing a single gay person over 30, let alone over 40. happy to be part of the gay elders demographic.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Renee Nicole Good is dead not only because of one ICE agent but because of every single person that voted for Trump. Her death and the countless other killings by ICE are in their hands as well.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Brown has over 1,200 cameras and it wasn’t enough because cameras are a security blanket we’ve all been sold. They don’t prevent crimes and they barely solve crimes but in the meantime surveillance companies got rich and no one had to address the societal root causes of crime and violence.

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

remember a decade or so ago when demographic experts and journalists would all be like, “by 2050, the United States will be a *majority-minority* nation….” they surely aren’t leading with that one anymore.
