I’d add, MOST OF THE ICE AGENTS PRESENT clearly didn’t believe it. Nobody but the murderer pulls a gun or otherwise reacts like some murderous terror attack is underway.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

this is very funny, but to be earnest for a moment: the same guys setting $10M on fire here are the ones who can’t stand the idea of buses being free, of rent being affordable, of anything at all being easier for all the people for whom $10M would be an unimaginably transformative amount of money

I will add this is also what Michelle Wu did— she’s not going to get as much attention tonight but that’s in part because she crushed her opponents so hard in the preliminary that she ended up uncontested tonight. Moral clarity and standing up for your neighbors is what wins.
