I'd love to see someone like @davidhogg.bsky.social make the point many of us are: What WHPC went through last night only begins to approximate what school kids across the US experience far too frequently. Thus far, this is being treated exclusively as a Trump thing, not a gun violence thing.

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

Connecticut Just Told Masked ICE Agents to Show Their Faces
SB00397 bars masks on every officer in the state, forces feds to show badges, and opens state courts to sue them. A first in the country.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

Blowing people up and then bragging about it makes Trump feel strong and powerful. And his ego has been taking a beating lately, so he'll lean into this harder to compensate. He has bloodlust to satisfy.

"The attack echoes some of the worst atrocities carried out by the U.S. military ... In March of 1968, American soldiers gunned down the village of My Lai, Vietnam, killing between 350 to 500 unarmed civilians, including children. Only one U.S. soldier was ever convicted for the horrific massacre."

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

The auditor of the state of Ohio, who is running to be the state's next attorney general, wrote an oped this morning that the Columbus Dispatch published on how Renee Good is to blame for her death. The subheadline alone is already chilling. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...
from Keith Faber: "Renee Good wasn't an 'innocent.' Problem is hysteria, not Ice | Ohio AG candidate
If you have done nothing wrong, you will be fine. If you refuse to comply, your actions can escalate quickly-and unnecessarily-into criminal conduct."

Important thread with examples showing that this country has been teetering on the brink of fascism for a long time. Notice the percent of American adults that thought Nixon had been treated unfairly even after he resigned in disgrace: 30%. It's about the same percentage as the die-hard Trump cult.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!
One of those latecomers was a 46-year-old documentary filmmaker named Chad Knutson. On the morning after Good was killed, he was at home with his two hound dogs, watching a live feed from the Whipple Building, where ICE is based, a five-minute drive from his house. A protester had laid a rose on a makeshift memorial to Good. As Knutson watched, an ICE agent took the rose, put it in his lapel, and then mockingly gave it to a female ICE agent. They both laughed.

Knutson told me he had never been a protester. It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt. But when he saw those ICE agents laughing, something broke inside him.

“I grab my keys, I grab a coat, and drive over,” Knutson told me. “I barely park my car and I’m running out screaming and crying, ‘You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?
