His name is Jonathan Ross. His name must be known. And all U.S. law officers who use lethal force against fellow citizens -- whether seemingly justified or unjustified i early analysis -- must have their names immediately known. How else for us to know whether they've killed one person or ten?

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power. New from me:
