I'm going to say something that might sound controversial
So, I need to make sure you're going to hear it right because there's something that Alex Prey and Renee Good have in common, but that no one is saying
Besides the fact that they were both US citizens, besides the fact that they were both unarmed when ICE agents killed them, and besides the fact that they were both protesting peacefully before ICE agents chose to engage with them and take their lives, this is the thing.
They both knew what they were doing
Now, this does not mean they should have seen it coming or that they had it coming
This is a statement of respect and admiration for their courage
Both Alex and Renee understood that standing up for your community, especially in the face of ICE, is an inherently dangerous choice.

And we see their apologists on TV increasingly struggling and increasingly failing to defend them
Now, because of their sacrifice, not just those on the left, and not just those paying close attention, but everyone, the detached, the lowinformation voters, the Jill Stein voters, you know, you're just being dramatic family members, non-MAGA
Republicans, and even some of the young MAGA Republicans
They can say a lot of things and they can make a lot of noise, but deep down they have to accept what is true
Because of Alex and Renee, tens of millions of people, not out loud, but in the quiet moments of humility, looking at themselves in the mirror in the morning, driving in their car, lying in bed as they fall asleep at night, they're all asking themselves different versions of the same question.
Am I the bad guy
Is this my fault
Did I make a mistake
Now, because of Alex and Renee, we have the
