Murder
Mark Bernstein
<p>The murder of Renee Nichole Good by ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who remains at large, has upset me deeply. It has been hard to work. Objectively, I’ve shipped a Tinderbox backstage release with some fairly ambitious new fixes, straightened out a tricky support issue on Tinderbox actions, made some progress on AI fiction and paid the mid-month bills. Still, it feels like I can do nothing but Twitter, Facebook, and <a href="https://Chess.com">Chess.com</a>.</p>
<p>Half the country thinks this is just fine. The President, the Vice President, Kristi Noem, Robbie George: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yYQBHWuH30" title="Chicago: Cell Block Tango - YouTube">she had it coming</a>. The local Dems: a collective shrug, not even a meeting.</p>
<p>I think that, if you believe this is OK, I do not want to break bread with you, I do not want to meet with you, I do not want to know you, and I do not want to be governed by you—not even if you have the votes. </p>
<p>This happened before, in 1775-1776 and again 1859-1860. I think disunion may be the only resolution.</p>
