Gotta say I see such progress in Q&As at #SPSP. No comments disguised as questions. & every question prefaced with a kind, positive remark. I so value this progress!

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Academic salaries are too low to attract folk who value $. Maybe dangling guaranteed tenure will get their attention…

The only update is that the risk ratio for Tylenol is 1.0, i.e. no added risk. www.nytimes.com/2014/03/30/o...
