Accountability for Renee Good and Alex Pretti - Glenn Kirschner
We have all seen the Trump administration commit horrifying crimes against the American people, documented immigrants, and undocumented immigrants alike, up to and including the killing of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and others.
Accountability for the crimes being committed by Trump and his administration can be achieved in at least two ways. One way is criminal investigations and prosecutions. But given that the acting Attorney General is Donald Trump's lapdog, criminal investigations and prosecutions very likely will have to wait until the rule of law comes back into the light of day at the Department of Justice in January 2029.
But the second form of accountability involves congressional investigations, and congressional investigations are just around the corner. They will commence - they must commence - after the Democrats take the House of Representatives back after the midterms.
There is a great nonprofit organization called represent us that is trying to keep the pressure on elected officials - members of Congress - with an initiative called the Congressional Courage Campaign. - Glenn Kirschner - 05/13/2026.

Sadly, we no longer have David Crosby with us, who likely would have been on the phone immediately after it happened, former "frenemies" or not.
Not that Young has not already given us the anthems to shake us out of our complacency, namely Ohio and Southern Man, but sadly... some things don't change (or at least not in our lifetimes).
