On the killing of Renee Nicole Good, I just published a piece in @foreignpolicy.com arguing the Trump administration is weaponizing the narrative of “vehicular terrorism” as a shortcut to justify an unlawful killing: “death squad logic, adapted to American streets” foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/13/v...

The U.S. government is adopting dangerous language to justify unlawful killing.
