Nex Benedict's death has been ruled a suicide. This doesn't solve anything at all. I've looked at the results and they strike me more as an accidental overdose, if even. What seems most likely is that it's a cover up. We're looking at Oklahoma which is proud to be enacting the most extreme anti-trans laws and policies in the country, hell, probably the world. Nex didn't fit into the neat lines that Oklahoma requires. And Nex is no longer here. In the end it doesn't really matter if Nex was driven to suicide or beaten to death. We know who killed Nex.

A real radical proposition that I can get behind. I just don't believe that it will happen. Let's just recognize a two state solution. Israel is Israel. Palestine is Palestine. It would give everyone a reason to work for peace. There are two massive objections to this. Netanyahu and Hamas. The theory is that if a two state solution is recognized by the world - particularly the US - then support for the belligerence will be replaced. Not everything would be worked out but why wait until everything is worked out to take one step forward? I'd rather work out the details with more of us still alive. [NPR]
