So weird to see the sleepy seaside town of Southport in the news. My grandmother used to live there and I spent countless vacations there as a kid. Shocked to see the streets I used to play on become a battleground for racists and fascists. My family were on those streets just last week.

(Admittedly I saw worse rioting on in my own neighbourhood a couple of years ago - but nothing's a surprise in Oakland.)
