Her Boyfriend Was Killed in a Random NYC Attack. Right-Wing Trolls Mocked Her.

Her Boyfriend Was Killed in a Random NYC Attack. Right-Wing Trolls Mocked Her.

In the early-morning hours of October 2, 2023, progressive activist and organizer Ryan Carson was stabbed and killed by a stranger on a Brooklyn sidewalk. His girlfriend Claudia Morales—who witnessed the crime, attempted CPR, and dialed 911—quickly became the target of sensationalist online posting. Internet trolls falsely claimed that she didn’t cooperate with law enforcement and suggested that she and Ryan were, first and foremost, anti-police activists.

This week, Claudia talks to Anna about what it’s like to become a flattened character in the online culture wars, and she explains what the online provocateurs get wrong about who she is and who Ryan was.

This episode was produced by Cameron Drews.
