So although the important part of that resolution was that ICE cooperate fully with state and local law enforcement, all you hear is that it thanked ICE? The problem made plain by the Minneapolis killing is that the feds refuse to cooperate with the locals in the investigation. That cooperation is exactly what the Dems who voted for the resolution voted for.

Yes the ICEstapo killed her in cold blood, we all saw it! Except trump. The last crime we witnessed during his time in government was an insurrection in the Capital in 2021 that he ordered so he could stay in power. He has ordered the ICEstapo to do the worst to get people riled up yet again but this time so that he can call in the military to declare Martial Law and crack down on protests. This he hopes will deter people from voting this year. Putin taught him that and it worked because he's been there for 20+ years! Be careful America even though you have the right to hit back please be carful.

Just wait! The GOP propaganda machine will be rumbling through the streets, spewing defamatory, libelous, and ugliness galore about Ms Good. No lie will be out of order, no scurrilous speculation will be omitted. I trust that the rope they use to hang her is their total undoing.

Katie Phang did a post where she went through the composite video published by the NYT. The shooter made a circle all the way around Good's vehicle, filming with his phone the entire way until he got back around to the front. What we can learn from that is he knew (a) there was a driver behind the wheel and (b) the engine was running. If he had been properly trained, he would know that (c) he should not have passed in front of the vehicle, which means (d) he couldn't have been but just SO "fearful for his life" or he wouldn't have done that. We then see him draw his weapon as he reaches the left side of the vehicle, and he is clear of the car before it moves in his direction with the wheels turn full lock *right*, with him on the *left*. If Renee wanted to run him over, she picked a damned peculiar way to attempt it. And she was too close to have done any serious damage even if she had hit him, which she did not. The first round hit the lower left corner of the front windshield. The second and third rounds were fired through the open *driver's side window*, as the vehicle passed -- well clear of the shooter.

The official story is undiluted bullshit.

And so is JD Vance.

Excellent column today. I find myself unable to deal with my rage and grief over the obscenity of Renee Nicole Good’s murder by ICE. I am a retired attorney and firmly believe in logic, research, and facts. In other words, I am not likely to believe that something is a conspiracy. Today, though, I watched this murder happen via multiple taped camera angles, not one of which exonerated the shooter in the least. And I hear that the local law enforcement officials will not be involved in the investigation at all, though it occurred in their city.

Then, Trump’s domestic clown car goes in to high gear, definitively saying that Ms. Good, a mom of three and defender of the vulnerable among us, is definitely a “domestic terrorist”. He is echoed in this nonsense by J.D. Vance, Vampire Miller, and Puppy Killer Noem, among others.

So I hope you won’t think me too hyperbolic when I share my belief that this is beginning of an escalation of ICE and the military’s role on the streets of our cities, and that it will definitely NOT end well.

Columbus OH has large population of Somali people. Now some nuts are trying to enter day care centers while children are present to look for fraud! Adults in charge have had to resist, even call the police. Given ohios lax gun laws that is a recipe for another disaster, if even in the parking lot.

From history and observations, this dictatorship is intent on creating fear throughout the country. Fear in turn leads to inaction from the people. It paralyzes and freezes the populace. My younger friends are afraid. I tell them not to be afraid because they are going to come and take everything away anyway. Being afraid gives them permission to proceed. They need to feel the consequences of their actions and know for a fact, that when the people have nothing left to lose, the retaliation will be hell upon their heads. I know that their bunkers have power sources and the security can be taken out. Too many brilliant people out here that they aren’t counting on. This is my opinion, but it’s also history.

Sadly 2 of the 4 Democrats that represent my state are in this list. One of them is no surprise, the other... I'm puzzled. Neither of them represent my district, thoguh, so I can't vote against them... but I can back a primary challenger with a donation.

The fact that JD Vance and others are using the "If she'd only complied..." line is sickening. They've been beating this drum for decades now, but at least now it seems to be equal opportunity. They used to only use that argument when the victim was black or brown. Now the mask is completely off and we see them for the fascist scum they are.

Thank you for the list. I was shocked and saddened to see my representative on the list. Your research truly helps keep me informed.

How many more people will die at the unregulated hands of these paid killers before congress finally says "enough" and defunds them!

Our part is to write, demonstrate and oppose!

This is a huge turning point. Caveat: I despise talking about people in categories-any categories tall/short, gender, race, creed, citizenship, profession, etc. That stated: this is a major turning point because a WHITE US CITIZEN was killed and the DHS along with this administration is defending the killing. Remember the last lines of Pastor Niemöller’s poem which are: THEN THEY CAME FOR ME/And there was no one left/To speak out for me. To all those who think Republicans will protect them, remember this administration’s response to the unnecessary death of Renee Good.

Will Smith said this in 2016, after George Floyd was murdered: "racism isn’t getting worse; it’s getting filmed."

National police departments have been increasingly militarized in the last several decades, and we already knew why. Qualified immunity has enabled police officers to abuse and murder with impunity. But too many people still say, “not all police.” Sure, Jan.

Now, we have qualified immunity on steroids with ICE. Any of us can be murdered, shot in the face, at any time just for being in the vicinity of an ICE agent.

There is no first amendment protection anymore. And any of us paying attention know this. It didn’t start with Donald Trump‘s first term. He simply normalized it, like so many atrocities he and his minions of perpetrated. I include the entire Republican Party, and some of the Democratic Party as well. The ones who continue to go along with these fascists, as if we’re operating in “normal political times,“ whatever that means.
