Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Warning: very disturbing read. It’s a story told by a woman who Trump allegedly raped when she was 13. 13!!

It’s not new. She first came forward in 2016 when he began running for president. It was mostly ignored. But it seems increasingly plausible now! katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

Freezing Deaths: The Starlight Tours
Summary
In the 90s and early 2000s, the Saskatoon Police Service faced public and legal scrutiny for practicing what became colloquially known as the "Starlight Tours." In summary, a Starlight Tour happens when an Indigenous person, frequently Indigenous men, is picked up by the police at night and abandoned outside of the city limits in subzero termpatures. An egregious abuse of power, tours were carried out in winter, and the men were left to freeze. This practice came to public eye after one man, Darryl Night, survived an attempted tour and filed a complaint against the SPS officers.

It was only after Darryl Night came forward that the deaths of Neil Stonechild, Rodney Naistus, and Lawrence Wegner were deemed suspicious. Because of existing prejudice and racism within the police force, it was assumed that these men had 'gotten drunk' and wandered off into the night. When Darryl Night came forward with his complaint, it triggered a demand for an independent inquiry into the deaths of Stonechild, Naistus, and Wegner. The two officers implicated in the Darryl Night case were found guilty of unlawful confinement and were fired from the police force and sent to jail for a minimum sentence. The Wright Inquiry into the death of Neil Stonechild implicated the Saskatoon

This article is awful, but the 78 year old trans woman broke my heart. She knew as a teen she was trans. She was subjected to such cruelty, lived though so many law changes, the GRA, the Equality Act and now the awful regression we're seeing on trans acceptance :(
