I’m so tired of this chump. Harriet would’ve left this dude in the swamp on the way to freedom. The American people kinda care about ICE murdering someone, so if he could get that on the agenda.

In 2021, a school cop in Long Beach, CA, shot an 18 y.o. girl in the head because her *boyfriend* tried to drive away from school. The victim just happened to be in the passenger seat. From CA to MN to NY, this is what police do. This is who they are. lbpost.com/news/family-...

They be tryna make “good” and “bad” cop distinctions to absolve the larger system. Exactly why we say ACAB:
It’s unlikely that Good’s murderer is a particularly depraved or unhinged ICE officer. That’s just everybody who has the personality to be an ICE officer. That’s just ICE. Don’t exceptionalize him, he’s a systemic manifestation.

My first professor in college helped end the draft in Philly…… he had to flee to Latin America so the govt didn’t kill him.
Black folks, it’s time to get close to the elders in our families & communities & tap into that oral history of how we have survived the absolutely brutal & inhumane. It does not matter if others don’t listen to us & want to damn themselves, WE have the tools to survive state terror.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

What a world it would be if they would get on the TV & say we’re sorry we killed somebody. Is that hard? But no all we get is fascists doubling down on why extrajudicial murder is ok.

Black leftists ain’t triggered. Being both Black & leftist as it were.
Black leftists are triggered by this??
A whole lot of White and Black leftists are triggered today by Black people saying we told you this would happen. They’re mad and lecturing us that this isn’t the time and it’s time for unity.
The time for unity was 11-05-24. Y’all didn’t want it then so don’t ask us for it now.

Getting increasingly harder to just get through normal day to day tasks while the country crumbles around us. Like, they're shooting people in the streets, laughing about it, lying about what happened, and we're just supposed to keep sending emails?

Shorter JD Vance: "I'm very sad Renee Good was a terrorist who got what she deserved, what a tragedy."
Just over an hour ago a press briefing with Karoline Leavitt and JD Vance was added to the White House schedule for today. That is scheduled for 1 PM Eastern. It is probably going to be terrible.
