This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s becoming obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Worth pointing out, i think, that if your first words after shooting a stranger in the face four times are "fucking bitch," you might have an anger management issue. Or youre just a fucking misogynist with a tiny, limp dick. Likely both.

Been thinking about this for a little while.
Even with all the current context, I'm still genuinely shocked how many people are trying to argue a different truth than what we can all see from very clear video of the incident.
It's genuinely Orwellian. Straight out of 1984.

Laws in the USA only apply to the poor, not those in power. They are specifically structured so as to not apply to those in power, actually.

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7
