Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common:
Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.

Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

2nd best response. Perpetuating evil is not the way. Life is not a game.
When someone who made a life of profiting from inhumanity is themselves on the receiving end of inhumanity, I don’t lose my humanity in response.
I acknowledge an act of inhumanity has occurred and will now cause suffering by people not party to it.
Then I return to places where humanity exists.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

To be clear, this is what actual antisemitism looks like.
Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner says she "100%" questions the faith of Jewish politicians who endorse Zohran Mamdani.
"The same way I would question Chuck Schumer, who works against the interests of his own people at times for the politics."
Emily Compagno then accuses Mamdani of Holocaust denial!

PeePaw just likes spending money- it would take a ton to retrofit Alcatraz as a prison. Wait, don’t we have a SuperMax place for the “worst of the worst?”
Someone needs to take PeePaw for a tour of Alcatraz... and leave him there. Does he not know it is a tourist attraction and on an island, so there's limited expansion for all those judges he wants to lock up with those violent offenders?

Hi there. An old friend on a very limited income is facing some serious challenges right now, as her home needs urgent repairs for ac and heat, which is critical for a family member with COPD. If you could take a moment to donate-anything helps or share the link, it would mean so much!

Dude was visiting his fiancé, who lives in Vegas. His English isn’t good so he misunderstood the border goons when they asked where he lives, he said Vegas, they took him away for questioning without a translator and now he’s been in a jail for two weeks.
A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S.
It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.
