Internet Man in Minneapolis
There’s so many angles we’re gonna be able to stick together a Matrix bullet-time shot of this

but this faction fully and openly embraces fascist aesthetics and directly resuscitates slogans of historical fascists. though they may try to split hairs, i think that in substance they do rather proudly identify as fascists. /fin

I want to emphasize for people again: there's a bunch of AI stuff going around of people confronting ICE agents. It's fake. It's slop.

Verify before reposting.

They bet the media would adopt their framing if they released the video and they were right

USA Today: “Vance uses new video to defend agent”

WP: “hotly disputed”

Reuters: “White House shares new video”

The NYT even embedded DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin as if she’s a credible source

note how the sheriff's office almost fucks this

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

every new video more damning

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

Har-Mar, Roseville 4, and Pavilion Place (almost forgot about that one).

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

While other papers, including the New York Times and Washington Post, do forensic work undermining the administration’s propaganda, the Strib trots out Steven Schier to both-sides it. No, I won’t link.
fairly disgusted by a Strib article decrying “political tribalism” that neglects to take a stand on what happened

It’s so funny (not) that like everyone was forced to take right wingers seriously when they pretended to be upset about free speech issues or foreign intervention or pedophilia for a few years

I just saw — then lost a fundraiser related to this — anyone have it handy?
For parents in Minneapolis: I've been told that ICE grabbed someone from the Jardin Longfellow spanish immersion daycare
January 8, 2026 at 11:33 PM
does ANYONE at the state level know the killer's name?
January 8, 2026 at 4:43 PM
this was very predictable. I do wonder what could've been done to prevent this. I don't know how 'FBI taking over investigations' works outside of TV procedurals.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

It is fuckin relentless, isn’t it
Thinking about the trauma the Twin Cities has been through in the last five years, and how rightly exhausted we all are:
-COVID shutdown
-George Floyd
-Melissa Hortman
-Annunciation
-ICE occupation
-Renee Good.

If you are having a rough time, reach out to others.

any doubt left by the other video is cleared up in this one. sickening.

DHS statement is bullshit. This is murder. CW, obviously.
This is the video.

I love the freedom we enjoy, as Americans
ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.
January 7, 2026 at 5:40 PM
from what I saw WCCO coverage keeps referring to a “vehicle ramming incident” and is basically waiting in DHS statements before they report anything.

Regardless of who you are or what agency you work for, if you shoot or kill people in Minneapolis you need to be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Full stop.
