But if you're out there and you want to show some love to an indie author and illustrator through the shop because you don't have book pre-order money (who does?), but you -also- might not want to spend hoodie or t-shirt money, well, hopefully something like this can work a little better for you.

These prints are priced -literally- as low as we can set them for their respective sizes, and they're still a little pricier than we'd like.

Yes, it's always an imaginary "those people." The criminal masterminds who are syphoning away all the money.

Oh, not the billionaires who are actually doing that.

It must be some poor, single mom making millions by having babies with multiple men.

Possibly. But Boomer is an identity they loudly claim and it frames a lot of their thinking. But, conversely, I have also been on the frontlines of many protests with Boomers. I survived a month long work strike with Boomers.

I'll be clearer about what I mean in the future.

I'm not alone, and that helps. Ultimately, I'd rather see them clearly for who they are than be lied to.

I've pointed out to them that I have attended protests, I've been on strike, I've been an observer. Do I deserve to die?

A whole lot of "Well, that's not the same thing."

See? It's everywhere in their feeds.

They won't rethink it. I can tell you that. If anything, I go after their supposed "values." To this, I say things like, "Do you honestly believe you know what Renee Good was thinking? Because you don't. You don't know what anyone here was thinking." Or, "So, you think she deserved to die?"

I didn't respond. In fact, I haven't responded to their Facebook posts in quite some time. Mainly, because it doesn't matter. No about of debunking matters because they don't care about truth or facts. They only care about how something makes them feel.

But if they're "really innocent," they'll be let go, no harm no foul. Because law enforcement is GOOD! They're heroes!!

To protest HEROES is to be the villain. And villains should die.

So, once you understand the equation, you understand why Conservatives are "baffled" by resistance to state violence, to police abuse, and to ICE mania.

They actually believe that immigration raids are all about "violent illegals." And yeah, maybe an innocent person gets swept up once in awhile.

Finally, it ends with minimizing. But in a way that still blames Good for Jonathan Ross murdering her.

If she KNEW she could get arrested then, ipso facto, she consented to being killed.

Dissent is justification for state-sanctioned murder. Protest is "asking for it."

So, in both cases, sheer projection takes over. They KNOW what Renee Good was thinking. They also KNOW what the agent was thinking. Because it's exactly how THEY think.

See? They're down right psychic.

Two, there is no possible way that the ICE agents were doing anything wrong. Everything they were doing MUST be lawful and good and right.

PLUS! You are asked here to put yourself in that agent's "shoes."
January 12, 2026 at 10:14 PM
Let me start with the most obvious. This entire post is just hardcore victim-blaming. It's never the fault of law enforcement, or police, or ICE, or anyone in authority because they sympathize and identify with that authority.

So, non-negotiable point one, Renee Good is at fault for her own death.
January 12, 2026 at 10:14 PM
Having seen my Boomer parents' Facebook posts, I can answer this.

1.) It's their fault for being there. (Absolute victim blaming)
2.) They must have done something to anger law enforcement because cops/ICE never do anything wrong.
3.) Cops/ICE are fundamentally good. Protestors are bad. Always.
