“She shouldn’t have been there”
“She was obstructing vehicles”
“She was smiling”
“Her wife was rude to the ICE agent”
None of these things justify shooting and killing someone
It’s giving big “she wore a short skirt and drank too much” vibes
Stop defending the indefensible

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
A Disturbing Pattern Has Emerged In Trump's Second Term — And It's Playing Out With Renee Good
“How else do you justify shooting a stay-at-home mom with stuffed animals in her car?” the attorney for one woman who survived a federal agent’s gunfire told HuffPost.

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Thoughts on Trump ordering flags to half-mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Governor of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in by a Trump supporter.

Call out the hypocrisy.
Trump is ordering flags at half staff for Kirk's murder.
Yet, two months after the murder of MN Speaker Melissa Hortman he's refused to so much as call the Hortman family or Gov Walz, & instead mocked them.
Vile hypocrisy doesn't facilitate peace, it enables more violence.

This is the Republican way. It has always been about them versus the working people.
Rules for thee, but not for me. It’s okay to pass legislation that hurts other people, but when it affects me, it’s a problem.
Republicans don’t care about you. They only care about two things: power and money.

Trump fired her in retaliation for the stolen documents case.
The only problem is that she wasn't in charge of the national archives at the time!

We can expect more retaliatory attacks on our institutions throughout this administration.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.
It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.
In that sense, the system is working very well.
But it is not working for the average American.
We need Medicare for All.
