The Campaign to Destroy Renee Good
After an ICE agent shot and killed the Minneapolis mother, conservative media launched an all-out attack on her reputation. Her identity as a queer woman was central to it.

"Good was murdered by conservative America."
Exactly. Allowing conservatives to continue to be seen as a political party and not a branch of the death cult known as fascism is a sickness more people need to wake up from.
I hope that's beginning to happen.

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote about the simultaneous mainstream media erasure of Renee Good's queerness and the right wing amplification of it as a post hoc justification for her murder. xtramagazine.com/power/activi...
Renee Nicole Good’s queerness isn’t an aside—it’s a key part of her story | Xtra Magazine
We can’t ignore the misogyny and homophobia baked into Good’s killing—and erasing her wife does just that

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Alt text should be as long as it needs to be in order to effectively describe the content. In some cases, this will be a few phrases. In other cases, it will take a few more sentences. Aim to be as efficient as possible without leaving out key details.

Got off a flight to Sydney and saw someone at baggage claim who “looks a lot like Tim Minchin”. Later checked social media and he’d posted that he’d just flown in.
On a day trip to Napa Valley with some friends, we got herded away from the street by dudes in black suits and sunglasses as we exited an ice cream shop, as Nancy Pelosi got out of an SUV and went into the same ice cream shop.
Please Quote this with your most minor celebrity interaction
Ran face-to-face into Frankie Munoz boarding the plane home from my FFS. I saw a minor celeb. He saw a woman who looked like she'd lost a fight with a lawnmower. Neither of us knew what to do. We just stared at each other for a bit.

By “#1 movie,” do they mean box office or acclaim?
The Best Picture Oscar went to Schindler’s List, a film about refusing to comply with Nazis and their Nazi bullshit.
Sadly, it’s also a film about Nazis doing a lot of Nazi bullshit.

Will my 2026 be like a proud, regal t-rex crowing over her victories or a bedraggled crew of screaming, flailing humans getting electrocuted on clearly marked fences and dying on the toilet?

Don’t worry, by June next year there won’t be gay rights in America either.
Local organizers had planned to include the June 26 game with Seattle's Pride celebrations. Then, FIFA announced the match would include Egypt and Iran, two countries where gay rights are nil. n.pr/4iLmW2U
Egypt and Iran object to playing in a Seattle 'Pride' match in next year's World Cup

To this day, I have a visceral reaction to any description or depiction of bullying, along with intrusive thoughts about the punishment such bullies deserve.
