Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.

After learning from peasants in Colombia how toxic glyphosate is, I was so horrified to see it sold everywhere and used domestically in the US.
A 2000 study calling weedkiller Roundup safe for humans was heavily influenced by its manufacturer, Monsanto. Now the scientific journal that published it has retracted it. Environmental groups, farmworkers and RFK are bearing down on glyphosate: www.twincities.com/2026/01/02/a...
A study is retracted, renewing concerns about the weedkiller Roundup
Problems with a 25-year-old landmark paper on the safety of Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, have led to calls for the E.P.A. to reassess the widely used chemical.
