Students from multiple St. Paul Public Schools walked out of class on Wednesday to demonstrate against the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis. They marched to the Capitol for a rally on the building's steps.

I can't stop thinking about all the grannies (and others) who came to this country to escape horrific scenes of torture, murder, and sexual assault. They came here seeking a refuge - seeking safety. We have failed them. We must do better. time.com/7345628/anti...

Trump, during an "economic" speech today in Detroit, can't help but fixate on "wine mom gangs," saying they're "doing these fake riots." They go practice. They go to areas, they take hotel rooms, and they all practice together. It’s a whole scam. We’re finding out who’s funding all this stuff."

Here in the ICE occupied Twin Cities:

-Schools are closed to protect students and teachers

-Businesses are closed or working on limited hours to protect staff

-Neighbors are remaining vigilant to protect their neighbors

Who is the danger? It’s not the citizens of Minneapolis and Saint Paul

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

archive.is/ur35j
First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles, What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

There isn't a single person in Minneapolis who isn't thinking about what happened in 2020 today. Nur-D is a Twin Cities hip-hop artist with an incredible voice. The song is simple - and powerful. It deserves a listen.

This is a lie and should not be spread.

Renee Good has a wife, who was, horrifically, in the car with her when she was executed by the government.

It is flatly untrue to assert that child has no one else in his life.
