There seems to be zeitgeist about how fucking misogynistic ICE–and this regime–is in general.
I have so many dozens and dozens of threads I've written about how misogyny is often the engine that feeds this nightmare of fascism.
Stop ignoring us.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Just a reminder to my fellow Minnesotans living through this nightmare, Majority Whip, Tom Emmer, was all over MSM yesterday and today supporting the armed occupation of his own constituents and his state. This is not a man who deserves the Congressional seat he currently occupies. He needs to go.

A Red Lake Ojibwe descendant was snatched by ICE in Minneapolis, and a Plains Cree woman was questioned.
This is in addition to the four Oglala Lakota men who reportedly were grabbed by ICE.

The shooting was murder.
But refusing to allow an ambulance and a doctor from rendering aid is what will send them to prison. You can't block an ambulance, I don't care who you are. If the EMT who was driving the ambulance testifies along with witnesses, they're done.

Adjacent but separately, I believe that it's a whole message of misogyny in general:
They hate women, and are acting on it with impunity. It's not just *this* family, but the women ICE picks up are handled with exceptional violence.

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

I know a lot of you want to believe that everyone in a uniform is willing to get on their knees and suck Trump’s dick, but it isn’t so. People didn’t start their careers 20 years ago with Trump in their thoughts. Many are just trying to get their pension. Almost all have their red line.
