Follow Up Post:

I'm trying to find followup video. I did learn that it wasn't the HIipanic woman's child but her husband who was in the car and who ICE dragged out of the car.

#52 - Wow. Just wow. We need a country of people like her.
#57 | Posted by YAV

Yeah, she really found her voice and her righteous angry. I can't believe this is what ICE is doing to our country. Just tearing it apart.

All hell is breaking lose in MN, and it is being directed by the highest levels of ICE:

As a reminder, here are texts Charles Exum wrote bragging abt shooting Marimar Martinez in Chicago on 10/4.

Exum yelled "Do something bitch" as he shot, first through windshield, then side window. ALSO a Greg Bovino deployment. ALSO a weapons instructor.

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

"I have no words except this: We are now a $$ithole country:"

To put the above video in context: an American city is under siege from ICE.

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don't even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it's basically my whole feed.

everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people"at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

I have no words except this: We are now a $$ithole country:

Watch this.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

FTA:

Law enforcement trains you over and over again how to recognize a potentially life-threatening situation. There are very specific rules for when it's appropriate to deploy lethal force, and we've spent decades introducing new safeguards at the federal, state, and local level aimed at trying to ensure that "bad shoots" become less common. When they do happen, there are policies in place to help ensure irresponsible cops are held accountable.

Compare that to the reality we are now witnessing: Trump has encouraged his federal agents to act like an occupying force. In the bluntest possible terms, he has encouraged them to use maximum force against citizens, and has promised they will be shielded from any consequences for doing so.

If those unmasked ICE agents = If those masked agents!

Do I legally have to answer the door for ICE?
Serious question, because I don't intend to.

If those unmasked ICE agents come to my door in unmarked cars and wearing bulletproof vests labelled Police, I'm not answering the door. If they come back with the state police or the county sheriff in marked vehicles and a warrant, I will. Unwise? Unless a lawyer tells me otherwise, that's the plan.

Glad you're back posting now, Gal.
Terrible times, but necessary to oppose as best we can. Thanks!

Hey Corky, these are terrible times, and I fear they are only going to get worse. Yes, we must fight/resist the best we can. Sometimes that simply means speaking the truth as best we can.

Unfortunately instagram won't let us watch videos on their web site unless we download their app, which I refuse to do. Got a different source?

I don't have instagram either. I clicked through the link in this article:

ICE/CBP BORTAC Unit just brutally abducted 2 US Citizens/peaceful protesters at a protest for Renee Good near Minneapolis (1/9/26)

And, also, thanks for the update (from you and others) on Renee's dog.

You can see the dog sitting with Renee's wife in this video if you can stand to watch it:

Palestine vibes.

@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Becca Good writes about her wife, Renee Good:

"On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns."

Ross to Good: Quiet, Piggy. But with a gun.

Oops, sorry. Wrong thread.

"White women really do think they can get away with anything."

Only white women who have lived a quiet, non-violent life may think they won't be targeted by ICE. Any woman who has lived a different kind of life, or knows women who have, knows differently.

Look, I don't think it would be wise to protest ICE with a sign that reads WE'RE ALL SORRY ABOUT WHATEVER WENT WRONG WITH YOUR PENIS given how they seem to be violent, reckless -------- who will lash out at you because they desperately need to prove to themselves they're still Real Men.

I need to see a freeze frame, but in the NYT video it looks to me like Ross unholsters his weapon before Good even switches the gear into drive. That is why his gun is out and in a position to shoot when she moves forward. Anticipatory "self-defense"

thinking a lot lately about our surprise when the victim of state violence is white, a citizen, a priest, a veteran, some category viewed as exempt from that violence. it's time to understand you aren't. no one is. whiteness isn't the color of your skin it is a conditional privilege you can lose.

in the 60s, the klan killed white civil rights workers alongside their black comrades. when you join the struggle you lose your status in the system you're fighting.

in the streets, on a riot line, at a demo, wherever. we're all the same to them. they're blue & you're the enemy. i'm not too proud to admit that i didn't really understand that until the first time a cop hit me, a little blonde white woman. i watched a lot of other white women learn that in 2020.

there is still a lot of power & privilege in being white, being a citizen, knowing you have the resources to get bailed out or hire a lawyer, knowing you won't get deported ... use it wisely. but don't think it will stop a baton or a bullet. please don't think it will save your life.

they didn't leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don't seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
