Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.

This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year.

They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times

They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti

They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children

They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally

The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid

They should be abolished

stepping up as a leader means using your power to do things. Are you making sure people can make rent? Are you impeaching or holding inquiries about agents of the regime who are hurting others? Are you denying funding for violent, out of control agencies?

On Lynchings in America Support my blog with a Tip Typically when we think about lynching, we rightfully connect the killings to the tremendous numbers of Black men, women and children killed during the Jim Crow Era. They w...

today on my blog, I wrote an op-ed about the history of lynching, and why its extrajudicial nature is so aptly documented by Black journalists like Georgia Fort and Black activists like Nekima Levy-Armstrong the-haters-guide-to-international-politics.ghost.io/on-lynchings...

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

This should concern us all. You cannot speak of freedom and liberty and then support this regime’s actions.

WOKE 2 IS HERE

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

See you in a couple hours! ☕ ¡Nos vemos en un par de horas!

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

They make a huge difference in the lives of others and lead with dignity and respect in all of the work they do.

Next to slides of bold, colorful collages, a testimonial reads: "Voices of VV is a grassroots organization out of Vacaville, CA who provide outreach to the houseless and low-income community in Vacaville every Sunday, rain or shine. They provide snack bags with non-perishable and ready-to-eat food items, clothing, and survival gear such as blankets, hand warmers, rain ponchos, sunscreen, and water.

They serve over 40 people a week and have been doing this work for over 5 years. VoVV members also assist the community with finding housing, getting into shelters, and navigating interactions with police.

Next to photographs of a member performing and giving speeches, a testimonial reads: "I chose NBRR because I'm worried about ICE terrorizing and harming people that I love. I'm so glad that we have a group like NBRR to organize with to resist the fascist authoritarian madness in the world, and I believe the work we do together can make a real difference in our lives today. We outnumber them - power not panic!"

in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards
