Hey @mprnews.org, this is quite the choice of reporting. Where is the evidence to support your statement that Renee Good was "attempting to ram into agents"?! Your lack of journalistic integrity is showing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I know most of my followers on here are because of my podcast Public Health is Dead. I also know a lot of you are white. If you are surprised by the horrifying murder in the streets in Minneapolis, or my reposts about it, I challenge you to listen to the other podcast series I made a few years ago 👇

Cautionary tale for @agdanrayfield.bsky.social (not going to bother with DA Vasquez). Shoo away those feds asap.
I have a new piece up @slate.com, on the politics of Minneapolis's DA going after the ICE officer (now ID'd as Jonathan Ross) who killed Renee Good.

She's been aggressive on police shooting in the past, residents are outraged at the killing, and she can charge even without a fed or local arrest.
The FBI Is Obstructing the Minneapolis Probe. The ICE Shooter Should Still Be Very Worried.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty can bring charges even without any arrest and is not one to back down from a case like this.

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12

ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12

ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14

Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23
Renee Good is at least the fifth death to result in an aggressive immigration crackdown by the Trump administration. Other cases include a person fatally shot by ICE outside Chicago and two people who died after being struck by vehicles while fleeing authorities.

With all of this in mind, the U.S. is long overdue to ask the question: Who exactly does this system serve & protect?

Seeing lots of flyers for local demos tomorrow in response to today’s ICE murder. The flyers have 50501, PSL and DSA logos. BE CAREFUL. These are honeypots that will get you kettled. 50501 called the cops on a demonstrator last year. The fucking irony.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

Does your child:

A) Breathe air? ✅
B) Spend time around other kids? ✅
C) Eat food? ✅

If you answered yes to these questions then they would be considered high risk for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal meningitis. (HHS never defined "high risk" in the memo or the press release).

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

i can never say enough how when i look for movement elders, the people i see still doing the work are the people who made space for music, art, relationships, and joy

people think it is cliche, but you really cannot pour from an empty cup. and that doesn’t mean you take a bubble bath every week.
oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

gotta build for long term

So the PDXReal dipshits are indeed attempting to enter various daycares in East Portland.

Remember: Jeff Church, the dude half of PDXReal, is a multiply-convicted CSAM buyer.

If Jeff Church shows up demanding to see children, act accordingly.

Also weird they're so hyper about East Portland....

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them
Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes.

If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing.
The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a US citizen and the mother of a small child.
