Here is a great thread of other fundraisers, Nationwide, for families whose loved ones have been killed by ICE!
36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year
may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable
this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

Continually sickened by the misogyny and homophobia that runs through this whole affair--from the words of her murderer to the many attempts by conservatives to devalue her life since
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

One day soon the story will be told of how hands on Burke has been purging national arts bodies of people targeted by pro-Israel lobby groups. He isn’t just cowardly and silent, he’s been active in crushing marginalised voices.
Where’s Tony Burke?
It’s times like these you realise that arts ministers have no interest in defending the arts, and that govts are willing to burn millions of $ for political reasons.
Adelaide’s board has just squandered millions of $ and months of work and countless opportunities for writers…

Authoritarians use performative lying to mark who is for, and more importantly, against their regimes.
The point isn’t determining truth. The point is creating an ingroup whose loyalty is assured through ritually denying reality and an easily recognizable outgroup that refuses the delusion.

The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
THERE IS VIDEO
I really do not want to recommend to everyone a video of a person being shot but there is video from multiple angles
why not cut the crap and just publish "this paper supports random state murder, it makes us feel good, kill kill kill"? same exact meaning, less embarrassing

“Soon after Good was killed, people on X began using Grok, the platform’s built-in AI chatbot, to edit images of her dead body into a bikini.”
I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

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.
