Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

If you are still of the mindset “well, let’s not rush into calling Trump’s America fascist quite yet” - take a look at how he justifies shooting her in the face because what she was was “an attack on the American people” - meanwhile racist woman hater gun death justifier C Kirk is a fallen hero
How grotesque the mixture of ambivalence and retreat into useful lies has been to see from news shows , bigots , bots and right wing politicians talking about Renee Nicole Good
