Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

A convoy of 5 ICE vehicles conducted a traffic stop on my block this morning after following an African man 5 miles to a completely different part of the city. Within 2mins they were surrounded by 60+ neighbors blowing whistles & left.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.
But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

McManus should not have been here to begin with, given his history, and under no circumstances should he be welcomed back.
Clean house on special teams coaches and coordinators.
Do everything possible to get McDaniel as an OC.
Heal up and try again next year.

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.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

There are precious few things that have given me more hope for the future of national, televised sports media than the ongoing ascensions of @minakimes.bsky.social (especially), and Kenny Beecham.
Just wanted that somewhere on the public record.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
