This is Renee Good.
She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

"Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:
They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement because they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled through terror.
The best way to resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you."

Fox News creates an alternate universe. I work in the Deep South with smart professionals and, prior to Trump, they often stated that the economy was terrible despite all objective indications to the contrary. I wouldn’t underestimate the strength of the propaganda bubble.
