Hiiii! The link below is for my first post on tumblr. If you could check out the entire blog and spare a few reblogs or likes that would be awesome! RTs are wonderful too!! 💕 @taylorswift13@taylornation13 https://t.co/1i8r8dF3JK
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
This is one of the best, frame-by-frame breakdowns here by Brenna Perez of the Minnesota ICE shooting, proving without a doubt that ICE agent wasn't in danger, and he murdered Renee Good.
Make sure everyone sees it.
The NYT did an excellent job debunking the allegations that Renee Nicole Good was trying to use her vehicle as a weapon. Justice for Renee Nicole Good.

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel both getting cooked this year should tell everybody where we truly are. If two beloved rich ass white men can’t say what they want to say, we are past emergency level of danger
It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.
But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.
Now that I’m a grown woman and have openly expressed how badly I want to have my own little girl, it’s wild how people react. “You don’t want a girl.”
“Girls are so much harder.”
“They’re little nightmares.”
“Good luck with that.”
“They’re so mean.”
I know.
Because I am her.
And I would be an incredible mother to her.
🚨 The Earth just tilted off its axis.
Tucker Carlson is now calling out Trump’s own regime, accusing it of using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a pretext to abolish the First Amendment, round up Americans, and Nazify the country.
Yes. He said that. And he’s not wrong.
Not a big fan of Jimmy Kimmel, but if you think his show should be canceled for this, you’re a hack and a total fraud who should never pretend to care about free speech
Me: "Donald Trump ran for president in 2016 and said people with guns should maybe take care of Hillary Clinton to protect the 2nd Amendment. He ran for president in 2020, lost the election, and then incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol where his supporters tried to hang his vice-president. In 2024 he ran for president, he referred to his opponents as 'vermin' and the 'enemy within' and said he would send the military after them... Donald Trump has set the tone here."
BBC host: "That is the right. But what about the left?"
Me: "Which left? I saw Barack Obama, Joe Biden... all the leading Democrats came out and condemned this and said we need to tone this down."
From my appearance on @BBCNewsnight
@yvonnalynn@salthenurse08@Laurieluvsmolly Can you please post a credible source that confirms 50,000 people? I can't find any sources that support that number. I
The No Kings Day protest was HUGE. There's no way to play it down. It's true only time will tell if anything changes, however. Change takes time, btw.
@yvonnalynn@salthenurse08@Laurieluvsmolly Protests do work though. The civil rights protests changed everything and there was definitely some violence/destruction involved. You can't say they don't work when there's proof they do.
I've seen a few comments saying that AAR and BLG opening for Jonas Brothers is weird, so I remind you all of a little article about their roots

🚨🚨Well this is some scary AF! This lady was sitting peacefully at a town-hall in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho and after she spoke out these goons with no badges forcibly removed her. This is not America that we once knew, buckle up we are in for a long ride!
