A congresswoman said she plans to file articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, sparking fury from protesters and condemnation from Democratic leaders.

“I will be filing Articles of Impeachment against Kristi Noem. I’ve had enough. She has turned ICE into a rogue force, violating the Constitution, tearing families apart, and leaving death in her wake,” U.S. Representative Robin Kelly, an Illinois Democrat, announced on X.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was identified as the woman fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis during the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown, a killing federal officials said was carried out in self-defense in response to an “act of domestic terrorism.” Videos captured by bystanders showed Good’s vehicle driving toward an agent and turning to speed away when the officer shot into the vehicle multiple times.

      no

      That’s not true at all.

      In Idiocracy, the president and his cabinet put their smartest people (well, person) in charge with zero pushback and listened to and trusted expert opinion. When a policy failed (Brawndo went out of business and took the economy with it), there was swift punishment for those directly responsible, and when policy succeeded (crops were growing), they quickly pivoted and elevated those responsible. In Idiocracy, the most competent people were put in charge.

      What we have is MUCH worse; people stupid and short-sighted enough to destroy everything in the name of ego and greed, and just smart enough to be successful in their destruction of our societies, governments and planet.

      I would much rather be in Idiocracy if I’m being honest. At least those people were trying their best; can’t fault them for that.

        Yeah I’ve been saying this for a while, Idiocracy would be much more preferable, and President Camacho would be better than any president since my parents were born at least. We’re getting the George Orwell / Philip K Dick future, which is like the worst one.

      Exactly this. Only difference is Joe and Rita got a good ending, one I don’t think we’re going to get.
