Renee Nicole Good’s death at the hands of an immigration officer was preceded by a wave of misinformation peddled by right-wing influencers.

On Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old American citizen and prize-winning poet, by firing a bullet into the window of her Honda Pilot.

You can, and should, watch the disturbing firsthand video footage of the shooting for yourself, from the multiple angles available.

Otherwise, the same self-professed “citizen journalists” whose often misleading and Trump administration–backed vertical videos about Minnesota helped bring ICE agents to the city (where they went on to tear-gas outraged protesters and harass high school officials) will feel free to rewrite the story of what really happened here.

    You must be American, because every other country has seen for a long time what the USA is. It has always routinely invaded and terrorized other countries so its corporations could steal and profit from their resources. Its governments serve money and not the American people, and will kill as many as it takes to protect the wealth of their wealthy. We could see it before 9/11 and it was shocking then that so many in the USA had no idea why anyone wouldn’t like their country. Americans have long been deeply awash in propaganda that hides the truth of how their country operates.

        This comment chain is the evidence of the opposite. Outsiders act like the country was equally fucked in 2023 and 2025. The tankies think we’ve always been equivalent to or worse than Russia and China. There are a number of people who just “don’t pay attention to politics”, which caused our current situation.

      I have been aware since about 1983 that the Disjointed States of The Western Hemisphere do not have my, or anyone not inside the big club’s, interests at heart. I have lived in fear for my life since the ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ days dominated our military. This country has been a rogue state for the entirety of its existence. Anyone who takes the US foreign policy seriously is a moron at least and ibecile at most. But, you can make some fucking money here…
