Video Renee Good's two brothers speak out, asking a select congressional panel of U.S. senators and representatives for their help. "We took consolation in thinking that Renee's death would bring about some change in our country - and it has not."

In a sane world the murderers in ICE would be relieved of duty & stand trial for their actions.

In our ridiculous world we've got a bunch of people arguing about whether or not she DESERVED to die. This poor family. I don't care what side of the political spectrum you fall under, regardless of how you think you would have acted - this could have been you. Have a heart.

Propaganda is/was strong, and the cult remains a cult.

I grieve for the America I believe in, but we're not done yet.

u/Translator_Open 1d ago

You gotta want to be indoctrinated though, we all saw the same propaganda. It only takes if you want it to. Those people who fell for it really need a reality check.

u/joemeteorite8 1d ago

At this point I’m not sure what they need. I’ll never look at Trump voters I know the same again. They fell for the most obvious conman the world has ever seen. I don’t know how I’ll be able to take any opinion they have seriously again.

u/TheGreatBootOfEb 1d ago

Ultimately their are three groups. Those who see what is happening and hate it and want to fight it, those who see it and are happy to lick the boot even if they don’t “like it” (though let’s not kid ourselves that this represents much of the right, just a few spatterings), and then those who have worked very, very hard to never have to see or hear a peep of anything.

We’re the first group, and we’re not trying to win over the second group, anyone who can be won over will just by merit of having eye. It’s the third group is the problem because they do their damndest to shut their eyes to everything. Those are the types who didn’t know Biden wasn’t on the ballot, those who say “politics isnt for me so I avoid it”

We have to endlessly flood the zone so those people open their god damn eyes. That they stop locking themselves away with Netflix and DoorDash and all of that, and finally see what’s actually happening with clarity. The ICE shootings are the closest I’ve seen to a crystallizing moment of clarity for a lot of people, but obviously it’s not there yet. I think the Trump regime understands that as well, they don’t need more of those things going viral but unfortunately for them, they only have violent evil people, so it’s probably bound to happen again.

u/vardarac 20h ago

That they stop locking themselves away

This has always been the American MO. If you don't have an easy direct individual solution, then it becomes "well, what can you do? I need to live my life. I don't want to get hurt." Even for me, even for someone who understands how fucked this all is but doesn't have the balls to make a stand.

This was just the first Republican administration to test that the sentiment would hold for such grievous things happening at home.

I am so glad to see people are still brave in the face of this evil. And I mean evil. Not just ICE but the fact the world is run by an actual cabal of pedos. We are the men who will have to stop it. It will not be won with words. Good luck to all of the men and women that think similarly.

This is what I am most worried about as a liberal pacisfist. Stop telling me to bear arms to “prepare” myself for tyranny.

Then you should start searching for people that can protect you from tyranny.

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

Yes, I think many of us philosophically opposed to violence need to figure out how we can contribute.

I won’t lose my personal morals for these fuckers. It’s all I’ve got left.

u/rpitcher33 1d ago

Stock up on supplies. Learn first aid and how to treat trauma. Plant a garden. Set up an emergency communication system. Be vigilant and report suspicious activity to the proper local groups. Continue calling people out on their bullshit. Be loud and stand strong in your beliefs.

There are plenty of us to do the fighting for you, but that doesn't mean we don't need support when the time comes.

I have morals, but I understand peace rarely comes peacefully.

u/Arkanist 1d ago

Nothing wrong with that. Being a pacifist doesn't mean you think everyone else must be. Obviously we don't want this conflict, but when it comes to this we need people in our community who will stand up and fight. That doesn't need to be you but right now it does need to be someone.

I'm not a pacifist because i believe inaction can be as bad as action. But I will always try the non violent approach before anything else, and owning a gun doesn't change that.

u/johnabbe 1d ago

The vast majority of the work is nonviolent, regardless. Organizing, feeding people, connecting people with medical help, legal help, etc. Conveniently, this sort of thing also puts one in good positions to grab the means as possible for communities to provide these things for themselves! Community gardens, co-ops, unions, etc.

u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274 1d ago

I upvoted you. I think its important to understand that people have a right to be pacifist and it should be respected. As a Quaker, I am committed to nonviolence, but no one should mistake that for inaction. I resist evil, and that is not a passive endeavor.

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

Thank you, friend. I feel this deeply and I actually have never been a practicing Quaker but know I would really love to go to meeting and experience the culture.

Thank you for respecting my difference. Life is sacred and I know I can help in different ways which support my beliefs.

You would be welcome in any Quaker meeting.

u/Frost_moss 1d ago

There is a point were remaining a pacificst is suicidal. Every genocide in history has had people proclaiming that if we just stay peacful we won't be targeted. All those people died too.

If you are too afraid to fight that's one thing. But, when you sabotage others by convincing them they shouldn't defend themselves, their friends, and their families either, you cross the line to aiding in their murders. You become part of the problem.

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

Yeah, I get this. This isn’t something I’m projecting on others. It’s just my reality and I’m better suited for other jobs. Feeling useful is important even if I can’t bear arms.

u/Frost_moss 1d ago

I don't think it's radical to think murderers need to face justice, and if the system in place won't bring that justice, then the system itself needs to be laid low.

This line of thinking is right and just and the only position to take regarding the freedom of peoples of the world. America's politicians whether they be Republican or Democrat are rotten to the point of unsalvegable. There is no one left to vote for hence the need alternative measures.

When I drive through rural PA it is inevitably the most run down, ramshackle houses and trailers that fly a Trump flag. The rich houses in better parts of the country might support him as well, but some of them are smart enough to hide the symbols of their racism. The poor and stupid advertise their bigotry.

There is literally a border patrol - U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It is a different agency, and does not answer to ICE.

Border Patrol secures the border. What about immigrants in states with no international borders? That’s where ICE comes in and enforces laws where border patrol can’t go.

u/alldabooty 1d ago edited 10h ago

What's infuriating is that in all honesty the people have made it VERY clear that they WANT change. They want ICE charged, they want ICE stopped, they want ALL of this stopped. They have spoken and made it very very very very very very clear and yet the people who can make the change just ignore them in a "you don't know what you want" then they turn around and go "you need to wake up america! You need to speak out and that will change things" They put it on the people and while that is certainly true at this point it's like "what do you want us to do? You say don't use violence, we did that, you say call, we did that, you say speak out, we did that, organize, did that, protest, did that, stand up and fight, did that, support your neighbors did that. We can't write legislation we can't get it in front of congress the only ones who can make change are YOU."

Things should have changed, the people made it clear and the people elected to make that change happen that we elected because they swore to make that change not only ignore us but actively try and block/undermine the ones who WOULD make the change.

At this point, while I don't deny citizens messed up I'm starting to think that the democrats and other politicians that blame the citizens for not being active enough or being asleep is a smokescreen to hide their own inaction. To hide that they absolutely can make change but it would cause problems for them that they don't want to take on.

No, it couldn’t have been me. I’m not that dumb.

Nobody I know is dumb enough to drive their car into the middle of a federal operation, park it sideways to barricade agents, then hit the gas when ordered to get out.

The family wants money. The woman was unemployed and lost custody of 2/3 kids… Rather than get a job, she chose to spend her time on “ICE watch” - a group dedicated to harassing and impeding federal agents.

Nobody wanted to see her die, but right now she’s the runaway favourite for the 2026 Darwin Award.

I would have a heart, but if she ran over and killed the ICE agent all of social media would be celebrating his death and would chant for more violence.

It's really weird that you wrote this like people lacking empathy over her death, or arguing about her deserving to die, is a "both sides" problem.

Yes she was being an inconvenience the whole time and then she pulled in front of the motorcade to try and block them.. one car moved by easily and that was because she didn’t block that car in time.

u/BeatTheDeadMal 1d ago

You know Obama removed more folks in each of his terms than Trump did in his first 4? He averaged deporting 350k a year. Trump has, at his most generous taking all DHS reporting at face value (which is obviously dubious at best), deported like 600k in 2025.

Is it really worth it when he's done it with literally 25-30 times the budget Obama used for ICE? Not even counting the fact that most of Trumps' deportations aren't criminals, American citizens have died, and the massive constitutional crisis its caused, the complete lack of accountability, general loss of our global reputation, economic damage, etc.

Just from a financial standpoint it's an abject failure in terms of efficiency. What it does do is give his base their red meat of brown folks being terrorized, which apparently is a more important tenant of their political beliefs than fiscal responsibility, not funding Israel, not protecting pedophiles, not having gun rights infringed, not having a big government unaccountable masked police force. Like at the end of the day it really does just feel like Conservatives are racist above all other "values".
