    I can chew gum and walk at the same time.

    ICE killing Renee and Alex are absolute fascist crimes and need to be fully persecuted.

    Also, fuck this lady and her Trump voting ass.

    Trump incited an insurrection that KILLED people, did she mourn those as well when she voted for that orange piece of shit??

    This is nothing more than divisive ragebait. Who gives a shit? The story should be that ICE has murdered several innocent people, bystanders, and got away with it. While you’re at each other’s throats, they keep getting away with it.

      No, fuck that, Republicans need to face the fact that the people they vote for will kill their children. She voted for anti-immigrant violence, and she got what she voted for. Let her be a warning to others.

    I don’t want to victim blame here. No one deserves to have their child shot and killed.

    I will say that it’s tragic that it took this for her mom to realize the impact of her actions.

        Everyone and their dog knew this would happen. Only ignorant and blind morons would have assumed the Trump administration would only go after “illegals”.

        Oh by the way, it’s not a criminal offence to be in a country illegally. It’s a civil matter. Being an illegal immigrant should not be a death sentence.

            See my “ignorant and blind morons” comment. We all knew they would do this to white people too. If you let a completely unckeched authority full reign to create and cause chaos, that chaos will spread to everyone, not just the “illegals”.

                She was divorced, had an 8yo kid from a previous marriage, and her partner at the time of her murder was another woman. Renee Good was queer as fuck, and very open about it. And her mom voted for people like her daughter to be killed.

                She got the day she voted for. And now she’s upset about it.

      I feel like I’m going fucking crazy, like this didn’t happen already. He turns the entire American public against him, they vote him out so overwhelmingly that even their election fraud and foreign interference and owning all media outlets can’t save him, and then the entire country gets fucking amnesia and swallows the propaganda hook line and sinker, rinse and repeat.

        I’ll say that what the public really were trying to vote out was the reality brought on by COVID and how that was handled.

        Now, COVID is ‘done’, they can convince themselves that anyone would have been screwed up in that situation, and even if they screwed it up, well, that is done.

        So back in 2024, trying to vote out the inflation.

        Basically every election since 2018 has been about voting out whatever is currently going on.

    “It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” the mother testified, clearly emotional. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”

    No, she definitely could have protected Renee by not voting for someone determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.

      Assuming that they ever spoke, didn’t her mother vote against her daughter’s interest?

      I was under the impression that Renee Good was married to a lady and they had a kid or two.

      I can’t help but think of the qanon revealing-all-the-child-abusers conspiracy theory and Irony.

      The whole thing makes me sad.

      This isn’t “far” right. This is how conservatism has always been. Conservatives are genuinely evil.

      Remember how they celebrated the deaths of gay people by AIDS and by gay-bashing from the 80’s through the 90’s. They fucking CELEBRATED the deaths.

      Conservatives also did everything in their power to defund and delete any AIDS research and prevent any police agencies from committing any resources to stop the violence against queer folk. Oppression has ALWAYS been part of their political platform.

      This isn’t the far right. It’s just plain old conservatism, just as it’s always been throughout all human history. Conservatives are truly, deeply evil. It is immoral to keep a relationship with any of them. Disown them all.

      She was hoping ICE would kill brown people, not her openly LGBTQ+ daughter.

          These comments are literally from earlier this week. Her view hasn’t changed. She’s upset ICE killed her gay daughter, and not the brown immigrant down the street.

          As a queer person, I would bet my house she votes straight R in November without giving it a second thought.
