The woman shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday was Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had recently moved to Minnesota.
She was a U.S. citizen born in Colorado and appears to never have been charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket.
In social media accounts, Macklin Good described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom.” She said she was currently “experiencing Minneapolis,” displaying a pride flag emoji on her Instagram account. A profile picture posted to Pinterest shows her smiling and holding a young child against her cheek, along with posts about tattoos, hairstyles and home decorating.
MAGA is a Nazi terrorist death cult and needs to be treated as such
*The whole Republican party is a Nazi terrorist death cult and needs to be treated as such
The Republicans were just the larval stage that finally transformed into their final form: MAGA. They are all the same, no matter how much they deny it. That includes conservatives. They’re all MAGA.

At the 21st Century version of the Nuremburg Trials, we will have to justify depriving them of their First Amendment Rights in order to prohibit them from existing. Just about the ONLY justification that could fly would be if they could be proven to be serious National Security Threats to the Sovereignty of The United States.
A political party that has literally committed treason and sedition on countless occasions and even committed a violent Insurrection on the Capitol of our nation to grab dictatorial power, can OBJECTIVELY be labeled as a SERIOUS National Security Threat, and that is without the discussion about the massive graft that has exploded in the MAGAsphere.
As a Serious National Security Threat, and their long record of exploiting our government and our citizens, they can be prohibited access to our nation in any way.
The problem is, the other party seems content to sit mired in beuracracy and precedent, instead of doing somethihg to prevent it from happening in the future.
100% valid. I’m making speculative predictions about how the Democratic Party could still get out of this and save America, and I honestly think they could, but all my predictions would require them getting out of their long-entrenched comfort zones, and they’ve shown very little willingness to do that.
But they are going to have to make some major changes in attitude if we are going to save American Democracy, like it or not. We have hired them to represent us in our government, and we have to FORCE them to do right by us.
Politicians operate 100% from fear, mostly fear that they will lose their cushy, privileged jobs. As much power as they have, we still have the power to vote them out (election fraud is a real issue, but a different conversation), and they fear THAT more than anything else, but not really, because we don’t wield that power.
Right now they fear too many other things before us. They fear the Donor Class who will keep their bribes, they fear the Progressives who will give them term limits and oversight, they fear the Republicans who are big bullies, etc. They don’t worry nearly enough about us voters, because we always vote for our incumbents.
So let’s stop doing that. My Democratic rep is a nobody, he does next to nothing. Maybe once a year he makes some announcement about supporting some minor legislation, usually having to do with Puerto Rico, but he’s too lazy to get involved in anything else. My guy is such a loser, that give me any decent primary candidate who will call this lump out for being a bum, and I’ll vote for them.
In primaries, we should vote for a decent competing candidate instead of the incumbent. If the incumbent is any good, they’ll still get enough votes to get the nomination, but they’ll see that their opponents did better than expected, and know that the voters are watching, especially when they see other colleagues LOSE their primaries.
We need to make them fear US, more than they fear anyone else. Then they’ll do what we tell them.
The only good nazi…
