On Friday morning, cellphone footage originating from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross showing the murder of Minneapolis mother and wife Renee Nicole Good was leaked to right-wing media. The new footage conclusively demonstrates that Ross deliberately positioned himself in front of Good’s vehicle to justify murdering her.

    They want to chip away at the support bit by bit, targeting different messages to try to overcome the natural sympathy people that center right people might have for a pretty white mother with toys stuffed in her glovebox. So they show her wife a lowly lesbian “feeemale” being uppity to a white male authority figure, “justifying” his response.

    I’ve also seen attacks on her fitness as a mother (“her responsibility was keeping herself safe for her children” as if simply being at a protest is not a place for anyone with a family) and deliberately using less attractive photos or photos that emphasize her queerness to cut away at those biases.

      her responsibility was keeping herself safe for her children

      They can expand this even further to try to discourage people from being active. Anything to keep protests down. She was doing what she thought was best for the future, for her daughter (and other children), and she was being what American should mean.

      Don’t let any of the personal attacks or questions on motives detract from the blatant murder.

        Yeah jeez, she’s protesting to keep her children safe AND everyone else’s (even the right). Seems like a damn good mother to me
