As she was pulling away from an icy curb in Minneapolis on her last morning on this planet, Renee Nicole Good waved through the ICE vehicle that carried her killer.
As always, thank you Noel for your thoughtful insights.
I just saw posts of the Buddhist monks marching through SC and the crowds that turned out. I have to believe the GOOD people will win. The GOOD people who have respectfully marched for Renee. I have to believe the GOOD people will win.
As always you have written beautifully about this situation, particularly what we have lost with Renee Nicole Good. The whole story is horrifying--like something out of Schindler's List or Nazi Germany itself. We saw the movie, we can only imagine the real horror it depicted. Ralph Fiennes as the German Commandant firing out his window at random workers--the Jewish people he considered vermin and not worthy of a second thought.
This is what we have become. Don't fool yourself--it is this bad already.
And we must prepare for Trump to launch us into a war with our NATO allies. He has already floated the notion of taking over Greenland. Do not underestimate his own will to power. He will only stop when someone or something (Congress?) stops him. No one around him in his Cabinet was chosen for their deep thinking and humanitarian tendencies. Steven Miller has stated openly that might makes right. We should all be very scared, but making sure our voices are heard wherever and whenever possible.
Remember to keep pushing for the Epstein files to be released and for Jack Smith to give a public hearing. These are Trump's Achilles' heels.
Saying Trump has the intelligence of canned corn is an insult to corn. The insanity and lack of planning in Venezuela is astounding. Big oil basically said NO TOO EXPENSIVE. Now WE get to finance their operations to make billions and get nothing back? Americans have been warned to flee the country due to retribution by militias ? Gee , nobody thought of that before they invaded? UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!
Another insightful piece. In addition to the intentional distraction from the Epstein files, he's also taking the focus off of Jack Smith. The MSM is helping him direct attention away from his crimes and also legitimizing his illegal and immoral behavior.
As has been stated numerous times, the cruelty and chaos inflicted on our communities were never about detaining and deporting the criminal element among undocumented aliens. It was the intent of a draft-dodging coward: to terrorize those refusing to capitulate to a demented fascist dictator, which is precisely why the murder of Renee Good and others, instead of being mourned by monsters like Noem, Bovino, Miller, and Vance, are being celebrated.
"The ‘Real Housewives’ aura of gaudy glamour softens the blood-soaked brutality of what is actually happening and makes the MAGA adherents feel better about being absolutely awful people. It’s as if Kim Kardashian merged with the KKK." This sums up our current situation perfectly, sadly, with despair. The Mar-a-lago faces reconstructed by women who think they are in power speak to the culture being distorted into toxic masculinity that believes empathy is too "woke" and feminine to be healthy for men to exhibit. Then there is the new "heroin" chic actually exhibiting anorexia for our women to emulate. "Don't be fat or out of shape," spews drunk Hegseth, while the conman Trump oozes his fast food gluttony without any self-awareness. We speak of culture wars. I see one side at war with the rest of the nation. I want to see Renee GOOD and her values, behaviors, manifestations warring against the KKKardashianization of the weak.
Yeah, Noel..you nailed it as always, man. Renee Good was my kind of people too. That close up of what was clearly a kind and gentle and sincere face making a slow right turn to annihilation at the hands of this months fragile, dickless Rittenhouse. And what sort of neurological or physiological bankruptcy is required to be a JD Vance or Kristi Noem..? One who could countenance anyFUCKINGthing without a lone molecule of authenticity or fidelity?? It could literally be a drone strike at an orphanage on Christmas Day and they’d race in front of the first camera and turn on the performance art/team sport outrage + rectitude and the opting out of the reality we are all witnessing routine. I’m a secular humanist and don’t go in for the intervening sky-daddy morphine drip- but I desperately hope there is a hell for these swine and human paraquat.
Remember, her last words were "I'm not mad at you." Breaks my heart.

Gut-wrenching piece brilliantly articulated, Noel.
As has been stated numerous times, the cruelty and chaos inflicted on our communities were never about detaining and deporting the criminal element among undocumented aliens. It was the intent of a draft-dodging coward: to terrorize those refusing to capitulate to a demented fascist dictator, which is precisely why the murder of Renee Good and others, instead of being mourned by monsters like Noem, Bovino, Miller, and Vance, are being celebrated.
Trump rules with a steady assault on HOPE.
To which we should NEVER surrender.

Please continue to be defiant. Every action matters. “We shall overcome. Stay strong”. Our individual and collective voices matter.
