Our government is killing citizens with impunity

...Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino are guilty of accessory to murder and a clear and present threat to public safety.

Lincoln Square @LincolnSquareHQ
Kristi Noem claimed the murder of a US Citizen was an "act of domestic terrorism," that the ICE agents were "stuck in snow" and that the woman was trying to ram ICE officers. Clearly, @SecNoem is lying and attempting to justify this murder .

This was Border Chief Gregory Bovino’s face moments after the murder of Renee Good, a mother of three.

Absolutely abhorrent levels of evil.




Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance 27m
Secretary Noem was not at the scene. I’d like to know who told her the shooting was self-defense.

Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell 45m
Is there anyone who believes this is the last innocent person ICE will kill?


Robin Kelly, Ph.D. @RobinLynneKelly
I will be filing Articles of Impeachment against @KristiNoem. I’ve had enough. She has turned ICE into a rogue force, violating the Constitution, tearing families apart, and leaving death in her wake. From Chicago to Minneapolis, her recklessness cost lives, including Renee Nicole Good. This isn’t just dangerous—it’s impeachable. I’m fighting back.

This is Renee’s killer….still on the loose being protected by Trump



Quadcarl @Quadcarl 3h
This motherfucker walked nonchalantly back to his vehicle after murdering a woman in Minneapolis.

There’s no fucking way he is hospitalized right now.

...the deliberate lying is bad enough, but the victim blaming makes clear that there's no actual law enforcement, just this petty regime acting like it's accountable to no one which exists to protect itself and its own corrupt interests.

When we call for this agency's dismantlement, this is why. The largest funded law enforcement agency has virtually no enforcable rules of engagement, and no intention or credbility in policing themselves, making them the domestic terrorists that they pretend to defend against.

It's a manifestation of Trump's open calls for police to ignore the rights of citizens they encounter, and his attitude and projection of guilt on anyone they abuse in the course of their duties. it's the same impunity from the law that the Supreme Court exampled for the chief law enforcement officer by just claiming he's doing his job.

The rule of law has been bastardized away from anything resembling justice, and is mainly just serving the regime and those who give fealty to it, far from serving the American people; an enemy to us now.
