Will murder of a mother by ICE at last remove all doubt?

By Sid Schwab / Herald Columnist

The murder of Renee Good, that young mother in Minneapolis — and it was murder — ought to be the final awakening for even the most MAGAfied, the most propaganda-blinded Trump worshippers.

Especially those who consider themselves patriots. Or Christian. Not just because of the horror of it, per se, or what is says about the thugs Trump – and it IS on Trump – is hiring to carry out his plan of intimidation and forced submission. As sad as it is to think of her young child now motherless, what’s even more portentous for the county Trump has made no longer great, are the government-sponsored lies that followed.

When Kristi Noem lied so brazenly about it, calling the woman a “domestic terrorist” who ran over the officer, which she clearly didn’t, even saying the murderous agent was hospitalized for injuries (Trump did, too), it doesn’t matter if she knew there was video of the assassination. If she did, she wouldn’t have cared. Like Trump, and J.D. Vance, and Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel, and Stephen Miller, and Steve Bannon, and Fox “news,” and Newsmax, and Karoline Leavitt, and professional liars like Ted Cruz and most congressional Republicans, she knows that decades of relentless indoctrination have, as intended, created millions of endumbed worshippers who permit getting away with whatever anti-democracy actions and lies they choose. When reporters showed Trump the video that made a liar out of him, he retracted nothing (Daily Beast: tinyurl.com/sawtruth).

What American with even an ounce of decency could see what happened and not feel sick? Who could fail to acknowledge, finally, that what Trump and his rudderless political party are creating is a police state, modeled after every despotic government the world has seen. That’s NOT unwarranted hyperbole. It’s as clear as climate change and the Trump-enabled measles epidemic working its way through our county. Trump just told the New York Times that the only thing restraining him is his “own morality,” not any law or body. This, from the most amoral man ever to occupy the White House. (New York Times gift article: tinyurl.com/nolaw4him).

to this moment.

Including several of my relatives.

So, no. They are too invested in their myriad bigotries. It's who they are.

and they have been do this for awhile. We do no know the names of some, others have not been acknowledge by a media intent on promoting evil or maintaining access to power. Renee Good is known because of the people of Minneapolis are fighting for our democracy.

Thank you brave people.

MAGA and their sycophants are already blaming the victim. I am really trying, but I still remember 1/6. Now the entire MAGA movement states it never happened.
