I’m beyond words. I’m heartsick but I’m sure that will evolve into rage. But today I’m still broken. I’m 68 years old and never dreamed I would live in a world where our government murders citizens. Hopefully therapy today will help.

I named my first child after Allison Kraus. I was 19 when she was murdered.

It was still unnecessary and indiscriminate shooting at civilians.

Yes, it was horrific and effected me as a child and how I viewed the world from that point on.

I was 16 when Kent State happened, and from then on I always knew that the government would kill protesters without a qualm.

Same here, Pamela. Except my rage has been here for a long time already, and it continues to build. I've sent protest letters to my Republican representative Tom Emmer on numerous occasions, and I get these same smarmy letters back about how tRump and R's are making America great again. Makes me vomit, but I keep going. We all have to keep going, more now than ever.

I'm in Florida, and I usually get back form letters about how they're honored to represent the people of Florida. No specific content. And of course, you can't respond.

I get the same crap from Andrew Clyde here in GA. Makes me want to throw up. But I keep sending letters anyway.

Who is the creepy ice guy who killed Renee? He needs to be identified and arrested for murder now!

That's right...That Nicaraguan oil is some of the heaviest sour crude oil ever. What ever refineries they say they have on the gulf coast to refine it will not be enough.

Steven Miller and his take on a totalitarian government are running this country now, The Donald is just a stupid puppet used for distraction. Unfortunately Renee Good got caught in the cross hairs-So fucked up.

Today and yesterday, I only feel grief.

This is a process for me, I lost three cousins to gun violence.

In addition there are many of us who here PTSD from SA.

The EPSTEIN FILES always trigger me on the trauma these victims have gone through.

It’s a lot.

I am recalibrating and I am still in it.

Thank you for your never ending compassion, commitment and support. 🖇️🪶🙏💔

I feel like such a fool for thinking that 2026 will be better! I’m filled with rage and sadness today and everyday since the election.

You're not at all a fool. '26 might contain the seeds of things getting better. But not until November, unless the clown and his Kops all drop dead soon.

Please don't. Deep down I think most of us still have hope and that keeps us going. I always expect the worst but hope for the best (to avoid the potential disappointment maybe) but the Trump-stein files must be really, truly depraved for 2026 to start out THIS bad!!!!

Good vs evil…Good is killed by goons in broad daylight with witnesses.

Hey SP's did you get any sleep last night? I sure didn't. Sleep has been a dicey proposition since the reelection of the Tyrant's, even with a case of Burgie and bourbon.

So short of "what?" Literally...short of what?!!!! Are we willing to do about all this?

More postcards? Really?

I seriously am at a total loss, I am even going to edit my suggestions here, that's how Hitleresque it's gotten.

Last night before I attempted some sleep, I read the most profound letter from JoJo from Jerz. I thought I'd share it with all of you...all sadness;

Thanks for this community S & A, and thanks to all you SP's out there. Today I'll leave the words to JoJo...

Thank you for sharing this, io bonini. That is a wonderful letter JoJo wrote. I was broken reading it. It's all so sad and awful and too much but she said it so well. I appreciate you sharing it.

Hey Rita, I believe we are all on the same page here. I read a lot of different things.

Jojo's piece is still with me today. The heaviness in my heart has been my companion since the 2024 elections. Yesterday's execution, has taken my breath away.

Share Jojo's piece, it might put into words, what others are feeling, but do not have the words to express. Stay safe out there and record everything.

Action that one can take in this moment if you are uncomfortable with attending a rally in your area:

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley is pointing us to our agency! Watch, below, as she introduces a motion, on the Federal Law Enforcement Oversight Committee, to subpoena footage of Renee Nicole Good’s death.

The vote was split 50/50 and the motion failed. But don’t collapse yet! Look at the data:

There are 7 Republicans on the committee but only 4 Democrats on the committee. That means two Republicans voted in favor of a subpoena. They only needed one more vote!

That means there’s room to put pressure on the Federal Law Enforcement Oversight Committee!

Rep. Clay Higgins (Chair): 202-225-2031

*Rep. Summer Lee (Ranking Member): 202-225-2135

Rep. Paul Gosar: 202-225-2315

Rep. Andy Biggs: 202-225-2635

Rep. Nancy Mace: 202-225-3176

Rep. Scott Perry: 202-225-5836

Rep. Lauren Boebert: 202-225-4761

Rep. Brian Jack: 202-225-5901

*Rep. Wesley Bell: 202-225-2406

*Rep. Lateefah Simon: 202-225-2661

*Rep. Ayanna Pressley: 202-225-5111

I’m so fucking pissed I don’t know what to do with myself.

A cold rage, have only felt this way once before, when we watched George murdered.

I wrote my 2 Senators and my Rep this morning and told them ENOUGH, and I’m holding them responsible for cutting off the funds for ICE.

This morning I woke up thinking about Renee Nicole Good. Then my mind went to Heather Heyer. Never forget.

Just heard the lying couchfucker, the one who thinks we all should get comfortable with having a dictator, demanding that the press stop spreading propaganda about the innocence of the Minnesota domestic terrorist who deserved what she got.

In case anyone thinks maybe the ICE officer acted lawfully and morally, look at this frame-by-frame video of what happened. There is no doubt, she was murdered.
