I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.

They’re executing queer people in the street in broad daylight, recording on their phones and inviting the public to revel in the brutality. The violence only grows from here. If there isn’t widespread, organized and effectual pushback, right now, then they’re just getting started.

The way the Trump regime is trying to inexorably bind Renee Good's queerness to their accusations of "domestic terrorism" cannot go ignored.

Thank you for featuring Becca Good, Renee's wife, unlike virtually almost every other news organization around

The erasure of Becca Good from the narrative by mainstream press, especially major national outlets, is disgusting and shouldn't be ignored. She was there. She saw this awful murder. And the media would rather spend time focusing on a deceased former husband of Renee's.

To be clear this is a heartbreaking and beautiful statement from a wife in mourning, that's most important. But also the fact that I've seen a dozen articles with comments from a grandpa across the country and about Renee's deceased husband and this is the only one about her wife I've seen is vile.

Renee Good's queerness cannot be erased, and Becca Good cannot be overlooked. The fact is, a queer woman was murdered by a government agent in front of her wife. Any attempt to spin it as any other narrative is erasure and part of an ongoing effort to minimize and ostracize queer lives in America.

the dude walked around their whole car filming them, I don’t think we can exclude the possibility that he killed her because she was queer

she btw consistently calls the children their children she is now gonna raise, so everything about the children not having a mother anymore and no one in their life anymore is confimed to be complete erasure of queerness by the media

they hate it when any woman speaks out against them but it especially pisses them off when that woman is a lesbian bcos it breaks one of their biggest lies.

oh. this is why graham linehan is attacking her. god forbid a lesbian comedian have an opinion that differs from hers.

Renee isn't what set him off. It was seeing she had a lesbian partner. And it was in that moment his primal rage at her daring to be with a woman instead of a man drove his actions. He decided right then he was going to slam her to the ground. When she took that possibility from him, he killed her.

I think about how much people wanted Amber Heard dead, how they fantasized about putting her baby in a microwave, and how they cheered on Depp for taunting her bisexuality and domestic partnership with a woman before she met him. That was how the abuse started, and people believed she deserved it.

There are so many unmistakable patterns that have reached a violent apex in this case. The way algorithms and audiences hyperfixate on white women who can be smeared via DARVO tactics, the way video can be framed against victims, the way conservatives leverage post-MeToo rage and narratives.

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

maybe renée good is america's lee han-yeol.

people obsessing about how the current president of korea, who was leader of the opposition during the strange events that followed president yoon's illegal declaration of martial law in december 2024 sometimes seem to forget that korean democracy is only 38 and a half years old

1. Texas A&M has banned a philosophy teacher from teaching Plato because it has "gender ideology" in it. The banning stems from excerpts from Plato’s Aristophanes’ Myth of the Split Humans and Diotima’s Ladder of Love. Subscribe to support our journalism.

it is almost astounding how the wife gets erased by most of the media.

these fascists don't want people to engage in actual acts of resistance. they want you marching in circles and being complacent while ICE terrorizes communities.

Senate Democrats are CURRENTLY negotiating a plan to INCREASE ICE funding by another 10%

Not even for their last meal, the only thing that should get past their lips are [redacted]

NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:

I'm struggling to find work due to multiple disabilities including long covid, I'm broke, my fridge is empty, and I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills. If you feel like making an old trans lesbian's life a little better, my Paypal/cashapp/venmo info is in my bio.

Help a disabled trans woman afford food if you can. Anything helps.

When it collapses it will seem sudden, all at once. But if something doesn't change soon this regime is finished. Keep striking, keep fighting, keep pushing where you can, keep building resilience and mutual aid, keep caring for one another and building the world you want to live in.

They have significantly destabilized the greatest imperial enforcement machine in history, one that was already creaky with age and overuse. They have displayed little capacity to build anything remotely equivalent. The US state has never been weaker in our lifetimes

They are extremely unpopular, unable to significantly expand their forces (they are already poaching local police for ICE and reassigning significant percentages of FBI/ATF toward enforcement), lacking in organizational resilience and one bum ticker/blood clot away from total movement collapse

Same, if I die, don't let them lie about my life and my sexuality, don't let them erase who I was so my death is more presentable, don't fucking deadname me, and don't let some random people I barely know talk about me like they knew me just cuz they're related to me!

I'm having a hard time finding the original interview because news sites are constantly editing shit now but it's referenced here, and I'll add a screencap just in case www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

it is incredibly grim to have witnessed the consolidation in real time of a narrative erasing a queer person's queerness because the statement of an ex-family member was not interrogated by journalists before it blew up the internet it can't just be "who can get a quote the fastest, from whoever"

taking my life in my hands to unlock replies and quotes on this spread (and then immediately muting bc I cannot be emotionally available to debate on this) because I want the corrected information shared by other people to spread as far as the misinformation did

cool okay so it's exactly what every queer person was most afraid of

Contrary to what grandpa said, the youngest kid has a HUGE family; in addition to Renee's family & Ms. Good's family, his dad's obit listed him as being survived by nine siblings, five grandparents & four parents. Paternal grandpa is FAR from being the only person who can take care of the child.

In summary, three children have lost their mother -- two of them of an age where they DEFINITELY saw the news, and one might lose both moms, unless MN probate court can figure their shit out.

4. If she & the other Ms. Good are married legally, it was in a state they didn't live in (so I had no way to look other than taking the time to search each state individually & I was not going to do that) or a state where those records aren't public.

3. She changed her name to append "Good" to "match her partner's" in MO in late 2023. At that time, she wasn't married (no spouse is listed on the name change petition)

2a. She wasn't a "widow" except possibly in the most technical sense (i.e. if her divorce wasn't finalized by the time the ex-husband died). 2b. Ex-husband's obituary doesn't mention "survived by his wife of five years" (they married in CO at the end of 2018), which also points to separated/divorced

1. She had 3 children. 2 of them, 15 & 12, live with their dad & stepmom in CO. The youngest is from her 2nd marriage & is 6. 2. Her 2nd husband died in May 2023 & was living in OR at the time. She was living in KS. They were either separated or divorced (those records aren't available).

Inspired by a recent post from @clairewillett.bsky.social, allow me to share some facts about Renee Nicole Good that I found last night in public records that are appearing in few, if any, articles about her. Keep in mind this took me HALF AN HOUR to find & is 100% public records.

I also want to say that if you are doing "a Christian widow" or "widow of a veteran", both of which I have seen, you are showing your hand

if I die, please don't let them say shit like "she sang in church choirs since the age of 10 and was an active parishioner at St. Andrew" and omit the fact that I'm a lesbian to make middle America feel bad that I'm dead when otherwise they wouldn't care

like yesterday I was willing to make allowances because everything was unfolding so fast, I too saw the news article about the dead husband and the kid and the grandparents before I saw any mention of the wife who'd been in the car with her but I don't think that excuse exists on day 2

the spectrum of queer experience is vast and complex, and none of us know what's going on inside families that are not our own but my feed is full of media outlets describing a woman with a very-much-living-and-in-the-picture wife first and foremost as though she was a man's widow, and I just

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

There are so many acts of bravery by every day people while elected Dems cower behind focus group tested talking points.

trying to get some funds in to move myself and my gf in together, somewhere north of seattle, to get ourselves out of our shitty situations. please repost or donate what you can, anything is appreciated www.gofundme.com/f/help-aeryn...

It's interesting that Vance has said that the officer has "absolute immunity" Which obviously rules out legal repercussions and accountability. Which in turn forces people to look to less legal sources of accountability. Does he understand that or is he just so arrogant he thinks his word is law?

It's just typical fascist overreach. They can't deal with being seen as weak, so they feel it necessary to constantly present themselves as powerful and invulnerable.
