Related: About this forumRenee Good Was Killed for Not Treating Tyranny as Normal - Steve Shives
Steve discusses the recent killing of Renee Good, a Minneapolis woman shot by an ICE agent, and the broader implications of aggressive federal immigration enforcement under the Trump administration.
Key Points:
The Incident:
- Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent while partially blocking a street with her SUV
- Video shows she was turning away from the agent when shot
- Federal officials claimed without evidence she was engaging in "domestic terrorism"
- Her family says they had stopped to support neighbors with whistles
Impact on Minneapolis:
- Schools closed for the remainder of the week after the shooting
- Virtual learning options offered due to community fear of ICE
- Reports of American citizens and Native Americans being arrested and detained
- Indigenous community members have been targeted, with some still missing
Main Argument:
Steve explores the contradiction of MAGA supporters who claim to be anti-government authority now defending aggressive federal action. His commentary suggests that a particular strain of conservative Christianity that emphasizes obedience to perceived "legitimate authority" without questiona worldview rooted in biblical concepts of submission to authority.
Central Message:
Steve urges people to remember facts and truth, emphasizing that government authority should serve and protect people, not harm them. He warns against normalizing these actions and calls for continued resistance to escalating assaults on liberty and truth.

(1,513 posts)1. IMO, she was ambushed...
I think the two guys shouting conflicting directions to her were the distraction to allow the third guy to get in the controversial position in front of the car. If your videotaping, your focus is not going to allow the quick draw and accurate firing of three shots. Then the fucking bitch comment and the down-low fist bump do it for me.
ICE gets no benefit of the doubt from me. When they stopped, Renee was going to die.
