Federal immigration officers have started using Renee Good’s death to threaten more U.S. citizens.
A video posted to Reddit showed a screaming ICE agent repeatedly threatening to kill a man who was sitting in his car, asking how he didn’t “learn from what just happened.”
In the two-minute clip, a masked agent wearing a Minnesota Timberwolves hat approached the vehicle already furious, while the driver rolled down his window.
“Stop fucking following us, you are impeding opera…

Many of us learned to survive by staying slightly absent from our own lives.
Not apathy. Not burnout. Something quieter.
A low-grade separation that let us function when feeling everything became too much.
It protected us. But survival is not the same as being alive.
