Renee Good is a crisis for the Trump regime: not because they care about her life, but because ICE murdering her makes ICE look bad. They’ve been telling all these stories about all the imaginary violence ICE officers face. In their minds, it’s the people on the streets who were supposed to lose their cool first. Now they’re falling over themselves to make that happen.
We just want ICE gone, but their bosses want them dead. And no, I’m sure they do not understand this.

The little owl, Athena noctua, is well-known as the companion of the goddess Athena, though it is uncertain how she became associated with the nocturnal birds. In Europe, the owl therefore represents wisdom and is the symbol of many a university.
The ancient Greeks showed #Athena with her favourite bird in their art, like for instance this bronze statuette of Athena flying her owl, dated ca.…

"Feeling chirpy: how listening to birdsong can boost your wellbeing"

The thing that Renee Good now knows, that Tortuguita knows, that Heather Heyer knows, that I only know because I glimpsed for a second, is that when you die fighting oppression you live forever in that memory of resistance. When we carve their names into a monument, along with all the other names of the murdered and disappeared, that will stand, perhaps, across from the statue of Willem in the park where the Northwest Detention Center once stood, they will always be reminders of what it looks like to sacrifice everything in order to be on the right side of history.
The names of those who resist live as ghosts, summoned by name to haunt future oppressors, summoned by name to awaken our own conscience to the call. Martyrs, whispered like the White Rose or yelled as a threat like John Brown, cannot die so long as any of us with a bit of spine carries even an ounce of humanity.
It is possible to die knowing you did the right thing, and I have felt it. There is an acceptance that is impossible to imagine without being there, without feeling it for yourself. You have nothing to fear in resisting, even if it ends you. But you will never forget the shame of doing nothing if you fail to.
Man, nerves are just shot in Minneapolis right now. Everyone is on edge and frayed. Sightings are flying, rumors are flying, facts are flying. Feels like things are teetering. Everyone is working so hard to hold the community together, but I’m really worried that something is going to break.

The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.
