"When shown footage of ICE agent Jonathan Ross shooting Good three times in the face and then calling her a 'fucking bitch' as she lay dying, Noem smirked. That moment, her smirk as an American citizen’s life was taken by Trump’s paramilitary forces, captures the moral rot of this regime."

Why has the Trump regime (and MAGA's) response to the murder of Renee Good been so viciously misogynistic and homophobic? Jeet Heer says:
"Some have been puzzled by the fact that MAGA, a movement of white nationalism, is so quick to demonize white women. But there is no paradox here. White nationalism depends on a certain type of white woman: someone who is 'loyal' to the white race and compliant with patriarchy."

"The ideal white woman follows the classic model of barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen as well as being obedient to a male husband. ...
The fact that MAGA is so intent on demonizing Good shows that the defense of her killing rests on thin ice. After all, if it were clear-cut that Ross was acting in self-defense, any discussion of Good’s character would be unnecessary."
"But precisely because the evidence doesn’t support the self-defense narrative, MAGA is trying to shore up support by portraying Good as someone who deserved to die. This defamation of a murdered woman is itself proof of the moral depravity of MAGA."

"The regime in Washington knows perfectly well that if they are impeached, removed from power, and proper oversight is exercised over the machinations of the federal government, they will be subject to criminal prosecution. For this reason, they will resort to brutal means to hang on to power. This is an incredibly dangerous moment for the United States and the world."
