What makes stories like this so alarming is not only the individual tragedy, but the broader pattern they reveal: escalating state power exercised without clear accountability, transparency, or meaningful public consent. When policies are implemented through force rather than democratic legitimacy, the risk of violence and instability rises—for communities, for institutions, and ultimately for national security.
History shows that once situations reach this level of confrontation, options narrow quickly. The only real chance to prevent further escalation is earlier—when citizens are still able to clearly articulate priorities, demand guardrails, and require public accountability before policy failures harden into irreversible harm.
If we want fewer tragedies and less chaos, civic engagement can’t wait until after the damage is done. Public priorities must be visible, documented, and impossible to ignore—at home and abroad.
Great to get information on a way forward! Over and over we hear the lie that a person was “weaponizing” their vehicle against ICE agents, only to have it fall apart in court based on video evidence. This is a good way to stop it cold (pun intended).
Kristy (K9) Noem claims the public execution of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis today was justified because Renee was committing an “Act of domestic terrorism.” Apparently K9 Kristy doesn’t realize we have cameras now. We are all witnessing the rise of a fascist regime before our very eyes via a smart phone. This administration continues to boldly lie to our face despite what the film footage shows. If they are so inclined to lie about this event, then what other incidents have they lied about? When you erode the public's confidence, then you erode the fabric of a nation. Kristy Noem was right about it being an “Act of domestic terrorism”, the problem is it’s being committed against the American public. (Latino ViewPoint)
