Porte-à-porte dans les quartiers populaires, “sondage XXL” et “tonnelle du candidat”... A Lille, l’ensemble des prétendants au beffroi ont choisi de mettre en avant leur capacité d’écoute des préoccupations des habitants. Problème : leur récit des attentes des Lilloises et des Lillois est très différent.
Faute de financements de l'État, la Région Grand Est comptait supprimer 652 places dans les formations d'infirmières. Avec l'adoption du budget de l'État le 20 janvier, la collectivité est revenue sur sa décision.
Bill Donohue, president of the anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Catholic League, devoted almost 650 words on the group’s website to smearing Renee Nicole Good – the queer wife and mother who was fatally shot in the head by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while she was driving away from him.
Donahue called Good a “professional left-wing zealot who rejected every tenet of civil disobedience,” echoing the current administration’s repeated propaganda that anti-ICE protestors are paid “agitators.” He was reacting to a statement from the public policy arm of the Presbyterian Church, which compared Good to Martin Luther King Jr., saying her “life and death echo” his “same moral call.”
Donahue called the comparison “obscene” and said it “dishonored” King. He incorrectly claimed that Good “ran her car into an ICE agent,” despite video evidence proving otherwise.
“Renee Good was the complete antithesis of what King stood for,” Donahue ranted, claiming she “taunted, harassed and stalked” ICE agents and “trained others to do the same.”
Donahue then traced Good’s actions protesting ICE, denigrating her queer identity (calling her wife her “female lover”) and seeming to imply that she had it coming.
“Both carried whistles, the purpose of which was to alert illegal aliens that ICE agents were in the vicinity, thus obstructing the pursuit of justice,” he wrote. He then claimed that Ross had acted rationally in shooting Good as she drove away because he was traumatized from a previous incident where he had been dragged by a car.
“No one can blame him for not wanting to endure the same experience again, which explains why he acted so quickly to defend himself. Anyone in his shoes would have done the same.”
He also argued that Good was guilty of assault and battery.
“Renee Good’s blood is on the hands of the anti-ICE agitators,” he concluded. “They are itching for a confrontation, and they have no interest in following the nonviolent model of Martin Luther King. Indeed, they have more in common with violent street gangs than they do practitioners of King’s philosophy and activism.”
The Catholic League is vehemently anti-LGBTQ+, with posts on its site endlessly praising the president; claiming that trans inclusion is “the greatest child abuse scandal of our day”; and decrying “the queering of America” as “a culturally induced condition” that “serves no legitimate interest.”
Donahue’s denigration of Good is in line with the administration’s messaging on her death. Donald Trump often claims that liberal protestors are “professional agitators” to discredit them, not as a statement of fact. Last week, he accused Good herself of being one. He referred to her wife, Becca Good, as her “friend” and said that they were both “highly disrespectful of law enforcement.”
“They were harassing, they were following for days and for hours, and I think frankly, they were professional agitators. And I’d like to find out- We are going to find out who’s paying for it, with their brand-new signs and all their [inaudible],” Trump said. There is no reason to believe that the Goods were paid for anything related to what happened.
Trump also posted on Truth Social after the killing and called Good “very disorderly,” saying that she “viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” which contradicts multiple videos shot of the interaction.
Out Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) has compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Nazis. She is part of a small group of Congress members who plan to introduce an impeachment resolution against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, who has called Good a “domestic terrorist.”
While DHS claims that ICE agents use aggressive tactics against people who stalk and obstruct their law enforcement activities, Craig said, “I don’t think any city in America, or any state in America has ever seen this type of lawless behavior by federal law enforcement.”
“Every American should be outraged. Every Minnesotan should be outraged, and at the same time, we should continue to peacefully protest what’s happening,” Craig told Cabrera. “I’ve never seen such an out-of-control agency.”
