A whistleblower has claimed that the FBI allegedly halted an investigation into the death of Renee Good, a queer mother of three killed by an ICE agent, because Director Kash Patel did not want the warrant to describe her as a ‘victim’.
According to Senate Judiciary Democrats, forensic teams were reportedly ordered to stand down while the warrant was rewritten, delaying evidence collection.
The allegations suggest that Patel aimed to cast Good not as a victim but as a threat to law enforcement, potentially obstructing standard civil rights and use-of-force protocols.
I sure hope you’re right, but I worry that the Democrats will be stubborn and support Israel even if it lets the fascists keep winning. And I worry that the voters will be stubborn and “support” Palestine even if it lets the fascists keep winning. If either of those doesn’t happen, it’ll stop getting worse for a while. But if they both happen, then trans people will be fucked and Palestinians will be fucked, and some people will be convinced that only one party is to blame, rather than both.
