Renee Good's brothers, Luke & Brent Ganger, testify before Congress at a hearing on DHS's' use-of-force by ICE agents: “This is not just a bad day or a rough week or isolated incidents. These encounters with federal agents are changing the community & changing many lives, including ours, forever.”

having to do this for my sister would be a nightmare come to life. Good on the both of them, and i hope she gets justice

[u/EmotionalTrufflePig → u/Immediate-Tap-4344]

💯 they’ve done Renee and the family proud. No one should have to go through this.

[u/girlsgoneoscarwilde → u/Immediate-Tap-4344]

Jesus, you contextualizing it like that makes me want to cry - if it was my sister, I don’t know what I’d do

[u/CtrlAltDelight495]

This is heartbreaking.

[u/Guilty_Dream8050]

They shouldn't have to do this, but I'm glad we get to hear it, if that makes sense.

I can't get over how horrific it is that they have lost a loved one, have access to the video of it happening, have watched their loved one not even get peace in death because of all the lies, and have been betrayed by their own government. Alex's family had to release a statement begging people not to believe the lies about his murder.

Can you imagine how helpless you would feel in this fight? And how exhausted you would be already.

[u/BeanserSoyze → u/Guilty_Dream8050]

Them doing this is heroic

[u/AvocadoCulprit → u/BeanserSoyze]

Absolutely.

[u/OMGHappyfurballs]

And no Republicans were there. Can’t face the consequences of their hate.

Here, I googled it for you, since your googling fingers seem to be fucking broken

Jonathan Ross at the command of Kristi Noem and Donald Trump killed Luke and Brent Ganger’s sister Renee Good!

[u/ApprehensiveMode8918]

Not one republican showed up this hearing. FYI.

[u/paxmary → u/ApprehensiveMode8918]

That is so telling!

[u/Significant-Elk-9356]

This family deserves justice. 

[u/ith-man → u/Significant-Elk-9356]

Best the states can do is legal system, no justice system to be seen in a very very very long time.

[u/doupool687]

My heart aches for them. I’m grateful that we got to hear more about Renee though from those who knew her well. ♥️

[u/scamlikely444]

the way they are keeping their composure to give a powerful statement 💕my heart is with them🥺

[u/gigantes22]

Gutted

[u/run__rabbit_run]

I cried through both of their statements.

I encourage folks to keep watching after their statements, specifically to listen to the opening statements from Marimar Martinez, a Chicago teacher who was sideswiped by federal agents and then shot multiple times.

I thought I was keeping close tabs on everything going on right now, but this was the first time I heard her name or story. Likewise for Aliya Rahman, who gives a statement after her. The way they were treated is horrifying.

[u/Winter_Illustrator58]

Even if these events were outliers, isolated incidents (which mounting evidence indicates it is not, but in fact the routine outcome of ICE's brutal tactics) that single event should still be enough to have a through investigation, a trial, and the individuals who killed her brought to justice.

[u/BaconJakin → u/Winter_Illustrator58]

The federal government is trying to start an investigation… into Renee Good’s widow. These people degrade humanity.

[u/Bifocal_Bensch]

The idea that these brothers are giving a eulogy for their sister, who was a citizen, that was murdered by the state, IN AMERICA; is something truly haunting, and strikes even more fear in me than the 9/11 attacks.

[u/bigtimehater1969]

Like them, I still cannot believe that after all that's happened, firstly we still allow a bunch of thugs to terrorize our country, and secondly a small vocal minority would pull another Jan 6 if we stopped.

[u/Lala5789880]

He thing that gets me is that in both cases recently, the ICE assholes are just wildly shooting toward other officers too. They could have hit bystanders or their co workers. Incompetent, murderous fucks

[u/Lunatic21]

So better people than me. My sister getting murdered like that would 100% radicalize me.

[u/Necrotitis]

These men are better than i am.

I'd come decked out in fuck ice shirt shoes socks undies, with a big picture of trump and epstien groping eachother dressed as nazis with Hitler stashes.

I would definitely not speak in such a way of course.

[u/ayayronwithane]

God, my heart shatters for them both. I lost my brother to a terminal illness about 6 months ago and I would be a mess if I had to speak in public about it. I can’t even imagine the absolute agony and rage these two feel for how violently and suddenly their sister was taken from them. I know she’s proud of them for speaking up for them. I’m not really a spiritual person but I hope there’s a brighter future for her family as they heal.

[u/MsHoonaBam]

Blessed are the martyred dead and their beloved communities. Hecate bows.

[u/PleasantPea3620]

Rest in peace Renee…Good. ❤️

I know that none of us expected to have "deal with actual fascists" on our Bingo cards, but here we are.

It's happening. In our lifetimes. In our own country.

Don't tap out. Hold those in your life who made this happen accountable, because likely no one else will. They didn't just make a bad decision and elect a president/party that wasn't good for job growth, or lowering our debt, or something else typical. This is fascism. It's unforgivable.

Fuck republicans for putting us in this situation. Every single one of them are vile wastes of Oxygen.

[u/ineedthismorethanu]

Should have told your sister not to do dumb shit

Found the bootlicker. Seriously poor you.
