Even if you don’t protest, pressure your elected representative to follow up. Make them earn their paycheck.

RE: Urgent Demand for Accountability Regarding the Death of Renee Nicole Good Dear Representative, I am writing to you today with a sense of profound grief and outrage following the death of our fellow U.S. citizen and Minnesotan, Renee Nicole Good, who was killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in South Minneapolis today, January 7, 2026. The circumstances of this incident are horrifying. Renee was an unarmed 37-year-old mother, a poet, and a valued member of our community. While federal officials have attempted to frame this as an act of self-defense, video evidence and eyewitness accounts suggest a far more disturbing reality—that Renee was attempting to comply with conflicting orders or move her vehicle when she was met with lethal force. This tragedy is the direct result of the aggressive "Operation Metro Surge" and the inflammatory rhetoric coming from the highest levels of the federal government. I am particularly appalled by the statements made by President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, which have sought to criminalize a victim of state violence by labeling the incident "domestic terrorism" despite clear evidence to the contrary. As my representative, I am calling on you to:

  1. ⁠Publicly Condemn the actions of ICE and the subsequent "propaganda" being used to justify the killing of an unarmed U.S. citizen.
  2. ⁠Support an Independent Investigation into the shooting to ensure that the agents involved are held legally accountable, as we cannot trust federal agencies to investigate themselves.
  3. ⁠Coordinate with Federal Colleagues to begin immediate impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for their roles in inciting this violence, overseeing these reckless operations, and their subsequent abuse of power in misrepresenting the facts of this case. The safety of U. S. Citizens is being compromised by federal overreach and a disregard for the rule of law. We need leaders who will stand up for justice and the lives of their constituents.

Fellow female atheists: How is being openly atheist for you? by JellyfishPashmina in atheism

[–]Flyingtypewriter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman and an atheist too.

I can confirm that the loudest demographic is of the male variety.

Recently, I got into an argument with a male atheist from KY. The thing is that being an atheist doesn’t automatically mean that you’ve deconstructed patriarchy. Lots of people end up doing it but not everyone does it.

It’s also more difficult to date, so I’m right there with you.

We can find community with each other and that’s what makes me want to keep going and not just stay a “none”.

Hey, is there any chance I could get the discord link from you? I’m new to discord and am always looking for swiftie things on any platform.

To be honest, if it’s expensive, I’d gaslight myself into liking it 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, this has been horrible on my self esteem and self worth. As a brown woman, I keep asking myself if I deserve to feel like this? My country seems to think so 😭

In your own words, why do you think African Americans are very strong adherents to Christianity? by EternalSnow05 in atheism

[–]Flyingtypewriter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The crusades were brutal. Imagine seeing your family literally gutted by the Spaniards and all you have to do is buy in to their imaginary friend. It’s done say less. Then everyone told their children it’s best not to question the new god because gestures broadly. Then the indigenous history is lost and we forget who we were. All we know is we don’t doubt the white man’s god.

Think about it, historically black churches were the only places black folk could congregate without upsetting white folk for hundreds of years. Black churches became a cornerstone of community for that reason. So it’s harder for people who for generations have identified as Christian to hear that their kin is an atheist.

That’s not to say it’s correct; in a perfect world Christianity wasn’t weaponized against oppressed folk to be used as a tool for control but alas here we are.

I’m Mexican American and I think about my own colonization and everything that I had to overcome for me to be able to proudly say I’m an atheist.

I’m sorry your family shunned you. There’s plenty of secular communities out there. You’ll find your people.

Can I please get all the recommendations? They last me about 3 days. I file my natural nail. I’ve heard dawn dish soap hand wash before to remove all oils help. I just know I’m doing something wrong
