¡AMNISTÍA GENERAL YA! or, the necessity of making a better America, for our immigrant fellow workers and ourselves

¡AMNISTÍA GENERAL YA! or, the necessity of making a better America, for our immigrant fellow workers and ourselves Early in the morning of Tuesday January 7, 2026 in Minneapolis, MN, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37 year old poet and mom of 3 was shot and killed in her family car in her own neighborhood, while trying to avoid a confrontation with a band of armed men. This foul murder was allegedly committed by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Enforcement and Removal Officer Jonathan Ross (who, of course, is constitutionally presumed innocent until proven guilty in a federal or state court of law, for the record).

Those buildings are maintained by the city’s 200,000 janitors and stationary engineers, 100,000 security officers and 50,000 hotel workers. Those 750,000 workers maintain these one and a half trillion dollars worth of capital in usable condition, and help keep the city’s 8,000 big landlords wealthy.
