Summary
On January 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a killing that was captured by multiple camera phones and witnessed by dozens. Since the killing, the Trump administration has used several gendered lines of attack to discredit Renee Nicole Good, to celebrate the killing and to make propagandistic hay of this murder. In this emergency episode (recorded 2 days after the killing), Moira and Adrian talk about the killing, about the question of gender and where we go from here. Among the topics discussed: the echoes of the murder of George Floyd, the parallels with the Gestapo, and the "look what you made me do"-theory of authority.

| 0:08.8 | And I'm Maure Dodd again. |
| 0:10.1 | Whether we like it or not, we're in bid with the right. |
| 0:14.0 | So, Adrian, today we are talking about something kind of sad. |
| 0:19.6 | We're talking about a murder in Minneapolis, the death |
| 0:22.1 | of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of ICE officer Jonathan David Ross. That's right. And |
| 0:30.2 | it's something that we knew we had to cover the moment it happened at the same time. I don't, |
| 0:34.9 | I think this is fair to say it's not an an episode either of us was or is looking forward to. |
| 0:40.4 | You know, this will be a lot of shouting and a lot of just anger. |
| 0:44.3 | We're going to try and do as much analysis as we can, but keep in mind, a lot of this is also just us being really, really sad, really, mad. |
| 0:54.2 | This is also a story that is still unfolding. |
| 0:57.2 | We are recording on Friday, January 9th. |
| 1:00.1 | Renee died on Wednesday the 7th, so there's still a lot we don't know and a lot about how this story is going to play out that is not yet clear from where we are that might be clear |
| 1:13.9 | or more clear from the time you listen. So, you know, keep that in mind. |
| 1:18.1 | Yeah, they will have discovered that she's no angel or something. |
| 1:21.9 | It's this right down to the fact that this happened in Minneapolis, it's just so sickening |
| 1:26.5 | in that like all your |
| 1:28.1 | muscle memory you sort of kick back in. And so they do clearly on the other side as well. And the |
| 1:32.8 | other side is not just Republicans. It's not just MAGA. It's also reactionary centrists who |
| 1:37.4 | seem to be treating like outrage at what we see in those videos of René Good's murder as confirmation of what they've been saying |
| 1:45.8 | about the foolishness of saying defund the police all along, right? |
