On Slave Catchers, Whiteness Killing Whiteness, Movements and Moments
TW: mentions of murder, harassment, abuse, and domestic terrorism.
Two people of pallor, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, have been murdered by modern-day slave catchers in just a little over two weeks in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after a racist podcaster put them on y’all’s president’s radar for no substantiated reason whatsoever.
Modern-day slave catchers have murdered two people of pallor. The U.S. government has given these violent and hateful goons carte blanche to do whatever they want to anyone they please, including anyone legally recording and protesting their domestic terrorism spree.
Two people of pallor, folx who were technically “on paper” U.S. citizens for all intents and purposes (as messy as those words are), were murdered by modern-day slave catchers just three weeks into 2026. This is after 33 recorded ICE-related deaths in 2025 and countless people battered, bloodied, harassed, and terrorized by said modern-day slave catchers:

And yet y’all’s president hasn’t been impeached, the 25th amendment hasn’t been invoked. Neither the House nor the Senate will do anything other than chastise protestors and the citizenry, offer hopes and prayers, and say things like, “We need to do better” or “This is unfortunate, but these agents did what they had to do.” Why?
Because all of this that is happening and will continue to happen is white supremacy in action, and while some people of pallor are starting to get it, the issue is SOMEHOW Y’ALL ARE JUST STARTING TO GET IT BECAUSE Y’ALL ARE STILL SHOCKED THAT THE SLAVE-CATCHERS WILL KILL YOU TOO IF YOU OPPOSE WHITE SUPREMACY.
A.K.A.: history repeating itself. I mean, have y’all not heard of people like John Brown?
Meanwhile, what about the other people of pallor who aren’t somehow shocked, dismayed, and driven to finally stand up and fight?
Hiding in the recesses of their privilege and comfort, or being A-OK with white supremacist domestic terrorism as long as it ain’t near their city or neighborhood.
Is it a good thing that some people of pallor are finally getting it? Yes. Long overdue, but yes. But somehow, after all of this, y’all are still in the minority within your own race, and it is absolutely mind-boggling to witness.
So, how many more people of pallor trying to stand up against white supremacy are going to die this time around in the rinse-and-repeat that is U.S. history for people of pallor to finally get that we’re ALL in danger and that the oppressors will happily oppress all of us to achieve white supremacist ideology?
If history repeats itself, as it’s apt to do in Western culture, there will never be a number that will truly tip the scale for people of pallor, even when whiteness openly kills whiteness.
This is why, in a moment that should usher in a collective uprising and some form of nationwide unity, we are just stuck in another moment where whiteness will need to be saved from itself by those in the most danger.
A.K.A. just another day in the United States of America.
