A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Guys like Russel Vought are the real perpetrators of the deep state.
He's the architect behind Project 2025 and now taking over DOGE from Musk.
He wants to bring about fascism and bring an end to our democracy. This POS is a traitor to our country.

If you could retweet my tweet below linking to my Etsy shop (2025 half calendars, July-Dec) it would put my shop in front of more eyes and would help more than you know. I'd appreciate it so much. Thankyou 🌿
My Etsy shop's now open for a v. limited print run of half calendars of my tiny posy & botanical photos.
I design my photos using recent neuroscientific research so that looking at them alleviates stress & lift mood.
Each calendar=6 very high quality frameable prints:
