This is incredibly moving and tells you a lot about who Renee Good was.

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.

Don’t let the professionally dishonest & the intentionally disingenuous frame an issue as a binary choice of either getting run over or shooting a person. There is literally a universe of options between those two extremes. Stop listening to dolts or liars. Options, create them, and use them…

The question if a police shooting is justifiable is just 1 question to ask. 1st: this wasn’t justifiable. But for me the real question is was it inevitable. As police, we must do everything we can to avoid deadly force. Many times the suspect makes it inevitable. Not in this case

Congrats!
Welp, I survived the hardest semester of law school. Barely. B minus and two C plus. Terrible but doable. Civpro was insane. I did say in August this semester would be the one to hurt me. Two murder trials plus work plus life plus I’m lazy. But it’s over. And now it gets good.

Two states spoke with one voice.
One chose neglect and calls it pride.
The other chose care and calls it duty.
Outcomes are not mysteries.
They are receipts.
Vote for abandonment and it will never let you go.

My hat is off to DaWokeFarmer and the job he’s doing. He is uniquely qualified to irritate the piss out of these ICE hoods. I’m glad he’s on our side. Keep it up, my dear man. Everyone in my family got ICE whistles in their stockings this year, so we’re doing our part!

Just like slavery, Native Indian genocide or the Holocaust, we don’t erase history, we tell and learn from it. I get the inclination, but to erase is to ignore.

I think they should be barred from having any other for profit job if they take the pension.
...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

How many were ICE?
The U.S. added only 64,000 jobs in November 2025, with a big loss of 105,000 in October, and the unemployment rate hit 4.6% — the highest since 2021, signaling a slowdown. Overall job growth has decelerated compared to earlier years, with many months below expectations.

Your doctor can perform a blood test to check for measles antibodies.
If you got a measles shot between 1963-1967 and or only received one dose, you may need a booster.
Vaccines have proven effective since 1796.

It doesn’t have to be this way. This is what happens when vaccination rates drop. If you traveled to theses areas recently, please watch for signs of measles. Talk to a doctor as needed.
If you have plans to travel to these areas, please protect yourself and family. Vaccines save lives.

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.
