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.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Citizen impact statements read by Hakeem Jeffries -- alphabetically by state -- will force the final vote to take place during the day.

Republicans are so pissed and are heckling.

Jeffries chastised them for disrespecting their constituents by not listening to what they have to stay.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

Take care of yourselves out there. Your being frustrated and scared and angry won't make anything better. Take a deep breath and walk away for a bit if you need to. Me? I'm logging off for now and listening to this on repeat:

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

If you love wolves, you should be very concerned - the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the very legislation that saved gray wolves, Red Wolves, and Mexican gray wolves, is under attack. Call on your representatives in Congress to save the ESA.
