For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity.
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.
Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?
Portland State has one of the best Mid Major players in college basketball, in 6’4 PG Jaylin Henderson.
Henderson is having a strong season where he’s averaging 18/4/6 along with 2 steals and 1 block a game. He’s also 2nd in Big Sky PPG and APG.
Henderson is one of the best guard athletes in the country and uses his explosive athleticism to be an elite slasher who has the ability to make plays for himself and create for his teammates. Henderson is shooting 61% at the rim on 80 attempts while also being one of the best playmakers in the country. Henderson also has a strong catch and shoot jumper where he’s shooting 41% on catch and shoot threes, and he’s a positive defender who is aggressive.
A whole family full of doctors is more than a flex — it’s a legacy. In a country where Black medical students make up less than 10%, this isn’t just rare — it’s revolutionary. Representation saves lives and inspires futures.

This message from Shedeur Sanders after going undrafted in the 1st round is exactly why he has the resolve, poise and maturity to lead an NFL Franchise. He didn’t hide. He stood tall in the face of adversity and disappointment. This adds to his testimony.
🎥 @DeionSandersJr
This is a damn disgrace. How in the hell is @Shedeur not off the board, not drafted yet. Y’all still think this doesn’t have anything to do with teams hatin on @DeionSanders. This kid is a first rounder. In a different way, this is Kaepernick all over again…..being kept out. A damn disgrace. I don’t care what anyone says!
James Malone just flipped a Pennsylvania State Senate district that went for Trump by 15 points last year.
This is what building Democratic power looks like. Congratulations, Senator-elect Malone!
The #SignalGate episode is far, far more serious than the US administration is trying to suggest. It is not just a question of Mike Waltz making a “mistake” by accidentally including a journalist. They should never have been using the medium for the purpose they did.🧵1/6
