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.

I need you to read this article.

Suicide rates in the EOD community are double that of other jobs in the military.

Rare cancers are higher than other jobs.

These are people that put others before self.

Dear Congressman Chip Roy,

You don’t know me, but we technically share the same home. I was 14-years-old and a fifth-generation Texan when you moved to Austin in 2000 to begin law school there.

Austin is where I grew up. It’s where I graduated high school. It’s where I gave my life to Christ. It’s where I walked into an Army recruiter’s office when I was 18-years-old and began that necessary journey.

You now represent parts of Austin in the 21st congressional district there, which you have done since 2019.

Perhaps naïvely, I would like to believe you have seen the best of Austin. There’s the great food and music and culture, of course, but that’s not what I mean.

I’m talking about the people of Austin — people like my grandmother, who has made a home there since long before I was born and you were still in diapers in Maryland.

My grandmother is not a Christian and certainly not religious otherwise. That did not stop her from attending her granddaughter’s baptism, which I’m fairly certain is the first time she had set foot in a church in her life. Though she didn’t understand my choice to become a Christian, she wanted to support me because she loves me.

She didn’t need any other reason.

I would personally say that’s what it best means to be from Austin: the prioritization of community and acceptance of our differences.

I saw your remarks yesterday to the press—flanked by Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Scalise—in which you said the following in regards to the seven million Americans who participated in the more than 2,700 “No Kings” protests nationwide this past Saturday:

"The truth is the Marxists, the radicals, and the Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a King and that King is Jesus. And the President has been willing to say it, his administration has been willing to say it and Charlie Kirk was willing to say it and he got killed for it."

When I first saw your remarks, I couldn’t help but feel bad for you. I mean that.

These are the words of someone who seems to be in a constant state of fear and distrust, and I am left only with the impression that you are very scared in this moment and speaking entirely from a place of fear.

I will admit that I struggle to understand that fear because the whole of Christ’s teachings carry the exact opposite of the message you gave: that we are not to fear each other and in fact, through God’s perfect love, are called upon to drive out fear.

That doesn’t mean we will never fear each other. The holiest among us experience fear because we’re all human and all vastly imperfect in God’s eyes, after all.

But it does mean that fear of each other, however human, is not a holy characteristic and should be held accountable through efforts to emulate God’s perfect love as best as we can.

I think if we’re being honest with each other, as two imperfect children of God, it is quite fair to point out that you were not trying your best to emulate God’s perfect love in that moment.

To be honest, Sir, I seeing nothing in the way of effort toward following Christ’s teachings in the remarks you made, and I know, deep down, you agree.

But I want to address the curious premise of your remarks: that if Jesus is King and the protests were billed as “No Kings,” then the protestors—myself included—were focused on rejecting Christ.

Sir, I think your grasp of the concept of “Jesus is King” is sorely lacking, and I want to be helpful in getting you to a place of fuller understanding in your walk with God.

Scripture is quite clear on the difference between earthly kingship (our political systems) and divine kingship (the throne of creation).

I’m not sure when you last read your Bible—so please forgive me if I’m pointing out something you already know—but Christ specifically rejected earthly kingship. He literally ran away from it.

I hope you’ll recall in John 6:15 that after Christ performed the miracle of feeding a hungry crowd of five thousand with five small loaves and two small fish offered to Him and His disciples by a little boy, He sensed the crowd wanted to make Him their king and that made Him retreat to a nearby mountain to avoid such an outcome.

In fact, we are specifically taught that Christ was offered unassailable political power over the entire world by Satan in the wilderness, and He immediately rejected it: “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only’” (Matthew 4:8-10).

When He was being tried by Pontius Pilate for treason against the Roman Empire, He reiterated that His Kingdom is not of this world, and thus, His followers were not to fight to prevent his arrest and persecution (John 18:36).

Christ neither sought nor wanted political power. He could not have been more clear that His Kingdom was not of this earth, and His every action as the Son of God was centered in leading through an unconditional love of others and not through any political apparatus.

Moreover, Christ not only refused political power but rejected the notion that earthly political systems should be undermined in His name. When bad faith actors attempted to set a trap in asking Him if taxes should be paid to the Romans, He famously responded: “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” (Matthew 22:21).

“Jesus is King” is not a political concept to those who understand Christ’s teachings and correctly separate, as Christ clearly did, the temporary nature of earthly political power from the eternal nature of Christ’s divine kingship.

That divine kingship is not manifested in the physical world around us, whether that be a heavily-gilded Oval Office or arguments over human-made laws or the crowns worn by monarchs all over the world or the loud declarations of any aspiring tyrants.

Christ’s divine kingship is manifested in our relationship with God and with Christ and with each other, as Christ explicitly taught. In regards to us, His Throne is only present in our hearts.

I wonder how long it’s been since you read the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), which is basically a summary for how Christ intended us to live on this earthly plane and, in my humble opinion, is one of the greatest things ever written.

Do you remember what He said? Here’s one of the more famous excerpts:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

And I rather love this excerpt:

"But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."

And this part:

"You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven."

I don’t want to give you the impression I’m great at following these instructions. I am very much in a constant struggle to reconcile my inherent imperfections with God’s perfect love.

Nor would I ever claim I’m more righteous than you in the eyes of God. That’s not for me to judge, but even if such a thing could be assessed and quantified, my guess is that the righteousness differential between you and me is so negligible in the vast perfection of God’s perfect love that it would be far too insignificant to consider here.

But I can read and I can use the brain God gave me, and it’s impossible to arrive at any other conclusion in good faith beyond the blessed reasoning that your remarks yesterday, in their entirety, were the furthest thing from Christ’s teachings.

The seven million of us who protested on Saturday—your fellow Americans and many of your fellow Christians—did so because we, too, reject an earthly kingship in the United States.

It had nothing to do with Christ, and it had everything to do with opposing the unlawful, unethical, and immoral actions of Donald Trump, who aspires to be an earthly king, directly threatening the democratic compact of our nation.

Persecuting the meekest among us is the opposite of Christ.

Detaining and abusing migrants and refugees is the opposite of Christ.

Denying food and medicine and housing to those who need it is the opposite of Christ.

Murdering civilians in fishing boats is the opposite of Christ.

Constantly lying is the opposite of Christ.

Lifting up the very wealthy over the very poor is the opposite of Christ.

Engaging in white nationalist rhetoric and actions is the opposite of Christ.

Shielding pedophiles from accountability by participating in the cover-up of a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children is the opposite of Christ.

Even if I were to humor your inaccurate understanding of the concept of “Jesus is King” as a political statement, your actions as a lawmaker, both personally and in abdication of your responsibility to hold Donald Trump accountable, clearly do not support the direct political application of Christ’s teachings.

My non-religious grandmother, were she in power, would come far closer to a true “Jesus is King” government by the natural empathy of her political views being aligned with the human rights imperatives in Christ’s teachings than anything suggested by your record in Congress.

I would say the same is most likely true for any given person who marched on Saturday against earthly kings.

You may take that as an assessment of your righteousness—which, again, is not my place—but it’s really about the logical incongruence between your stated faith in Christ and what Christ actually taught.

I would encourage you to pray on it, and when the next “No Kings” protest takes place, perhaps I’ll see you there in pursuit of God’s glory.
