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 would love to talk to anyone interested in joining our Radiation Oncology Network @UPMCHillmanCC! We have several positions available for docs and physicists. Each position benefits from the support of our network with significant academic opportunities for interested candidates. Feel free to DM or email me. Links below.

Imagine you are 36 years old, with a young family.

You are diagnosed with cancer.

You have curative treatment, and it all goes well.

Completely according to plan.

Four years later, cancer free, and back to normal life you apply to take out a mortgage.

The mortgage is declined, because no insurance company will offer a mortgage insurance policy.

Or any insurance policy for anything else.

Especially for young people who have had a diagnosis of cancer, and survived, this is particularly cruel.

I wrote this poem for every @lionsofficial player, management, backroom staff for every friend and fan and family, every partner and sponsor for the previous Lions and for the future Lions.

From prosecutor to senator to vice president, Kamala Harris has always been for the people. I know her next chapter will be no different, whatever shape it takes.

The Wallabies all wore fake moustaches at their captain's run today in honour of retiring scrum-half Nic White.

Joe Schmidt looks the part!

[Paul Williams @thepaulwilliams]

It's amazing listening to O'Gara on comms.

Spotting and calling defensive disconnects before they happen.

Calling tens kicking 50/22s prior to them happening.

Him and Biggar have been incredible.

A true Lion put the team first 👍💯🏉🧠

Gary Ringrose you’ve done more to raise awareness of Brain Injuries in Rugby by setting the example there is no game without your Brain 👍💯

[Sonny Bill Williams @SonnyBWilliams]

Congratulations @lionsofficial on wrapping up the series. I thought the @wallabies were great tonight! If they continue to play this style, there’s some good years ahead.

The real winners for me are the travelling @lionsofficial fans, the sea of red was special to witness live ❤️🏉

[Murray Kinsella @Murray_Kinsella]

Nailed it, @INPHOjames!

[Leinster Rugby @leinsterrugby]

If in doubt, sit them out. 💙

Ahead of a new season, a powerful message for us all, from someone at the top of their game.

Get well soon, Garry. 💙

I was once invited overseas to give a lecture on being a perceptive doctor

While at the conference, another oncologist broke the bad news to me that I had unknowingly set myself on fire by backing into a lit candle in a crowded room (I just thought it was getting warm in there)

The measles vaccine is safe and effective in protecting kids and communities. We don’t have to live with these headlines and the heartbreaking stories underneath them. “Measles Cases Hit Highest Total Since U.S. Eliminated the Disease. Experts worry that if vaccination rates do not improve, deadly outbreaks will become the new normal.” Via @NYTimes

Irish Cancer Society CEO Averil Power spoke on @RTE earlier, highlighting how crucial targets for timely treatment for cancer patients are being missed

We're calling on Govt. to deliver investments in cancer staff, buildings & equipment in Budget 2026 to ensure targets are met

When it comes to our children's health and future, I stand with pediatricians, scientists, and public health experts. Evidence-based medicine and scientific expertise should guide our health recommendations - not politics or misinformation. https://t.co/3A5bA4wkaP

Brilliant definition of a way to use SBRT/SRS as a strategic tool in cancer treatment management. https://t.co/DSSbk0nrM4
