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.

[Rep. Joyce Beatty @RepBeatty]

For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this  move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship.

Military service personnel have been seeking outside legal advice about some of the missions the Trump administration has assigned them.

The U.S. strikes against alleged drug traffickers and deployments to U.S. cities have sparked a debate over their legality, and some service members are turning to nonprofit organizations for help.

@IAmAmnaNawaz has more.

Are the wealthy New Yorkers on the bus with us right now, Andrew?

[Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo]

.@ZohranKMamdani’s “plan” provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

How odd that MAGA was so anti-mask in 2020 but is so pro-mask now. In 2020, they "couldn't breathe" through them and this year, they are able to wrestle innocent people to the ground, arrest, and deport them all while wearing a mask. Crazy how mask technology has evolved. 🤔🙄

The World's Only CHILD Military Prison is in Israel

Children should not be in prison

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Since Mar 2024 I’ve warned the UN I serve at great personal cost: the destruction of Gaza’s health system is clear proof of genocidal intent.

I’m in disbelief at its paralysis.

States must break the blockade, send NAVIES with aid, and stop the genocide.History will not forget.

Zohran should hit back with "Cuomo's Law" that prohibits sex offenders from running for public office

[Daria Segalini @DariaMasullo]

I'm all for it if it includes your rich ass as well @andrewcuomo

[Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo]

Today, I am proud to announce that I will be proposing “Zohran’s law," a law that will keep the rich out of New York’s affordable housing.

@ZohranKMamdani : you say freeze the rent. But for who? Rich people like you? Hardworking, working class New Yorkers are being pushed from their neighborhoods.

Let’s build affordable housing that helps the people who need it. Under Zohran’s law, landlords can no longer rent vacant rent-controlled units to the wealthy.

You are a rich person stealing affordable housing from the poor. And you’re not the only one. It’s past time we address this injustice. Let’s build a new NYC that works for the people who need it.

Says the political nepobaby who cost NY State $60 million in legal fees and literally murdered elderly New Yorkers with his handling of COVID

[Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo]

Funny, I thought you only liked living rent-free when someone else is paying for it.

50+ million views later, as @ZohranKMamdani Rentgate continues, many questions remain: why did you tell the NYT and Vital City that you were moving out but never do it? Did your wealthy parents guarantee the apartment? How did you find this apartment- through a special political connection? How could you claim you didn’t know it was rent-stabilized? You were a tenant counselor at the time and the lease must’ve said it.

So many questions, 0 answers and a sad distraction tour.

Zohran’s Law will apply prospectively to new tenants (current tenants are not impacted). Fixing this broken system for the future ensures hardworking New Yorkers get the housing they need to stay in the city.

Let’s make sure our affordable housing is occupied by the people who actually need it, not the wealthy and privileged.

If a corporate Dem had won with the most primary votes *in NYC history*, pundits would be talking about them as the future of the party.

[Daria Segalini @DariaMasullo]

The purpose of a primary is for the members of a party to select the candidate that will represent them at the gen elections. So why is it that after earning his party's nomination NY Dem politicos (w/the exception of @TishJames) haven't endorsed @ZohranKMamdani?

[Daria Segalini @DariaMasullo]

What we don't need? You

[Andrew Cuomo @andrewcuomo]

Our city is in crisis. That’s why I am running to be Mayor of New York City. We need government to work. We need effective leadership. https://t.co/a0vVYRF4iP

[Gloria @NYCdrops]

@RachelBitecofer Our side doesn't get it. How people are comforting themselves with norms & the Constitution. The Supreme Court gave him criminal immunity. What entity or mechanism will restrain him? Trump will control the DOJ. Even if state AG's sue Trump will ignore rulings he doesn't like.

If white women can wear blue bracelets to let us know they’re one of the good ones, what color bracelet can black people wear to let the cops know we’re not a threat so they won’t kill us?

Lyft is offering 50% off for rides to the polls. LFG!

Happy Halloween!!!! As former President Obama says, "Don't boo, vote!" And if you vote early in NYC today, you get a special Halloween I voted sticker...in case saving democracy wasn't motivation enough 😜

[Tony Annett @tonyannett]

Three of the worst oligarchs backing Trump - Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks - are products of South African apartheid. This isn’t a coincidence.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

It would have been one thing if the @latimes and @washingtonpost had made the call years or even several months ago not to endorse.

Electing to do so less than two weeks out is cowardice and incompetence of the highest order.

Utterly pathetic from those in charge.

[Daria Segalini @DariaMasullo]

I didn't think New Yorkers could collectively despise a mayor more than De Blasio...but then Adams was like, "Hold my beer"
