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 ran for DNC vice chair after massive losses in 2024 because I believed we needed to change our party. Leadership disagreed with my work to primary asleep-at-the-wheel incumbents and challenge the status quo. Now, they are spiking an autopsy of the election that gave us Trump 2.0. If party leaders won't take the steps required to rebuild ourselves into a winning coalition, we will take it into our own hands. That's why @leaderswedeserv is working to elect young, progressive candidates.
Rachel Maddow: “We were within sight of ending AIDS forever within a decade. Marco Rubio and Donald Trump decided they didn’t understand it and they just cut it all off. It is repulsive and going to cause the deaths of millions of people and it’s going to be on Marco Rubio’s head for the rest of his life”
Trump told us he knew nothing about project 2025
That was a lie
Trump told us that Medicaid and head start wouldn't be impacted
That was a lie
Trump told us covid would be gone by the summer of 2020
That was a lie
All he does is lie.
The NAACP strongly opposes @RobertKennedyJr's nomination for Secretary of @HHSGov.
Ahead of today’s nomination hearing, we sent an open letter to U.S. Senate leaders to voice our concerns.
“Let’s not forget - COVID-19 is still alive and disproportionately impacting the Black community. Under no circumstance, should a conspiracy theorist with a track record of disregard for the sanctity of life be appointed to lead one of our nation’s most powerful health institutions.”

@razmig@ApriaHealthcare I just had a similarly bad experience with @@ApriaHealthcare Their sole interest was maintaining their contract. Disregarded my doctor’s orders and incompetent accounting Patients have choices Don’t use them if you don’t have to
Statement on behalf of the Family of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Today, our family has learned that President Trump has ordered the declassification of the remaining records pertaining to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy, and our father, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
For us, the assassination of our father is a deeply personal family loss that we have endured over the last 56 years. We hope to be provided the opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release.”
At this time, the King Family is not taking any interviews as they await further information.
@RepBrecheen@DailyCaller Your particular brand of faith was offended (do you actually go to church? What kind of church? ) you do not speak for all Christians and you shouldn’t legislate your faith.
Four years from now it won't be a Republican entering the White House. We're going to make the Democratic Party the strongest it's been in over half a century.
Happy Birthday, @KamalaHarris!
Thank you for demonstrating a better kind of politics and leading us toward a better future for America’s families and communities.
