Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. 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.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records
The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Van Hollen is dead on. ABC caved to a bully and handed him a feast. Appeasement doesn’t tame tyrants it fattens them up. Every time the press bows, the bully grows bolder and we all pay the price. Time to stop feeding the beast and start fighting back.

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document." Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

I think @keithedwards.bsky.social nails it here, with the next step being Republicans like MTG and Burchett rallying around Trump for "exposing the Democrats."
Here’s how it’s about to go down:

Ghislaine names a bunch of Democrats, maybe tosses in a few billionaires.

She says Trump did nothing wrong.

MAGA praises her for “taking down the pedophiles.”

Trump pardons her… for “telling the truth.”

"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."
