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.

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock? Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

No. The rule of law and its erosion cannot be ignored. The slow degradation of the law as an institution has created the conditions for this criminality to go unchecked. Respect for the constitutional order— and a nation that understands it and abides by it— needs to be rebuilt now more than ever.

Here's the newly released superseding indictment against Maduro and his wife: www.justice.gov/opa/media/14...
For over 25 years, leaders of Venezuela have abused their positions of public trust
and corrupted once-legitimate institutions to import tons of cocaine into the United States.
NICOLÁS MADURO MOROS, the defendant, is at the forefront of that corruption
and has partnered with his co-conspirators to use his illegally obtained authority and the
institutions he corroded to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States. Since his
early days in Venezuelan government, MADURO MOROS has tarnished every public office he
has held. As a member of Venezuela's National Assembly, MADURO MOROS moved loads of
cocaine under the protection of Venezuelan law enforcement. As Venezuela's Minister of Foreign
Affairs, MADURO MOROS provided Venezuelan diplomatic passports to drug traffickers and
facilitated diplomatic cover for planes used by money launderers to repatriate drug proceeds from
Mexico to Venezuela. As Venezuela's President and now-de facto ruler, MADURO MOROS
