A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Opinion | Videos of ICE grabbing the wrong people leave me trembling Annell López: I feel increasingly anxious for New Orleans and for myself

I immigrated here legally. And still I’m petrified by Trump’s ICE operations in my city.

I feel increasingly anxious for New Orleans and the ordinary folks who just want to provide for their families and obtain a good education for their children.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

The 1% evade $163B in taxes per year.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes from 2018 - 2022 & 2024.

Billionaires can write off the cost of their private jets and yachts.

While undocumented immigrants paid $96B in taxes in 2022.

The more you look into it, the crazier it gets.

Today’s a good reminder that New Orleans and East Baton Rouge prevented Eddie Rispone from being the governor during Covid. We’ve got the numbers. Just gotta get out the vote.

I take this personally. My dad volunteered while imprisoned at Heart Mountain. He believed in a united front against facism. He was the only one of his squad to survive the war. The 100th was feted in deep red Texas by survivors of the Lost Battalion rescue, a heroic story now buried as “woke DEI”

The Most Repulsive Inauguration Rant in US History, With Even Worse Coverage—A hateful and boring abomination

My New Piece:

Why isn’t the media harping on the fact that Trump won with the smallest margin in a quarter century and got less than half the vote? This should be a 24/7 news story. Are they afraid of Donald, or complicit?

RNC speaker Pam Bondi was once in a 16-month custody battle over a dog with Hurricane Katrina victims Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to return a St. Bernard she adopted from a rescue shelter to the family it belonged to.

Pam Bondi refused to return their dog to a family of Katrina victims after she "adopted" their dog. She fought them in court for 16 months before she gave the dog back. Disqualifying. Character counts. www.businessinsider.com/rnc-speaker-...
