I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

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.
Book 4 of 2026: Whalefall by Daniel Kraus, recced to me by @bdcutkomp.bsky.social — seriously unlike anything I’ve ever read. Fascinating science writing around an absurd premise with supernatural elements (communing with the dead) but somehow it all WORKS. I was riveted. #BookSky
