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.

Damn. Facts are hard for these monsters. ICE goons shouldn’t murder people, if they don’t want to be called murderers.

The Trump administration is certainly rife with individuals whose fealty to one man dwarfs their qualifications to occupy cabinet -level positions (McMahon, Patel, Noem etc.) but VP is so far over JD Vance’s head that it’s cringe-worthy / squirm-level embarrassing.

Interesting NYT article on oil extraction potential in Venezuela. The graphic comparing various countries oil reserves certainly dispenses with any pretense of fentanyl or cocaine trafficking as a White House admin rationale for regime change & military intervention 💰
