I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

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.

Gov. Polis tells CBS that Tina Peters' sentence is "harsh" and he's considering clemency for her. Peters, sentenced to 9 years on 4 felonies, has never disavowed her role as county clerk to breach her own election system to prove Trump's lie that he won 2020.
