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.

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

This is why EVERY infectious disease doctor gets their annual flu shot- we know that most of the time it’s a mild illness (as defined by not needing hospitalization; it still sucks).
But it’s a nasty virus- and we’ve all seen healthy people die from it. That stays with you…

Brent’s only risk factor for severe flu was that he hadn’t received a flu shot. His parents reminded Brent, 29, to get his flu shot a couple of weeks before his passing. Brent “said he had it on to-do list, but he just never got around to it.”
