For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity.
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country.
The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives.

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
Since Nick Saban was quoted recently as saying he regretted leaving @LSUfootball for a shot at the pros, I want to be the first to suggest Nick leave the broadcast booth and return to the exciting world of college football. Again. As head coach of LSU. C’mon Nick. We miss you.
Purchasing Twitter by Musk was part of a much larger strategy folks. Look at the money trail of who gave him the money to do so. He knew, and THEY certainly knew it could be used as a huge disinformation/propaganda microphone to further certain political agendas.

Not just newspapers. All media. Newspapers, television, radio, cable channels, whatever. Let’s talk about the Sinclair broadcast group for instance.
So who is the @LAGovJeffLandry donor who put this stupid idea into his head? Jeff, leave LSU alone. It is not your personal fiefdom. You going to pull a DeSantis and try to put a big donor in as President of LSU next? Think again. This ain’t Florida.
.@LAGovJeffLandry is petitioning #LSU to revive its tradition of bringing its live tiger mascot to home football games, even though veterinarians are concerned about forcing the animal to resume what was once a pregame tradition #lalege #lagov

Sickening. Terrifying. @LAGovJeffLandry you are a despicable human being. Of all the problems this state has — and that list is long — this is what you think is important? Putting women at risk of bleeding out and dying during childbirth is your priority? Got it.
Starting 10/1, mifepristone and misoprostol - two drugs used for medication abortion - will become controlled, dangerous substances in Louisiana.
This political move will have dangerous consequences for pregnancy care.

“And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about.”

Wake up people. More excellent reporting from @Mike_Hixenbaugh regarding the sad state of Texas. My heartfelt appreciation for the librarians who had to endure the frustration, the fear, and the madness of this witchunt.
NEW for @NBCNews: For 2+ years, a Texas lawman with ties to the Oath Keepers sought to charge school librarians with felonies.
Their crimes?
Books.
We got the full case file, including body cam footage of the deputy approaching librarians.
