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.

Stop the ride, I want off.
In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

When hate symbols are presented as trendy, discounted, and algorithmically surfaced, they stop being treated as warnings
That shift is dangerous, and entirely preventable.

“Hey, Siri, what is the Streisand effect?” 🙃 I happily canceled my Paramount+ subscription earlier in 2025 - about a month after it renewed (of course) - because of all of these messes. I’m old enough to remember when “legacy media” was something to be respected and revered… lol.
if bari weiss hadn't pulled that 60 Minutes piece it likely would've gotten very little attention, but now she's been revealed as the bowdlerizing incompetent she is. i love this journey for her.
