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.

"Gaza is being silenced, as the Israeli occupation keeps international media out and restricts journalists to military control; independent reporting remains impossible. With dozens of violations documented against journalists, barring the press ensures war crimes go unseen and unaccountable."

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

GOV. WALZ: “Now that Minnesota has been taken out of the investigation, it feels very difficult that we will get a fair outcome. And I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment. They have stood and told you things that are verifiably false.”

This is Tiko, a.k.a. Tikocat
He was our best buddy.
Tiko was 16 years old. He lived with us for the last 14 years or so. At first, he was one of 5 cats (We volunteered at the local Humane Society for 3 months and kept bringing home cats...) but for the last 7 years or so, he was our only cat.
