if you took my advice last year and bought used leather pants, wore those leather pants, and then resold them on eBay, you would have made more money than if you invested in bitcoin

I enjoyed this Vogue behind-the-scenes peek at Bad Bunny's Grammy outfit. I like the concept (especially the corset detailing), but think the execution could have been better. The coat does not appear to fit him as well as it could have. May have benefited from new pattern + multiple fittings. 🧵

Children and families are being held in ICE facilities with inhumane conditions. We should be closing them — not building more. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and I are opposed to any expansion of ICE’s presence in San Antonio. We’ll fight with every tool we have to prevent it.

Marimar Martinez talks about being shot by CBP: “My arms, legs, and chest were all wrapped in bandages. I had 7 bullet holes in my body. I remember the agents rushing the nurses to finish up so they could take me with them.”

With the Thunder's win over Denver, Mitch Johnson will represent the Western Conference as a head coach in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

America is the immigrant. America is the protestor. America is the huddled masses yearning to be free. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. In this moment of crisis, America needs patriots now more than ever.

Liam Conejo Ramos, 5, and his father were held in the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley. They were released Saturday by order of a federal judge.

It's a wrap! My co-author Stacy Wells, enjoyed a full house at the Texas launch of Stronger Than. Next I head to Philly where illustrator E. B. Lewis and I will sign copies at the African American Children’s Book Fair. Hope to see some of you. I’ll need your sunny smiles to warm me up! Brrrrrrr.

Again, among protesters from Minneapolis and those who have come to the city to protest are literally hundreds of clergy from a range of traditions. Clergy actually file special taxes, so I'm not even sure how a shadowy outside party paying them all would even work. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

Minneapolis, MN - Local bookstore Subtext Books organized a poetry reading, which included readings of the works of Renee Good.

Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We won’t stop until all children and families are home.

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing. Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

Reminder to Texans that tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to register to vote in the March elections

Judge Biery ordered ICE to release Liam. I’ve reached out to Liam’s mom and lawyers to let them know I will continue to do everything I can to make sure he is safe. Thank you to folks all across the country & around the world for speaking out in support of Liam & so many other children in detention.

I am absolutely sickened by the many rich, powerful & famous men whose names are being outed in these files as having gone to Epstein's island. Rep. Thomas Massie & I always said this would be a moral reckoning for our nation. Looks like that reckoning begins today.

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service. I want more people to make the connections.

Yesterday, hundreds of high school students in #SanAntonio walked out of classes as part of the #NationalShutdown to end #ICE terror. Many kids showed up at the 2pm protest, and danced to a local singer. This is #JoyfulResistance. #TheGeneralStrike #GeneralStrike #Strike #AbolishICE #DefundICE

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024 UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M. HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
