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.

I am heartbroken to learn of the sudden transition of my dear friend and former Kerry colleague, Setti Warren. There will be plenty of time to remember him as a proud Democrat, dedicated public servant, and convener, but for now I just want to remember the decent, kind, and good man that he was. Setti was a loving son, brother, dedicated husband, and father. He was always ready with a hug, an easy and deep laugh, and kind eyes that twinkled. He is someone you were always happy to see coming your way. He radiated light and optimism. Setti had so much life left to live, milestones to experience, hearts to touch, and lives to change. We communicated just last night. I am shocked. And I have called his phone and texted him repeatedly upon learning this devastating news as it was easier to be in denial. My heart goes out to the entire Warren family, including Tassy, Abigail and John. What a tremendous loss for our country, our Commonwealth, the community of Newton, Harvard, the Democratic Party, and all of humanity.

There's a lot of bad sh*t happening, but completely and indiscriminately abandoning starving kids around the world is right up there with the cruelest and most nonsensical things this Administration has done. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

In a setting built to denigrate and smear, @MayorWu defended the City of Boston, forcefully, and with grace. She even found the typically impossible space to punch back and make a positive case for what cities actually need right now. A masterclass in public leadership.

Boston doesn’t listen to kings.

If Republicans in Congress want to help make our country safe, I have some ideas for them.

Shame on Tom Homan for lying about the City of Boston.

To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家. This is our city. We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone. youtu.be/0i21cliuoXo

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu struck a defiant tone in her prepared remarks for a House hearing on immigration enforcement, defending the city’s approach and criticizing the Trump administration’s push to deport undocumented immigrants. Follow live updates: trib.al/Y86DqwG
