Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

It’s tough competition but I do think Miller is more evil than Trump. Trumpnis ideologically agnostic: He will be just as happy making money with people not suffering as suffering. For Miller, the suffering is the endgame.

He's literally trying to leave us open as possible to a terrorist attack so that he can declare a national emergency and seize control of voting systems across the country for 2026. Maybe even try to postpone the 2028 election

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

The White House is blocking the FBI and top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about new terror threats to the homeland tied to the war with Iran.

My story:

This.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Wow. The corruption and self-dealing is boundless — in the billions.

The way I see people talk to you here I can’t imagine what real in person life must be like for you.

I wonder how these guys are doing today.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

My kids have measles, there are no jobs, and the country is at war. But at least now I can buy raw milk with my HSA card.

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologist… pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Kristi Noem Didn’t Give a Sh*t About ‘the Details’ Such as a woman who was here legally and helped the homeless—but was then deported anyway.

NEW: Here's the story of a woman deported by Kristi Noem. Legally in the United States (as a DACA recipient), she is the mother of a U.S. citizen and was working to help the homeless—but when she went for an appointment to get a green card, she was deported.

'Dreaming of Gilead?' WaPo Hit for Op-Ed Mourning Lack of Evangelicals in 'Halls of Power' Washington Post readers are pushing back against the paper and an op-ed that laments what its author sees as a shortage of evangelical Christians in the “halls of power.” “Evangelicals are 23 percent ...

Oh. Hell. No.

I'm so sick of these people trying to make the country conform to their apocalyptic-fantasy-driven Christian theocracy. And non-Talibangelical Christians should care more than I do as an atheist. 1/

'Check Her Body Count' website explained "Check Her Body Count" spits out fake numbers, but the misogynistic intent behind it is painfully real.

We have a MEN problem. And a parents who raise boys problem.

This passage of Cosmos came to mind while I was watching Pete Hegseth strut across the stage at the Pentagon yesterday.

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.
