The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Anti-ICE protester blinded by federal agent during demonstration in Santa Ana, family says A young protester narrowly avoided being killed but was left permanently blind after a Department of Homeland Security agent fired a nonlethal round at close range during a Santa Ana protest last week...

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

“It’s like half of y’all ain’t never seen Star Wars or a Disney movie. How do you not know which side to root on?”

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back.

The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye!

Please share this story widely!

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

Keith Ellison: "These poorly trained, aggressive, and armed agents of the federal state have terrorized Minnesota with widespread unlawful conduct. They're making unconstitutional arrests and using excessive force ... this has to stop."

How embarrassing is it for America that European leaders have assigned themselves to Zelenskyy's meeting with the abuser in chief [aka Bozo-the-POTUS] to ensure he will not be bushwhacked by Putin's puppet in front of the world's media?

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

Reminder to ICE: Do not lay hands on American citizens. Video, photos, and personal information have been recorded. Actions have consequences. If you have information to share, email report@ourparks.org. Your safety is our top priority, never forget that.

Zelensky after Russia’s overnight attack:

"Almost 300 Shahed drones and 70 missiles hit Ukrainian cities—Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Odesa, Khmelnytskyi, and more. Homes, dorms, businesses destroyed. Children killed.

Every strike is reason for tougher sanctions. Silence only encourages Putin."

He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing.

Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey.

And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.

I agree… Nothing about this is funny anymore not a single comedic take not a meme not a lip-synch video. Nothing… this is all deadly dastardly serious. As a heart attack.

This is so very sad 😢

Growing a Spine on El Salvador Is Good Politics Grant Democrats the courage to change the things they can change and the PR advisers to help them talk about the rest.

Maybe you knew this fact, but I did not until we worked on this newsletter today: In the two years that El Salvador's CECOT prison has been in operation, no prisoner has ever left it—until Kilmar Abrego Garcia. (He's still in prison in El Salvador, but not CECOT.)

NEW reporting from the NYT: “A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.”

In a deeply disturbing social media post, President Bukele then…
