Newly released videos of the DHS murder of Ruben Ray Martinez show the agent who they claim he ran over arresting Orta and walking without any visible injury or limp.
Ruben Ray Martinez just turned 23 when Trump's Homeland Security thug, Jack Stevens, shot & killed him on March 15, 2025.
SpongeBob memes and video game edits hyping their illegal war in Iran, tells us just how seriously the White House takes decisions of war and peace.
This isn’t Call of Duty. It isn’t a game or a meme.
Real people are dying, including innocent children and American soldiers.
Day 430 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): So to get the needed stuff sack, I ended up at REI, land of temptation (esp. on the cusp of a trip) & I passed the test! Everything there either looked gadgety, overpriced, or a thing I have a functioning version of. I walked out w/ only a stuff sack!
Day 429 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I have needed to buy a few bits of new technical gear for my trip that I couldn't find second-hand, like a replacement compression stuff sack for my sleeping bag - I lack the time (& it's really not worth the effort) to make one
"The U.S. shed 92,000 jobs in February and previous months of job growth were not as strong as previously reported, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced Friday"

Capitol Hunters confirms Platner lied about why he could not get back into the Marines in 2009. It was because of his Nazi/antisemitic tattoo. He blamed Marine policy barring sleeve tattoos, but Marine policy grandfathered sleeve tattoos. It barred symbols of hate, which is what the Totenkopf is.
It’s up to all of us to document what's happening in our communities so we can demand accountability for ICE's abuses.
We have your questions about the right to record federal agents answered.
"As a cisgender, white, bisexual second son of a viscount, and as a gentleman landowner of multiple estates on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Celts and Saxons, I don’t see race."

Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.
92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?
Day 428 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I appreciate the rare products that really last, like my 7+ y/o thin black Columbia wool socks that remain hole-free despite weekly use (vs a Ballston pair 18 mo. old already w/ one). Perhaps it's lucky I can't find more; I might be very tempted to buy!
NBC: two firms handpicked by Noem, People Who Think and Safe America Media, were not only given a $220 million contact for her videos, but also a $100 million no bid contract to recruit 10k ICE officers, even though there were less expensive option.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies.
I defy anyone to justify this.
Day 427 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I just threw out two recently expired coupons from two different grocery stores, simply because I hadn't found a good reason in the last 2 weeks to spend $100 to save $10 or $15. That's how few groceries/household supplies we are buying these days
KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?
NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'
KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was
🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.”
FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office
Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.
Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.
so far i think in the last 48 hours trump has called

just noting that when he wants to sell a war, suddenly theyre not "fake news" anymore
The Dow is now WAY below 50,000. Release all the Epstein files, Pam.
A Minnesota prosecutor announced an investigation Monday that may lead to charges against federal officers, including Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, for misconduct during an immigration enforcement crackdown. https://to.pbs.org/4lfQrLK
Every time the president of the United States announced he has been exonerated by the Epstein files, he should be asked what crime has he been exonerated?
Make him say it. Make him say it out loud.
Liberals believe the darnedest things…
I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.
