We'll continue to recruit, train, and elect union members because they’re ready to fight for workers on day one!

Raise wages.
Lower health care costs.
Fully fund public schools.

Now, our work is fully-focused on winning runoffs for union-first candidates like Montserrat Garibay for #HD49!

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."

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

Gas price hikes & shortages β€œfuel” controversy, especially when they’re β€œdriven” by an illegal war. But let’s not forget one of the most important discussions that should flow from such hikes β€” how they spotlight the difference between places with mobility choices, and places that are car-dependent.

Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards

So, they've already "apologized and surrendered," but the US is still going to "hit [them] very hard" today? And specifically, we're going to hit "areas and groups of people" not previously considered threats?

His last words to the ICE agents: "I'm sorry, sir."

Clearly someone who posed a threat and was trying to run them over.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.
