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."

Express righteous anger with your students. They deserve to see us vulnerable, angry, and all the emotions. It opens space for them to also feel the same and from that potentially to move in passion, spontaneity, and collectivity.

We no longer have Republicans and Democrats.

We have an Authoritarian party and a Status quo party.

Diplomat lays out US plans for Haiti, says stability key to curbing collapse and migration U.S. ChargΓ© d’Affaires Henry Wooster tells Senate panel Haiti’s stability is vital to prevent collapse and migration.

The plan to invade Haiti with US led UN forces to β€œneutralize” 13,000 mostly young β€œgang members” or β€œinsurgents” in April will be another disaster if we do not interrupt this. Meanwhile they hope to deport 400,000 people there also. #handsoffHaiti haitiantimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The bloated orange’s racist video of the Obamas is fucked up. It is also a ruse and distraction as the fascists flail us all toward destruction with their klan domestic and foreign policy. Stay woke.

The Epstein files are drawing out how the global western elite made connections through trading children for sex. Off with their heads. All of them. If they were involved, if they knew and didn’t do anything, take them to the guillotine.

The coming hours and days in Minneapolis are crucial. ICE killed a man and is violently repressing protestors. We will begin to interrupt the fascists decisively in the coming days or we will wake up to full arsenal unchecked state backed autocratic capitalism.

The Kushner revealed β€œmaster plan” for Gaza is incendiary, racist, genocidal, and terroristic.

To become a people of peace we must uproot them and the economic and social conditions that set this terrain. We must organize on revolutionary terms for the dignity of all the earth.

The U.S. is in the open engaging in war on the planet. The fascists have concentration camps and a secret police force. They are beating their chests in bellicosity and belligerence on every front and supporting active genocides. They are doubling down on ecocide.

June Jordan had bars. But today I’m feeling this lil snippet because it feels like where we at in the fascist blitz: β€œA mack truck mother fuck.” Naw it’s not her most pointed sophisticated political lines but it get right at where I’m feeling we at. 😭😭

I’m afraid The IDF raid at Birzeit University in the West Bank is the harbinger of our Spring on US campuses.
