Retired, but busier than ever. Blue dot in a county that couldn’t get any more red. Does not suffer fools gladly. I draw my energy from snark and general tomfoolery. I love to travel and take pictures. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

Live Nation paid ZERO federal income tax last year largely due to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting $145M in profits.

It's also on the verge of scoring a sweetheart deal from Trump's DOJ to end a major antitrust investigation.

Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.

Not you.
