Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Raw milk and raw sewage. The breakfast of champions.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS!

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Bush at least felt obligated to lie to us in order to play war. Trump doesn’t think he owes anyone an explanation besides ‘I wanna’.

Turnbull @cturnbull1968 X.com The Johnny MAGA account, that pretends to be a black, pro MAGA account, that often posts racist propaganda, is actually run by Garrett Wade, a White House staffer.

U.S. cities step up security measures amid Iran tensions FBI director Kash Patel instructed federal counterterrorism and intelligence to "mobilize all assisting security assets needed."

The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.

Community members, public officials push back against ICE expansion into metro Detroit - WDET 101.9 FM The Southfield office and planned detention center in Romulus come as the Trump administration massively increases the budget for ICE.

“Cut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,” he said.

“This will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.”

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.
