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?

Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose. The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right.

Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on.

The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.

They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.

And they're regressive β€” taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

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.

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Healthcare for Americans: β€œtoo expensive.”

Hospital ships overseas: full steam ahead. And U.S. taxpayers foot the bill.

Now do rural hospitals here at home.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his 'Adopt Me' backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he's featured has found a forever home.
