Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

I’ve been wondering how we the people can create a movement for a tax strike. I have a real issue with providing this heinous sham of a government with any funding. Who can lead us? @gtconway.bsky.social are you the one? @mollyjongfast.bsky.social? @adamkinzinger.substack.com ?

On a black background with red ACLU-D.C. logo, white and red text reads, "Making D.C. the test case for federalizing local policingβ€”by deploying the National Guard and seizing control of our police forceβ€”is political theater and a blatantly phony justification for abuse of emergency powers." -Monica Hopkins, Executive Director, ACLU-D.C.

Today, the president foreshadowed that if these heavy-handed tactics take root in D.C., they will be rolled out to other majority-Black and Brown cities, like Chicago, Oakland and Baltimore, across the country.

That should alarm everyone, not just Washingtonians.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

What I think will be studied more than anything after the Trump administrations 2nd term (however long that is) is how while so many Jews were entirely distracted by Israel they ignored the week in which Trump called them Shylocks, did a Nazi salute, and opened up a concentration camp.

Everyone is focusing on Bove’s β€œf*** you” comment but not enough attention being given to the other bombshell in the WB, which is the premeditated violation of the Mass. district court injunction and subsequent cover up, the same injunction which SCOTUS stayed on Monday 1/

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.Β 
Β 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Β 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
