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."
Don’t believe the bullshit lies going around that Platner’s wife is Jewish. That shit is a literal propaganda op designed to get you to forgive him.
Also people can be fucking hateful bigots married to marginalized people like have you not heard of our Vice Fucking President?
If you block junior scientists from ensuring that they can afford to live (or start families!) in the exorbitantly expensive areas around their workplaces, only family-subsidized solitary rich kids will be able to pursue careers in research - amidst exponential inflation, increasingly few people.
If you don't want to give CBS News the clicks, here's the ABC News coverage of Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service (Homegoing in the Black church tradition).

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
This isn't good.
AHRQ Funding Opportunities for Primary Care, Demonstration and Dissemination, and Health Services Research cancelled.
A reminder that #AHRQ, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is the only part of HHS strictly dedicated to studying and improving health care delivery.
Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."

Ok if you want to make this fucking dot go away you have to enter this menu and then physically click Go Live even if you don’t currently intend to and never fucking intend to Go Live
also pretty sure that Platner is taking plenty of out-of-state money for this race that his supporters want non-Mainers to stay out of.
Hey, weirdly argumentative liberals demanding the left stop bringing the tattoo up: the right will not hesitate to do this level of opposition research, and even the ones who are Nazis themselves will decry him, because he’s proof the libs are the “real Nazis.” Do not do their fucking work for them.

I am once again tapping the "support independent, worker-owned, billionaire free news" sign. the most powerful people in the world should not be deciding whether or not we know about this sort of thing. putting Marisa's subscription link below

With Tony Gonzales dropping out of the TX-23 primary, the path is wide open for Brandon Herrera to take the GOP nomination.
Herrera is a YouTuber and firearms manufacturer who has an unhealthy fascination with Hitler and Nazis and a total disregard for those who suffered during the Holocaust.

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...
New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Up to $2 billion per day. Enough to give $200 to EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN CHILD LIVING IN POVERTY instead. Every single day.
It just seems insane that any Dem would describe Mullin as "respected." It promotes a normalcy bias for MAGA that is never reciprocated. No Republican would ever describe Sanders/Warren or even Ossoff/Warnock in such glowing terms, esp. if they were about to fill an antagonistic position.
This is such a good point, and it just also illustrates the racist double standards where Mamdani continues to be vilified no matter how much he works on outreach, while for Plattner, there are endless supplies of grace.
Today, Virginia is the only U.S. state where someone convicted of any felony loses their right to vote for life, unless it is personally restored by the governor.
Lawmakers this year advanced a constitutional amendment to repeal that rule.
And I want to be super duper explicit about this, the moment Maine Democrats nominate Graham Platner, a guy with a Totenkopf tattoo, for U.S. Senate, there will no longer be any moral high ground for any Democrat to criticize any Republican who openly displays Nazi symbols and use Nazi rhetoric
INBOX: @couriernewsroom.bsky.social is circulating a video of #TX23 Republican nominee Brandon Herrera showing off his "1939 edition" copy of Mein Kampf.
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
