Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...

The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

when all you have to do is say sorry and return a policy and apologize, but youd rather spend billions and still not get your customers back.

I quit them hard but that statement would get me interested in returning, what say you Target Corp.?

or they could say...

"We fucked up getting rid of DEI. Target was special because it was an inclusive environment for everyone, which created a harmonious vibe, but we got scared in November 2024 and acted stupidly. We are reinstating our policies and want to earn your business back."

And as someone who closely monitors both websites I can assure you that X is a right wing radicalization pipeline, including for people who consider themselves smart and progressive, while Bluesky is just an overwhelming left leaning platform. Those are very different things.

The Minneapolis council member on the front lines of the resistance to ICE • Minnesota Reformer When heavily-armed federal agents and Minneapolis police officers surrounded a Lake Street taco shop in June, Minneapolis City Council Member Jason Chavez was incensed.  “This is completely wrong,” Ch...

I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.

“To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Sterling deployment of ‘fakakta’

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

As an Ioweejun, he was not our finest moment. I remember the confederate flag he had on his desk, and thinking about my 6th grade history lessons and thinking "wrong flag, dude"

Steve King stripped of committee posts after 'white nationalist' comments Republicans condemn Iowa congressman after he questioned how terms like white supremacist had ‘become offensive’

I misremembered the timing. King was upbraided by the head of the RNC in 2018 for his repeated white nationalist comments, but it wasn't until he said he didn't understand why "white nationalism" was such a bad term in 2019 that he was booted from committees. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

Bondi Says She's The Bar Now We don't need no stinkin' ethics.

@lizdye.bsky.social wrote about the Trump DOJ’s ethics-rule gambit, and it’s deservedly brutal.

“The problem” with DOJ’s arguments for why their proposed rule isn’t illegal, she patiently explains, “is that all of that is bullshit.”

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

Perhaps do not vote blue no matter who

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

These children died for Trump's greed and literally nothing else

Our shadow theocracy will burn down the world to protect Israel. This is a religious war being waged by a Christofascist cult.

This is not about geopolitical strategy. The ruling buffoon is incapable of strategic thinking and planning. This is a *religious* war.
