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."

It's amazingly galling how they just blatantly lie WHEN THEY KNOW THERE'S VIDEO.

I don't recall ever giving an ID to give blood. Although maybe some places you do?

Pretty sure we'll get to the worst case scenario. Trump will get bored and/or tired of the bad press. Will declare victory and simply cease military operations. Power vacuum ensues and Iran and the region devolves into sectarian violence. Iraq 2.0. Israel continues war on most of region.

They have unambiguously declared themselves part of the problem. They should be part of the solution, which they would be if they truly believed in the humanist positions they supposedly espouse.

I understand the impulse to "burn it all down" but people are in the house.

My problem with Bluesky super-leftists:

They don't have to let completely justified opposition to Israel turn into casual antisemitism but they do.

They don't have to promote a walking red flag like Platner but they do.

They don't have to pledge allegiance to ratfucking but they do.

At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide.
The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome. The talk was particularly jarring, he said, because he had contemplated suicide himself.

Indifference to suffering is a hallmark of genocide.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

β€œNever again” is meaningless if it doesn’t include this. There’s no reason to mince words other than cowardice: these are concentration camps and never again is now.

Costco CEO says any tariff refunds it gets will flow back to members through 'lower prices and better values' Costco challenges the US government over IEEPA tariffs, with CEO Ron Vachris pledging to pass refund benefits to members.

Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.

That might sell if the American public thought the war was necessary or justified. But they don't. And even then you're talking about a populace that voted for a bunch of shit they never wanted because they thought it would save them a nickel on gas. I don't think this is going to go over well.

Trump telegraphed during the presidential campaign that he would support war crimes. It got little media attention and complete indifference from voters.

WaPo: "Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating β€” even indirectly β€” in the war."
