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."

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

Three Massive Funds Control a Chunk of Most Media:Β Maybe that's why you might not have heard of them Putting the interests of capital writ large above all else is the Big Three’s job.

The Big 3 US asset management companies direct almost 7% of all of the wealth in the entire world: stocks, bonds, cash, everything, everywhere. They hold almost 1/4th of the New York Times’ shares, the same in CNN’s parent company, & nearly 30% of Murdoch's News Corp.

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death.

We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

They could still be capitalist swine they are, profiting from insider trading and in cahoots with corporate enslavers. All they have to do is just pretend to be against war temporarily to win "more power".

But they won't, and that should tell people something.

β€˜We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

Senate Democrats are open to giving Trump more money for Iran war.

"I don’t rule anything out,” said Senator Elissa Slotkin. β€œI mean, we’re in it.”

Congressman Faces Questions About Wife’s Social Media Stances on Israel

Dan Goldman's wife, who is also his campaign treasurer, reposted at least half a dozen racist tweets on Twitter which denigrated Palestinians and Jews who sympathize with them. In one post, EndWokeness said "Jews for Palestine" are like "Chickens for KFC".

Goldman says he doesn't share those views.

Another example: no, it's not "now more likely that Iran's Supreme Leader position will be abolished than any given person taking the role." It's simply what the most gamblers on the platform are guessing will happen.
