I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague Congresswoman Hanabusa.
She was a fierce advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and a great friend to Gwen and me.

Protesters are marching on Michigan Avenue now.
Chanting, "money for jobs and education! Not for war and occupation!"
Phrasing it as a joke for "plausible" deniability, but definitely advertising for anyone who wants his endorsement.
This cabrΓ³n thinks he can gaslight us into thinking there is no war
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
Unconscionable.
Congress needs to aggressively reassert its authority. Stop this illegal war from becoming even more deadly. Now we know it was likely a U.S. bomb that caused mass casualties at the girls' school in Iran.
No more of our taxpayer dollars funding this savagery.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...donβt trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesnβt bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesnβt create jobs
Folks, weβve seen this all before.
They are ripping out the countryβs wiring to sell the copper
Thatβs all this is. They see the writing on the wall that the USA is becoming ungovernable and they are trying to bleed if dry before moving on to some new βchosen nationβ to keep the party going
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Bristol Patriots having a shit day out today. All 40 of them, totally boxed in by hundreds of antifascists.
Police turned them around and marched them back the way they came.
Despite using batons and horses against antifascists, people held their ground and the fascists did not pass.
Because "pandering" is reaching down, and that's how they see it.
Not good.

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.
Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

They're stealing the voice of Sinead O'Connor, who risked her own career in 1992 by speaking up about child sexual abuse in the Catholic church, so let's make this theft an occasion to keep talking about Trump in the Epstein files.

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."
And just like that weβre back to βDepartment of Defenseβ
