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"...

I really hope someone is looking into the recent death of the passenger who witnessed them murder his friend

I realized what bugs me about Trump's appointees this term (beyond their outright naziism obviously).

It's their small-time venality and vanity. They're like the 26 year-old tech sales guy who made $400k last year and got promoted to "Regional VP" and started wearing bespoke suits to meetings.

They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so

Same thing happened to my drafting/cad instructor in my apprenticeship (and also his contractor for years), except he had the unique delight of being exploded with it.

REQUEST: Someone please post the clip of Anderson Cooper talking about Bryan Betancur on @cnn.com tonight. I would like to quote it and scream about the burglary charge being from Bryan breaking into an elementary school after threatening to shoot up a school.

So you have left-aligned sites that are effectively blocked for many people and right aligned sites that have easy access. To get on a site with legal content you have to agree to be surveilled and while Virtual Epstein Islands operate with impunity.

Meanwhile, you blink and Bluesky institutes age-verification, even when the law is drafted so poorly they don't really have to.

Why? I'd guess that it's because they can't afford to be in a Republican AG's crosshairs. Even if it's bogus, you still have to fight it. And fighting the state is $$$.

And in the handful of states where there are no exemptions for X or 4chan, those platforms are just openly flouting the law β€” no verification of any kind

And not one Republican AG is going after them.

Re: "Vaguely"" Stephen Miller is a monster and sits at the very top of my "people I hope die horribly in a fire" list. But I'm talking about his voice specifically, divorced from actual content

One of the reasons Stephen Miller's voice sounds so petulent and annoying is that he upspeaks--he ends sentences at a higher tone than he started. The combination of feminine-coded upspeaking with constant attempts to signal hypermasculinity just make him sound pathetic and vaguely unhinged

Right-wing politicians spent the past three years using age-verification to block access to legal adult sites that a) ban deepfakes b) require consent and c) verify performer age.

All while pushing AV exemptions for right-aligned platforms like 4chan and X.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” 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.

This month we have "Additional Persecution Likely" a translation by Oksana Mironova & Ben Nadler of sections of Delo Truda, a Russian & Ukrainian anarchist paper printed in exile after the Russian Revolution. Word of the month is about a town in Ukraine. Read for free at TangledWilderness.org

There is no amount of hard work that entitles any human being to $1 billion. There is no amount of laziness that makes a person unworthy of medical care when they get sick or injured.

All people deserve to have their basic needs met. Nobody should live like a king while millions struggle to survive

I wonder, sometimes: will MAGA ever be like "I've never played sports with a trans person but I can't afford groceries and that seems more important" or will they simply starve to death with "what is a woman?" as their last words

Over 1000 people are dead in the Iran war Trump started for no reason. Crude oil futures spiked: the largest weekly increase on record. 92,000 jobs lost last month. Inflation creeping upwards

Trump has spent the last 1.5 hrs at a "Saving College Sports" roundtable and yes, it is still going

NEW: One of the most active hubs for sexually explicit AI "deepfakes" is hiding in plain sight. My latest takes a hard look at a 4chan board that's acting as a factory floor for online sexual abuse β€” where its users have victimized untold numbers of women and girls.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

I agree with a lot of this, worth reading:

Been really wild to watch Rolling Stone make a very obvious shift in editorial direction over the past few months. (And laying off most of the talented people who had been working there.)
