An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!

Prince Andrew arrested over Epstein ties on the same day South Korea’s ex-president was jailed for life for attempting a coup. Lord, I have seen what you’ve done for others 🙏🙏 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

From an article last week: "My wife and I absolutely forbid our children from reading those horrible Judy Blume books," he said. "And because we didn’t clean up our society back then, then we have to deal with absolutely horrific things today." Yeah, THAT'S it. www.kjzz.org/politics/202...

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Oh, this is really, really bad. Suicide rates absolutely will go up. You cannot take a person with serious mental health problems and yank their meds away without serious repercussions. You just can't. This is beyond cruel.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

I received a report today from a community member who spotted approximately 24 new unmarked SUVs. outside the ICE facility in Tukwila, WA, just south of Seattle. It’s hard to say for certain what this means, but it could indicate a greater deployment of personnel in the region in the near future.

I'm always saying this

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

My elementary, middle and high schools were all hit, and I don't really know the results of those attacks because there's not really anyone around but my parents to report it. My parents whose car windows were smashed along with the whole neighborhood. We need reporters out there.

PSA to my fellow Zoom users -- it's automatically turned on a bunch of A.I. features without asking you✌️ to turn all 32 of them off, go to "Settings" --> "My Account" --> "View advanced features" it'll open up your browser and list a SHITTON of A.I. features, many of which will be on (scroll!)

Tomorrow you may see James David Vance or some other purported Catholic from this administration with ashes on their forehead, it’s important to remember that it’s all just for show.

Trump's nominee to lead the National Park Service, Scott Socha, helped run a company that claimed trademark ownership over historic place names at Yosemite—many rooted in Indigenous history—then sued the NPS over name use, costing taxpayers millions. Now he wants to run the agency? Disgraceful.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

The SAVE Act is bad. While lots of people are talking about the ID portion, It creates a criminal cause of action to put election workers in prison for (even accidentally) registering someone to vote without ID. campaignlegal.org/update/what-...

In Minnesota, we are all too familiar with false spring. You think maybe winter’s finally over...until the cold snaps back, sometimes even harder. That’s what this moment feels like. You may hear that ICE is “leaving", but they’re shifting, spreading out. Don’t mistake a brief thaw for safety.

If you can remember a world before “The Santa Clause 2,” you can remember the world before DHS. If you can’t, well, imagine you can imagine it. www.startribune.com/minnesota-im...

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

And this is what he said after he killed her, “She is dead,” Officer Auderer told Officer Solan, before bursting out laughing. “No, it’s a regular person,” Officer Auderer said, adding: “Yeah, just write a check — $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.”

They. Can. Not. Honestly articulate their beliefs or values. This is a powerful line of questioning, cause it dares them to admit how dumb their entire credo is, and they won’t do it.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

“Pro-Trump town stunned to learn they’re not exempt from ICE raids.” "Chris Gross, a second-generation mint farmer in Wilder, told the Times that the town relies on Hispanic labor. 'Nobody thought something like this could happen here,’ he said." newrepublic.com/post/206401/...

Reminding everyone that colon cancer screening should begin at age 45 UNLESS a first degree relative (parent or sibling) was diagnosed with colon cancer before the age of 55. Then screening begins 10 YEARS before that person was diagnosed

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

BP agent Charles Exum bragged about his shooting skills and putting seven bullet holes in Marimar Martinez. Bovino emailed him the day of the shooting calling his service in Chicago “excellent.”

Resistance to the building of concentration camps is of the utmost importance. Salute to every person doing their part to say not in my community.
