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.

Dayum. Just heard a minister say, as perhaps only Black ministers can, “We will fight until hell freezes over, and then we will fight on the ice.” I’m stealing that!!

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

I don't usually review apps, but if you install an AI feature I can't deactivate, you're getting a 1-star review.

Martinez’s death would mark the 1st shooting victim under DHS in 2025, and overall 5th under the Trump Administration alongside Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti.

Trump is a $1 million Cameo

Mind-boggling that the same day South Korea's former leader is sentenced to life in prison for leading an insurrection —and the same day British police arrest a prominent royal over allegations of sick Epstein predation —our own insurrectionist-leading predator is thus mocking the rule of law:

Is the rest of the Epstein files in there?

the andrew mountbatten stuff shows that being a tenured antiwoke professor at harvard gives you more legal privileges and protection from the law than your family being divinely anointed to rule a country as absolute monarchs for 1,000 years

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

Historical figures as everyday people...

“If we require them to follow the law, they wouldn't have anything to do.”

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

This #PresidentsDay, be sure to order from your favorite immigrant-owned restaurant.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of Americans of all ages and races, but younger voters and voters of color would suffer disproportionately. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Repeat after me: An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law. Also: Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

@pftompkins.bsky.social You are great.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Since states run federal elections, and if Trump continues to threaten to illegally federalize those elections or send in ICE agents to polling stations to intimidate voters, the Dems should refuse to pass the annual budget and shut down the ENTIRE federal government for, say, six weeks.

This is just unconscionable man

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Breaking WSJ: The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Everyone who did business with Epstein after his conviction in 2008 knew who he was. Everyone doing business with Musk right now knows who he is. Monstrous filth, morally repugnant.

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.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

“We left with all my children” ????

what conservatives angry about Bad Bunny look like

You all are acting like racism is some third rail of politics. It never has been.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

When your resignation letter has “No Subject,” it's probably because it wasn't planned. (one way or the other.)

Sorry, but now I have to read it, Doc.

it's always a little funny when a massive world-historic tragedy winds up being a huge win for exactly one intended victim

ICE isn’t out of Minnesota. Enforcement hasn’t stopped; in many places it’s intensified. What changed wasn’t the raids, it was the coverage. As pressure grew, cameras shifted and Democrats redirected the conversation. But ICE activity in Minnesota is still very real & ongoing. #FuckICE #AbolishICE

Donald Trump is: - Openly racist - Covering up evidence he may have sexually abused children - Directly responsible for the murder of US citizens by masked agents of the state - Openly looting the treasury and taking bribes from foreign leaders - Polling at 38% amongst the American people

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
