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.

RIP Robert Duvall (1931—2026)

I understand why a lot of people/trades are saying Fire and Ash underperformed. I do. Counterpoint: it’s still the 18th highest grossing film OF ALL TIME. Might take Barbie for 17th. As theater-going continues to decline, I’d say that’s a hell of a run for an “underperforming” sequel.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

For all the dads 🙏

This weekend at the movies gives me hope 🙏
