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.

Happy No Kings Day!

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Republicans think that the average American is stupid!

I just visited Liam and his father. I also met with countless more children and families who have done nothing wrong and should not be detained. My full update on visiting the Dilley detention center: youtu.be/j9FcMwyWN2I?...

It’s about fucking time!

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

A New York Times video analysis of an ICE agent’s fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis contradicts the Trump administration’s account. Watch our investigation here.

This is a stunning and disturbing video from Minnesota that seems to show an ICE agent firing into a car. There are reports a person inside the car was killed. It warrants a full criminal investigation.

"I will not be quiet. Not speaking out — it equals resignation." Tennis legend Martina Navratilova on the importance of standing up to Trump and his enablers:

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years." When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.

We are hours away from a shutdown that most Americans do not want. It’s unacceptable. I will do everything I can to minimize the harm to San Antonians. My offices in DC and San Antonio will remain operating and available for you and your family. Please call 210-348-8216 if my office can be helpful.

Brian Kilmeade is a Nazi. His suggestion to “just kill” homeless people with “involuntary lethal injection” is reminiscent of the Nazi T4 program that labeled human beings as disposable. This dehumanizing rhetoric is reckless and the same poisonous logic that once justified mass murder.

Hey Lululemon. Make her a brand ambassador! Power to the people to stand up for what is right and decent.

Who are these "reporters" that are setting Trump up to spew his lies at the press conference. Are we now living in the upside down?

They want to silence everyone. If they came for a sitting member of Congress, who will they come for next? I stand with @replamonica.bsky.social—and for the Constitution. It is our sacred obligation as Americans to protect each other from tyranny.

You can sum up Trump’s first 100 days with four words: America, you in danger!

Speaking truth to power -always. Thank you Bill Owens and 60 minutes.

Historian Aaron E. Sánchez detailed the different ways ethnic Mexicans viewed, embraced, or rejected their new identities as American citizens.

Veterans are suffering because of Trump, Musk and every damn Republican who are enabling them.

In a government full of cowards afraid to stand up and fight for our democracy a la Chuck Schumer, be a strong and fearless leader like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!

Coward!

Great advice for federal employees!

POLITICO: “.. The blueprint — laid out in a 26-page document .. carries an estimated price tag of $25 billion and recommends a range of aggressive tactics to rapidly deport 12 million people before the 2026 midterms ..” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

#emails2DOGE 1. Didn’t fire veterans or slash VA services— that’s someone else’s villain origin story. 2. Didn’t insult our allies. 3. Never declared myself Queen—that title’s reserved for Justice Sotomayor! 4. Didn’t do a Nazi salute. 5. Named AOC opposition leader to Musk & Trump’s coup.

Hell hath no fury like 69 million women whose voting rights are at risk!

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

True words.

Ooops, sorry, didn’t mean to drop this. 😏

Listen to the doctors, scientists and scholars.

A very wise Latina.

I cannot wait for The Invisible Parade to be released! The illustrations (art, let’s call it what it is) are beautiful, magical and fucking brilliant! Pre-order today!

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Republicans are trying to destroy the agency that keeps San Antonians safe on the job. They want to make it easier for big corporations and unscrupulous bosses to commit wage theft and abuse workers. What they’re doing is illegal and dangerous.

This is so good.

V.P. Harris was not the problem. Carville, old white guys like you who are trying to hold on to whatever power you think you have are the problem. The fact that Biden ran for the second term is the problem. The audacity of white old men to sacrifice our democracy for their ego!

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Trump will be outsmarted by Mexico's President Scheinbaum and Canada's PM Trudeau. The American people will end up paying for Trump's stupidity!

Sadden to see the San Antonio police chief today announce that the department will cooperate with feds on immigration. SA is 65 % Latino. We have literally built this city.

Who will stand up and speak for our most vulnerable? May we all have the courage and follow the example of Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde.

There are reports that Trump's immigration raids may target San Antonio. We know from history that mass deportation raids can lead to the arrest, detention, and deportation of even American citizens. First, know your legal rights (in English and Spanish below). 1/
