Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

That was my first reaction to this. Which laughable social programs are attracting people, exactly?
bezos bought a prestigious national investigative newspaper so he could gut it and run "consider setting a monthly budget" and "pay off your credit cards" tier financial advice columns like those blogs with adsense spots on all 4 corners of the screen
Well, at least he’s leaving a trail for law enforcement, if one of his obsessive disciples does what I’m sure he’s trying to threaten me with in this post.
I recommend these guys stop spiralling and threatening me for reporting on things you say and do.
It makes them look desperate.
Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo
I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.
I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!
The Disability Action Hall is/was a vital part of the Calgary community. They did so much and accomplished so much. They brought their voices to City Hall to make the city a better place for everyone. They will be deeply missed. #yyccc #yyc

I've been away for a couple months and am shocked to see that Calgary raised bus fare to $4 a ride, which is actually a deciding factor on whether or not I will take the bus today. I likely won't.
I'd wager this is one way to choke the system even more than it already is, and decrease ridership.

Screenshot of BBC News home page, featured live story has headline that reads, "LIVE Police name suspect in Canada school shooting as 18-year old Jesse van Rootselaar." The sub-headline at the time of screenshot reads, "Police say the suspect was 'born as a biological male, who... approximately six years ago began to transition to female, and identified as female'".
BBC News unfortunately not following best practices. On the home page their sub-headline reads as shown below (alt text provided). Best practices say to avoid this sort of language and there's sound reasoning as to why: styleguide.transjournalists.org#section-phra...
The picture that's emerging is one of absolute tragedy for the young victims, a teacher, the shooter and her family.
There are unresolved questions here about why/how the guns were returned and what mental health supports were available for a deeply troubled teen.
Oh this is bad
Hey Canadian media ... "born as a biological male" is not the move when you're reporting on what happened in Tumbler Ridge.
Here's is the @transjournalists.org Style Guide if you are covering this story today

For those spreading hatred over the alleged identity of the suspect, people here think that’s despicable
I moved to Tumbler Ridge ten days ago for a job. All I can say is this is truly awful awful for this small town. My heart goes out to my new neighbours in their grief.
Rotisserie chickens are usually cheaper than buying a whole chicken and cooking it yourself WSJ.
And if they try to tell you otherwise, ask them for the price of milk. They won't know, because they don't grocery shop, meaning they're embarrassingly out of touch with every day people, and they should zip it.
This is talking about buying rotisserie at a specific store in NYC but it should be noted that in *this economy*, at least in my corner of Canada, buying a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store is cheaper than buying raw, and these days even raw whole. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I deleted my earlier comment, questioning whether or not this is verified connected to Trent. It has been verified legit. Here’s the link to the Facebook post where Trent live streamed from giving donation instructions.

Local journalism matters
Trent Ernst — reporter, editor and publisher of Tumbler RidgeLines — spoke with CBC Radio's Early Edition in British Columbia this morning.

Within hours, we already had an elected official—B.C. MLA Tara Armstrong—blaming the Tumbler Ridge school shooting on gender-affirming care.
Trent also posted this link to a GoFundMe for one of the victims. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
As the only (I think?) local reporter in Tumbler Ridge, Trent Ernst has been heroically covering the tragedy unfolding in his town. Most of his reporting is happening on Facebook, which you can find here, along with links to his Patreon. www.facebook.com/tumblerridge...
