Is a constitutional amendment just a mod?

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

“Stocks soar as company slashes workforce,” has gone from an annual headline, then gradually to a quarterly one…and now it’s a weekly — and sometime even daily — cadence of layoffs but “a strong economy”.

If anyone ever needed a clear example of why so many people are struggling financially despite ✌️The Economy✌️ doing well, look no further.

A distant selfie of me standing in nearly waist deep water of the middle of the Rio Grande River, with massive canyon walls on either side and clear blue sky overhead. This is Santa Elana Canyon, where the proposed border wall would begin. That would be a travesty. Besides, these canyon walls are their own, natural border wall.

I've been to all 254 TX counties, and Big Bend is the very best of Texas. The stunning, expansive desert landscape still feels untouched. It deserves to stay that way. It breaks my heart thinking about it being needlessly ruined for a f***ing wall. Here's some photos I've taken there. 🧵4/4

in 1983, 90% of U.S. media was spread across 50 companies. in 2012, it's these six Comcast, Newscorp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, CBS

genuinely delighted to see the games press taking on areas like prediction markets + gambling + gamification, which are tumorous outgrowths of game design & should be subject to rigorous, knowledgeable critique and *derision* within the games community

We Can’t Address Affordability Without Tackling Corporate Power Concentrated economic influence is making us increasingly powerless—and angry.

To create a durable affordability agenda, Democrats must embrace widespread anger at corporate power.

Abolish ICE. Abolish CBP. Abolish DHS.

According to a study by The Lancet, the US has been responsible for 38 million deaths since 1970 due to its illegal sanctions.

According to Brown University, the US has been responsible for 4.5 million direct & indirect deaths from post 9/11 wars.

Now, 10 million more could die from USAID cuts.

There is no reforming this.

Abolish ICE.
Abolish CBP.
Dismantle DHS.

If you were on the fence about reading Careless People (aka the expose on Facebook) by Sarah Wynn-Williams don’t be. This book is so much more explosive than what you’ve seen. The intersection of right wing extremism and Facebook is addressed directly. What a bunch of douchebags.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

You should give My Friend Derek’s or Moto Pizza a shot! Dino’s also has an excellent square Sicilian pizza (not quite as thick and fluffy, but still tasty)

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

ICE agents shatter window, leave 1-month-old baby, mother in car after Portland arrest Video shows federal immigration agents leaving behind an infant and broken glass after detaining a Guinean immigrant with no known criminal history.

"“There was a car seat in the back with one of those baby blankets you get at the hospital. There were broken glass shards all over it,” he said. “I carefully pulled back the blanket and there was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.
