Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

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."

The video of the bounty hunter in the fake plumbing van pointing a gun at the protestor nonviolently blocking his car seemed ripe for charges. (I’m assuming it was a bounty hunter.)

The American King Goes to War This is not what the Founders intended.

The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Federal agents were the primary public safety threat in Minneapolis during Jan/Feb. The chief made big promises about addressing it back in December. It's the reason MPD blasted through their yearly overtime budget in just a few weeks.

if people are using classified information to place bets, then theoretically others can analyze betting behavior to find signals that reveal classified information.

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Last Idiot Who Earnestly Believes in the American Experiment Still left out of the joke, even now.

β€œI can’t speak for the frame of mind that my neighbors in Saint Paul and Minneapolis are in when they choose to oppose ICE. However, I know the reason I decided to dedicate time and effort to keeping the government from securing the full weight of the homeland upon my community is that I am an idiot
