Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times. DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist. She went to court to get the body cam footage released. It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn. Saying “do something b*tch”. Ramming her car. Shooting her.
Omar Jimenez@OmarJimenez

The government claimed she rammed Border Patrol agents with her vehicle before an agent shot her five times. But new bodycam video shows the agent turned his steering wheel toward Marimar Martinez and that he was congratulated for "excellent service" after shooting her.

1. What if you dont live in the same town you were BORN in? Or the same county. I never have. 2. What if yours doesn’t cost $15. Mine didnt. What if you dont have $15. 3. What if you dont have $165 for a passport. 4. What if you dont have a VEHICLE or reliable transport for obtaining any of this. My town doesnt have buses or Uber. You NEED a car. 5. What if you live 30 miles from the DMV to get that ID? Many people in rural America do. 6. What if you live with an abusive man who doesnt allow this? 7. What if your NAMES DONT MATCH

@GeauxGabrielle I went to my town hall spent $15 and got my birth certificate then and there. Getting these documents aren’t hard to obtain. It’s scare tactics as both sides tend to do if they don’t agree with something. Once you’ve registered you only need an id to vote

Imagine being so bitter in your life that you’re furious about children getting toast. It’s not even about breakfast it’s so working parents can have childcare to go to their jobs, but let’s ignore that part shall we.
Jan Leeming@Jan_Leeming

Am staggered that Breakfast clubs exist. Believed it was parents’ responsibility to feed their children. All part of the Nanny State mentality. The State makes people dependent on them - that’s control.

What *about* that 5-year-old US citizen? Finish the sentence, Congressman. What does that hypothetical child have to do with Liam Ramos? Spell it out. Don’t just say “but what about our kids” and stop there. Explain your logic.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Rep. Tony Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

magically removed from the context of her marriage to Vance, left somewhere on a street in Minneapolis, Vance's wife could easily be the target of a warrantless ICE arrest. they wouldn't bother to check the ID she would try to show them, wouldn't listen to her protest that she is a US citizen & Yale graduate; they would just handcuff her & send her to Texas to be sorted out. eventually she might be released, suffering who knows what physical & psychological damage in the interim. but of course that won't/can't happen to her. but one might wish that she would feel sympathy & want to protect others who are not so fortunate as she is.
Bill Madden@maddenifico

You cannot make this shit up. While American citizens are being MURDERED in cold blood by the pedophile führer's Nazi ICE Gestapo like something out of 1930s Germany, and a massive pedophile cover-up involving accusations of Trump raping children — couch fucker JD Vance is galivanting around the winter Olympics in Milan with the same ICE Nazis who are MURDERING Americans.

Literally in the picture to the left is the Danish flag with a Christian cross on it. It is difficult to have any conversations with the other side when the other side is so dumb, ignorant, and detached from reality. We live in Idiocracy.
Eric@Eric130_7

@libsoftiktok @ocsd62 If it was a Christian flag liberals would have lost their minds.

Nah. You missed the joke. (Not surprising.) I called @kayleighmcenany a lying cunt. Because her mother never said that thing, because it didn't happen. And because @kayleighmcenany is a lying cunt.
Brendan McGrath@BFunkotron

@RalphGarman You called someone’s mother, a non-public figure a “cunt” because of an anecdote that came from someone you don’t like on a news channel that you don’t watch over something you don’t know about. And you say I’m the one in a cult. 😂

You say Republicans don’t like trans people but are fine with gays. That is not supported by their laws, their platforms, or their own words. Republican lawmakers do not draw a meaningful distinction when they legislate. The same legislators passing anti-trans bills are the ones voting against same-sex marriage protections, opposing federal nondiscrimination laws, and supporting religious exemption policies that allow businesses to refuse service to gay people. This is documented voting behavior, not interpretation. You say you care about LGB rights because they directly affect your life and legal protections. Legally, those protections are inseparable from trans protections. In Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court ruled that discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity are both forms of sex discrimination under Title VII. That ruling created a single legal framework. Conservative legal groups have openly stated that narrowing or overturning Bostock is a goal because it protects both gay and trans people. You cannot keep the half you like while discarding the half you do not. You say trans issues are a separate set of debates and policies. Republican lawmakers explicitly disagree with you. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated in 2022 that if the Supreme Court overturns Lawrence v. Texas, the case that legalized same-sex intimacy, he would be willing to defend Texas’s sodomy law again. That law criminalized gay sex. That is not a trans issue. That is a gay issue, and it is on the table by their own admission. You say you do not want harm to come to anyone. Harm is already coming, and it does not stop where you claim it does. Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law restricts discussion of both sexual orientation and gender identity. Tennessee’s drag ban criminalizes gender nonconformity in public spaces, something civil rights attorneys have repeatedly stated will be used against cisgender gay men and lesbians. These laws are written broadly on purpose. That is not an accident. You say every issue does not need to be collapsed into one movement. That argument has been used every single time queer rights have been rolled back. It was used during the AIDS crisis to abandon lesbians. It was used to oppose marriage equality while pretending to support civil unions. It was used to delay workplace protections for decades. Each time, the people who tried to draw neat boundaries were targeted next. This is not new. It is a pattern. You say LGB people are not obligated to stand next to trans people. No one is talking about obligation. We are talking about reality. Conservative lawmakers understand that gender expression, sexual orientation, privacy, and bodily autonomy are legally linked, which is why they attack them together. You are the only one pretending they are separate. You say people can acknowledge trans contributions while arguing for separate frameworks today. Republican leadership is not acknowledging those contributions. The 2022 Texas Republican Party platform explicitly stated that homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice and opposed all efforts to validate it. That is not trans policy. That is anti-gay policy, written in plain language. You say disagreement is not erasure and boundaries are not violence. Policy outcomes are what matter. When laws remove healthcare, employment protections, legal recognition, and public participation from trans people, those same legal tools are then used against gay people. Intent does not undo consequence. This is not about feelings or identity politics. It is about court rulings, legislative records, and statements made by Republican officials themselves. The idea that trans people are a firewall protecting gay people from harm is not supported by history, law, or facts.
Drop a Tear💧@DuhhMinaj

Babe , do your research... Republicans don't like you, CLEARLY. They don't dislike "gays" they dislike "trans" I care about LGB rights because they directly affect my life and my legal protections. Trans issues are a separate set of debates and policies that I don’t center my politics around. That doesn’t mean I want harm to come to anyone. It means I don’t agree that every issue has to be collapsed into one movement or that I’m obligated to prioritize causes that don’t apply to me. Y'all wanna act like us LGB people are obligated to stand next to y'all... It doesn't work that way. People can acknowledge the historical contributions of trans individuals and still argue that today’s political and legal debates around gender identity require separate frameworks. Conflating everything into one category shuts down discussion instead of strengthening it. Disagreement is not erasure. Drawing boundaries is not violence. And refusing to collapse definitions doesn’t mean I don’t believe people deserve basic dignity and safety. #DoYourResearch

This was an illegal order. The agents should have refused to do it rather than going to his home and interrogating him. You can't conduct criminal investigations into someone for asking DHS to be merciful in its mass deportation effort.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@ReichlinMelnick

@TriciaOhio Federal agents came to his home and interviewed him for 20 minutes. They said DHS headquarters ordered it. Thankfully, the agents seemed to realize how ridiculous the idea was that email broke any laws; but still made the absurd suggestion that his rhetoric was inflammatory.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is blank sample warrant. Note who signs it; an "immigration officer."
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick tweet media
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if an ICE agent approaches their home with an administrative warrant? MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's an administrative warrant and it's issued by an immigration judge, and that is a sufficient legal authority to go and apprehend someone

This is totally right. Also Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln are real people who existed not that long ago. Helen of Troy is a pretend person who, for thousands of years, existed in oral tales where people imagined that she looked like whatever they thought of as pretty.
Conor Friedersdorf@conor64

You can't cast a black man to play Lincoln or a white woman to play King w/o altering the essence of the story. But w/ Helen of Troy the essential attribute is beauty, not historically accurate ethnicity––no one complained when the German actress Diane Kruger played her.
