ICE killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine.
He was legally authorized to work in the U.S. and had a Social Security number. His wife and 3-year-old daughter were in the car when ICE fired at least five shots into the vehicle.
He was not the person ICE was looking for.
An eyewitness says an SUV struck his vehicle before the shooting and heard him say, “I tried to stop.”
The ICE agents involved were not wearing body cameras.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY highlights a simple reality: when masked, unidentified people in unmarked vehicles try to ram you off the road, it can be extraordinarily difficult to know who they are or how to comply.
That is why identification, body cameras, transparency and accountability matter.
Without them, this is not legitimate law enforcement. It is fascism.
Help people prepare for ICE encounters and deal with the aftermath: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2N2N2
They can find billions for bombs.
They can find immunity for corporations.
They can find loopholes to deport families.
But healthcare? Housing? Wages?
Suddenly America is “broke.”
You are being robbed.
A new UT Austin study found several water samples collected in far East Austin exceeded regulatory guidelines for lead and other heavy metals. https://t.co/WZQlctKOFQ
EXCLUSIVE: Two Austin-San Antonio passenger rail corridor studies just released. One uses toll road right-of-way, the other an existing @UnionPacific corridor. Something needs to be done in this corridor. @TxDOT@TxDOTCommission@AndyBrownATX@HNTBCorp@Amtrak
For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.
Austin is for everyone. 🏳️🌈 #Pride is formally celebrated in June and August around here, and we love it that way. This #PrideMonth and always, we honor the rich LGBTQIA+ culture and history of our community.

I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state.
We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service.
To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.
Hey Ken Paxton :
I am an ex Waco child abuse prosecutor.
And while you are focused on bathroom stalls, I am focused on why you allowed Adam Hoffman sodomize a child and he is still a member in good standing of the Texas Bar.👇
Water in this Austin suburb comes out brown, leaving residents with high bills and ruined appliances. Some are spending thousands on solutions.

They shot Renee Good in the face.
They kidnapped Liam Ramos.
They just executed a man on the street.
Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.
.@JamesTalarico: Christian nationalists walk around with a mouth full of scripture and a heart full of hate. Don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I'll tell you what you believe
The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.
Today, Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagan bravely stood up to defend democracy from the Texas GOP gerrymander.
RETWEET to thank these justices for standing up for the Constitution!
To be clear, it was a **Trump appointed judge** that initially found the new Texas map to be racially biased.
Thats how compromised this Supreme Court is.
