An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

Black filmmaker Jonte Richardson says he is stepping down as a BAFTA judge:
After considerable soul-searching, I feel compelled to withdraw from the BAFTA emerging talent judging panel. The organisation's handling of the unfortunate Tourette's N-Word incident last night at the awards was utterly unforgivable. I cannot and will not contribute my time energy and expertise to an organisation that has repeatedly failed to safeguard the dignity of its Black guests, members and the Black creative community. This is particularly unfortunate given that this year's cohort boasts some incredible Black talent, especially one of my favourite shows of 2025 "Just Act Normal". However, when an organisation like BAFTA, with its own long history of systemic racism, refuses to acknowledge the harm inflicted on both the Black and disabled communities and offer an appropriate apology, remaining involved would be tantamount to condoning its behaviour. I hope BAFTA leadership comprehend the damage they and the BBC have caused and take the necessary steps to ensure their production staff are inclusive enough to prevent such an issue in the future.
Yours sincerely, Jonte Richardson

I have read the statements by both Davidson and Mcnally of Tourettes Action. They do not seem to understand the enunciation of the word has a material impact that exceeds the frame of intention. A lack of intention cannot shield one’s body from the effect of language.

One of the quiet joys of researching is when you see a connection between a current investigation and a past investigation that would have never predicted, yet makes perfect sense. Research serendipity I suppose. It makes the long hours of reading feel worth it when sometimes it can feel pointless.
