THIS is the reason why I have consistently tried to emphasize that Border Patrol and ICE are different agencies with different duties and different leadership and different styles.

Border Patrol are the aggro cowboys compared to ICE. Now they're going to be the ones running the show.

NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go:

"'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Other outlets are now reporting. First to report tonight was Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner, whose story if anything missed how big the purge was. It's not just five cities; ICE Field Office Directors are being fired in at least a dozen cities, and will be replaced by CBP people instead.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

What would it look like if accessibility infrastructure became the foundation of malleable computing? Here's a demo by @orionreed.com that adversarially adds find and replace functionality to a hermetically sealed messaging app.

cats only want one thing and it's disgusting.

(seriously tho, wet food is fucking gross)

Why are so many people so much more willing to believe that servicemembers getting blackout drunk and getting Nazi tattoos is a normal thing that happens all the time than a man you found out about on Instagram a month ago hasn't been forthright about his background

A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

The more so, I say, because truly to enjoy bodily warmth, some small part of you must be cold

I love these people and it's so obvious they are just, the whole neighborhood coming out of their houses because they are so outraged

More from the scene

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

So im sure there were black women and their organizations in the conversation and this claim may be oversimplifying a complicated history. Careful not to erase the black women fightibg for suffrage as you report on history. Thanks

At the 1913 March, there was a contingent of black women from Chicago and from Howard University. Ida B Wells was asked to march at the back for fear if violence from bystanders. She burst into the main march instead. I wrote a little about it here, bookmaniac.org/2015/10/05/r... and a zine too

I didn't realize about 12% of the total population of the United States gets food stamps. Interesting! www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-...

We're launching a portal to review federal immigration enforcement in New York after yesterday’s ICE raid on Canal Street.

New Yorkers who were present should submit videos or photos, and we will review and investigate any violations of the law.

I think you are right. It has a lot pf symbolic power.

My sources are telling me that this is Graham Platner's new chest tattoo, covering up the old one.

This is the Pequod, bound round the world! Tell them to address all future letters to the Pacific ocean!

Okay, but what if Janet Mills *also* has a giant Nazi tattoo?

My latest for Mindplex (for you to check out after hitting the streets)

Now that's a speech!!!
