Trump is swapping pint-size fascist Greg Bovino for Tom Homan. You may remember Homan as the "border czar" who was caught taking $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents. He also said immigrants should be looking "over their shoulder" and that the mayors of sanctuary cities should be locked up.

Greg is right.
I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Losing access to my github seriously freaks me out. Why I hate that they're forcing these annoying authentication apps that I don't fully trust myself with... ok so now if I lose my phone I have to find a json file with keys to somehow back it up? Feels like it introduces more potential disasters.

And ICE/CBP violence in MN isn't about immigration...
It's about rigging the mid-term elections! Here are the receipts:
Bondi will pull ICE/CBP out of MN if Gov Walz gives The Regime access to MN's voter files!

Hegseth needs to be tried as a war criminal. He and his orange blood handed boss are the ones saying this is a war, they are the ones making it so, and they need to bear the responsibilities for the war crimes they are committing. #AbolishIce #AbolishTrumpsGestapo #HoldAllAccountable
Minnesota is one of the goddamned stars on our fucking flag. There is no star for ICE, or the cops or the military. Those stars represent the fifty states that make up the goddamned UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The officers need to be reminded that THEY work for US, not the other way around.
This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.
