The problem with a consolidated police state where all law enforcement agrees on core principles is that the answer many have is to “call the police.”

Call me crazy, but I don't think the question of whether or not Bovino belongs in his job depends on whether or not he deletes the tweet he made calling protesters "cannon fodder." Making the tweet (along with many other things he's done) should disqualify him from any law enforcement job ever.
Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

I know at some point I need to let it go, but the relative silence of so many Harper's Letter people right now is beyond infuriating.

Some college kids yelled down a conservative speaker. And some authoritarian armed agents of the state beat up someone for looking at them.

I remember when this happened. I was horrified. And of course nothing happened to the cops.
I'm from Buffalo, so I'll use our example of BPD cracking the skull of Martin Gugino. Officers stopped others from making sure an elderly man was okay because he dared to stand up for what was right.

even ignoring all other evidence showing that trans sports bans are about discriminating against trans people, not protecting cis women...

I'm supposed to believe that the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade and has two justices credibly accused of sexual misconduct cares about womens rights?

Actually, I'd say they're even worse.

Jim Clark and Bull Connor largely focused their abuse and assaults on African Americans who were taking part in public civil rights demonstrations.

Greg Bovino is invading private homes and workplaces looking for his victims.
We must stress: The only violence is coming from CBP/ICE. They are rioting in the face of sustained nonviolent protests by thousands of Americans across the country.

They are today’s Alabama State Troopers at the Selma bridge. They are Bull Connor’s police with firehoses in Birmingham.

Just spitballing here, but I think the founders probably wouldn't have approved of a President putting the entirety of a highly militarized federal government on a war footing against a state because he didn't like how they voted in the last election. But I'm sure John Roberts knows what he's doing.
Trump just posted that the "day of reckoning & retribution is coming" in Minnesota.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

There should be a much, MUCH larger discourse and reporting on how whoever is running DHS' social media is an overt white supremacist who is literally posting Nazi memes on a daily basis. Doesn't matter that it's almost certainly some edgelord 4chan intern; it's still happening and it's obscene.
“We’ll Have Our Home” again is a song that’s extremely popular with white nationalists. It’s all over Telegram. I think the first time I heard it was from a video of a secretive group called the Mannerbünd.

It can’t be said enough that crisis in Minnesota is 100% created and escalated by DHS. 100%.

2 weeks ago absolutely nothing was going on.

No protests. No safety crisis. Nothing.

DHS invaded, started racially profiling. Killed a woman. Escalated violent attacks.
