I wonder how many will drop out of the ranks once they go from sleeping in motel/hotels, to being confined to old barracks on cots, and confined to their bases because the local businesses will not serve them.
Oh hell no.

The framing of shots like this are incredible. Today, the foreground actors would be filmed in front of a green screen, and the mountain landscape with riders on the ridge would added in post. The shot would look flat, and the mounting tension greatly reduced.

Look… Greg Bovino being sent packing is great and all, but he’s really just one of the many sacrificial Grover Dill’s this administration has at hand.
Democratic leadership cannot go back to negotiating with the Scut Farkus’s that remain in charge. They must keep pummeling their way to victory.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Never turn your back on a cornered animal.
Cut off one head, two grow back.
Now is not the time to let defenses down. There may be a short period where ICE exploits slow down, but that’s when new tactics/techniques start being developed, and then implemented.
Remain ever alert.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Even a life raft is only supposed to get you from the sinking ship back to land, you were never intended to live in the life raft, to drift years on end, in sight of land but never close enough.

I don’t shame anyone about their appearance, but I make an exception for fascists, Mar-a-Lago disfigurement, etc. Baby Boy Bovino, Killer Noem, Bondi, Cocaine Eyes Patel, Nosferatu Goebbels Miller. The ugly seeps out of their souls and makes their monstrousness visible. Evil inside and out.
