Could have just said “CBS’s Bari Weiss plans to stop doing news.”

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
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...

When I showed this panel to the extremely mainstream audience for the Berryman Award ceremony, there were audible gasps from the side of the room with the Washington Post table.

As Eli notes in the follow-up posts, last year Trump fired all the Biden appointees from the board of the US Holocaust Museum and replaced them with a bunch of Trump toadies. It's really gross that the org is throwing a fit like this. It's so obviously political.

I thought the thing about Trump forgetting the word for Alzheimer’s was a clumsy joke. Apparently not. It’s among several good anecdotes in this NY Mag takeout on Trump’s health. (It’s almost more about his nauseating sycophants.)

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Whether they will say it or not, surely there must be some people in the MAGA movement who are able to see that Stephen Miller is a psychopath.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

📺 Recommend watching this short clip on X of an absolute car crash of an interview on British TV with a former US Ambassador to Denmark, who exemplifies the MAGA way of dealing European NATO allies’ objections to having their fallen soldiers insulted by a draft dodger.🍿

Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself. It arrives wrapped in “security,” “order,” and “law enforcement.” Minneapolis is being used as a proving ground. If we don’t stop this now, we may not get another chance.
