And the urge to scold people for celebrating is so tiresome.

Man, one thing we gotta do folks is celebrate the wins. It’s not just good self-care, it’s strategic. Bovino is gone. There is much more to do, but that is an unalloyed good thing.

In all seriousness I think a lot of women and queer folks have dealt with this era by going all in on mutual aid and community, and what we saw in MN is that this is *the* resistance strategy that works

Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally
Feels like Trump is pretty much unconditionally surrendering as support collapses

Greg Bovino didn't kill Alex Pretty or Renee Good. So. Yeah: who else?
Who’s next?
One demotion cannot detract from accountability.
Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

Do we know what hotel chains are hosting ICE & CBP in Minneapolis?
It's wild that business schools don't teach "There are still people who don't buy Volkswagons bc of World War 2."
But there's no time like the present for a refresher, I guess.

Repeal the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.
Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).
Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

If you have a Dem rep, call them.
If you've called them before, do it again.
They may be limited in what they can do, but it's still not a good reason for a failure in leadership and the ability to stand together as a party.

NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”
