NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

grew up in a US colony, but even I know this:
When the British deployed against their own subjects,
colonists created rapid message chains to track troop movements. “Express riders”rode pre-planned routes town to town. Paul Revere…

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

You may have voted for him. You may have supported what he said Operation Metro Surge was going to be.

But it’s okay to say you changed your mind. It’s okay to say he’s gone too far.

Thank you Chicago!
Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

This means fair punishment for rebellion/insurrection, embezzlement, fraud, destruction of the People’s House, assault, murder, etc. We cannot allow “the South to rise again.” Send the regime leaders and minions such as ICE to Federal prison or death. Let them stand trial with the ICC also.

- The DOJ disciplined attorneys list needs to expand dramatically
- A fair few GOFOs need to be put out to pasture immediately

these are just some things I was thinking about, maybe the start of a to do list in the future

The Senate should not vote to keep funding this rampage. We are not powerless. We do not need to accept this.

I’m not voting to fund this lawless violence. Trump’s abuse of power is tearing us apart. We have 3 years left of this presidency. Either we stand up and protect our democracy now, or we risk going down a path that is unthinkable, will hurt countless people and do irreversible damage to our country.

DOJ lies.
DHS lies.
ICE lies.

That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies.

They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.

The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
