Until Miller’s gone these are just gestural purges to sanitize and consolidate his reign of terror.
BREAKING: The Border Patrol's Greg Bovino has been ousted from his role of "Commander at Large"—and Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski could be next to lose their jobs, sources tell @nickmiroff.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

it took longer than expected but this did eventually get to Trump re: Elon! it has the added benefit of being even more true for Miller than it was for Musk
he’s the shadow president and we should start saying it loud enough that Trump becomes Shakespearean tragedy level convinced of the truth that Miller is usurping him

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

this is actually a very accurate report on what we're doing, except for the outside assistance and "lethal harassment" part. it's a massive, decentralized network. ICE cars enter the neighborhood, instantly pick up several tails, are logged, and are escorted out. it's hopeless. you should leave.
The rest of it is even funnier

The sad part is we need more people like Alex Pretti not only in the world, but at VA Facilities.
He could have gone on to train other RNs at the VA. We will never know.
Don't let this be in vain. 💜

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

It's funny how this reminds me of Bruce Sterling's The Hacker Crackdown: militarized policing organizations literally can't understand non-hierarchical action (whatever its goal) and if you explain it to them they reset after five minutes and go back to asking who's in charge

I think of alt text as telling a story, but frontload, frontload, frontload.
I initially started doing alt text for my illustrations, so that informed a lot of info — what, who, why. "Illustration by User. Scene actions. Details you'd want to know about an illustration." Other images are similar.

You know who else was "providing world-class care to military families and the community"........?
Not enough to defund ICE/CBP, abolish & investigate their internal communications so we can identify & prosecute the criminals who have been shitting on the Constitution and terrorizing communities.

This week, I visited Naval Medical Center Portsmouth to hear from leadership about how they’re providing world-class care to military families and the community. I'll continue to do all I can in the Armed Services Committee to support our servicemembers.

What we should really understand from this is that "insurgency" in other places is also often just teachers, nurses, moms, students and regular people trying to defend their neighbours and their homes from brutal armed oppressors who are murdering people they love.
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

Oops.
The judge is also bringing up Trump's post "Minnesota, your day of retribution is here," as a problem that cuts against the government's argument that Metro Surge is just for law enforcement.

@jonesjay.bsky.social Please stay on top of monitoring ICE activity in VA & whether the Constitutional rights of VA citizens, residents, & detainees are being observed.
The response time of MN's AG to Pretti's murder was impressive & shows preparation after Good's murder caught them off-guard.

I see a criticism of Judge Menendez already, but her ability to constrain federal law enforcement is questionable at best. The 8th Cir. is not going to go out of their way to block ICE in MN. She’s asking tough questions. I think her power here is very limited and folks should be prepared for that.

I know it's all bad faith, but it's exceptionally absurd to think people in Minneapolis are sitting around waiting for Jacob Frey and Tim Walz to tell them what to do.
Over the last 48 hours, the talking point on the right has solidified; the only reason that we are seeing violent clashes against ICE is because of sanctuary policies and failure to cooperate from city officials who are fanning the flames.
Take a look; it's wild how quickly they're all adopting it.

I lived among the Upper Midwest Lutherans for almost 20 years and every word of this is true, except I'd almost argue for under 24 hrs tbh
The thing about Minnesota Lutherans is that while the U.S. military can deploy a functioning Burger King anywhere in the world in 48 hours, your local Mainline Protestant church's women's committee can do it in under 36.
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.
