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.

AltNPS is a merch hawker that can’t be bothered to accurately cite journalists. There are no NPS employees there. Don’t follow them, repost their shit, or give them money.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Our elites decided Charlie Kirk was a watershed event that changed politics forever, but the repeated murders of people who weren't in their contacts is a point of debate they grudgingly have to concede might be an issue

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

Yeah, I occasionally see comments along the lines of “they’re just kidnapping and beating and murdering people to distract us from the Epstein Files,” and I’m concerned that that mindset distracts us from the fact that they’re kidnapping and beating and murdering people.

Numbly retweeting Bill Kristol because he somehow has more moral courage than 98% of Dem electeds these days
On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules.
The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard.
This policy is a horror:

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Obviously these issues matter. I am deeply concerned about the economy collapsing, and the fact that I’m paying TWICE as much for health insurance as I was last year. But the president attempting to wage war on his own people and our allies simultaneously should be the first thing out of your mouth.

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.

We send forces into Syria, Venezuela, Sudan, and elsewhere, to see if any refugees need a lift. I appear on talking head TV shows, looking serious and intent, talking about how race isn't real, but even if it were, it'd be a bad way to organize immigration policy.

Gavin Newsom spent the last 7 years doing the bidding of big tech. You can blame him for many of the harms we're now suffering. We have spent the last 7 years trying to keep our unhoused neighbors alive despite Newsom's best efforts to make more people homeless while he and his friends get richer.
