C'è poco da festeggiare col demansionamento di Bovino che guidava l'ICE a Minneapolis.
Il problema non è lui, ma è che l'ICE sta agendo in barba agli ordini emanati dai tribunali, come se la legge e le disposizioni dei giudici non si applicassero a loro.
Questo è il fascismo.

On #Holocaustmemorialday, one could ask: how could people elect a mad dictator? How could people go to war of conquest, how could they stay silent in the face of mass murder?
It would never happen here, to us, we all said.
Well.
Turn on the news.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez has been a hero throughout, advocating, witnessing, speaking up, getting assaulted by ICE thugs, but still never failing to help the people he represents. Bravo @jchavezmpls.bsky.social
Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.
While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."
That's a death threat.
If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.
What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.
Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

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.

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

When someone posts rage bait, it’s very tempting to jump into the fray. But if that person has 26ish followers, give it a miss.

Spinning up a hotline to help spouses of DHS agents leave their partners is an interesting idea. You'd have to actually do your homework to do it ethically, but I think the psychological impact would be tremendous
