Still just a modern guy.

Democrats agree to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Update: AP is now reporting ICE will have a security role at the Winter Olympics in Rome.

“federal ICE agents would support diplomatic security details and would not run any immigration enforcement operations.”

Absolute 🔥 thread
Got an email from the reactionary centrists at Searchlight Institute urging Democrats to avoid calling to #AbolishICE and pushing instead the message of “reform and retrain.” 🤯

This is such bad advice and an invitation to let America slide further into fascism I had to write a quick rant 🧵 1/

When law enforcement takes the threat of neo-Nazi violence at left-leaning protests seriously they can uncover evidence that solves open investigations into hate crimes. Who would have thought?
NEW: 8 men linked to Vinlanders Social Club, a notorious violent racist skinhead group, have been detained for hate crimes.

Police in Charlotte, NC seized 3 members' phones last October after they brought knives and brass knuckles to a pro-Palestine protest. 1/4

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.

that’s right. you don’t stop. you push now. and then you run on the obstruction all summer.
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Sounds like someone’s going out like a bitch, @marisakabas.bsky.social.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Good example of how once you're in the rightwing bubble you go insane without realizing it, you think everyone agrees with you about total nonsense like "paid protesters" bc that's all you hear
“Minnesota Vikings radio broadcaster taking leave of absence after mocking ICE protestors.”

“On Monday, Paul Allen apologized for what he called a ‘cheap one-liner’ in which he called protestors ‘paid’ and wondered aloud if they would get ‘hazard pay’ to be out in inclement weather.”

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.

The Barstool pricks absolutely bear responsibility for spreading & monetizing the date-rapey frat-boy shit that helped make Trump palatable to so many dim guys who otherwise might not have even voted. It’s definitely good news that they’re finally finding their line, but fuck these dudes regardless.
Even the Barstool bros (whose founder Dave Portnoy voted for Trump three times) are lambasting ICE for their execution of Alex Pretti. This is breaking containment

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be
counting his bullet wounds.”
