Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.
They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime.

I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

A thread:

In my a new post I talk about how JD Vance and Stephen Miller have been responsible for the two biggest political disasters of Trump's second term so far - Greenland and Minnesota. Their "rules no longer apply to us" project is taking a huge, deserved hit.

Everyone needs to be calling Congress today - they need to hear from us. Loud and proud!

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

“Tom Homan, the former ICE chief who Trump has designated “border czar,” will head to Minnesota to assume command of the federal mobilization there, Trump said.”
Sounds illegal?

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...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Nobody gives book recommendations like @kleinman.bsky.social
The Shape of the Ruins by Juan Gabriel Vasquez is maybe the best novel that you could read right now? He weaves together such a brilliant tale of what it's like to live through history and conspiracy that I can't think of anything else I'd recommend someone read right now.
Some people really like Isabel Allende but after reading The House of the Spirits I'm not one of them. The prose is just too damn purple.

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.
In response to a quote tweet of DHS that says “you guys killed an American citizen,” Greg Bovino replies: “Triggered much?”

The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.

In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.

It’s not.

ICE is murdering people but instead they should be murdering high egg prices
Trump has completely ABANDONED his promise to put America First.

How does spending years and potentially billions of taxpayer dollars in Venezuela help families pay their rent, their mortgages, their grocery bills, their electric bills, their health care bills?

Dems need to assert that attacking a NATO ally would be a direct violation of the president's duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and therefore an impeachable offense. Treaties are the law of the land.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Trump's conducting illegal kill campaigns and military raids and 7 of the 47 Senators in opposition just voted to confirm a Trump nominee to the Pentagon. We can dream of what it will take to change the party eagerly cheering the killing, but a good first step would be opposition from the opposition
