If you support Gavin Newsom, even in the slightest, even if it's just his AI slop social media posts, you're signaling you're as eager to get rid of trans people as the most rabid Trumpist. You just want it done with a frown instead of a laugh.

See, that one sort-of bothers me less, if for no other reason than that it's visible and it makes some amount of internal sense. I genuinely had *no idea* this thing was going on in Z-A.

Things got a little out of hand last night. This fire the group did start on the barricade that they made, but it was in the street & relatively contained. The other fire that was started was by one person & the main group tried to put it out. Today the news & local leaders are condemning the fire on the building & the whole groups actions now because of that person.
Which I do agree, setting the building on fire was WRONG. The aroun Din
fire out before the
out the media is still lumping

ogether. From now on I am gonna record those actions encase things escalate like they did, cause those actions only damage the movement. Not to snitch but to offer evidence. I would still censor. #blacklivesmatter #portlandprotest #policebruta #protests #fire #news #resist

Can I trust you with something that you can't speak of to anyone?

Of course bro. Everything ok???

Yea everything is fine. So I haven't been entirely honest here. I mean yes I have been hiding the identities of people in what I post but... I'm stockpiling my footage and pictures of the people starting shit and kind of giving that to the police as anon tips. The movement is a big deal but these kids in black that fuck shit up are scum.

Wait... are you joking? Or being serious?

Dead serious... Got a bunch of uncovered faces and sketchy things that I sent in. Some of these people are probably going to be fucked when they get caught. When I moved back from Hawaii I didn't want to come back to a city getting torn apart by morons who do stupid shit like this.

Bro... I'm at a legit loss of words here over this...
Like I can't believe you are working with the cops?

I'm not working with the cops technically. You know I roll ACAB.
They have been assaulting peaceful protesters and attacking journalists.
But I believe in upholding the laws and those who are doing damage to others need to be outed so I just throw the cops a bone to follow.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

I've talked before about power struggles within hardening authoritarianism. Usually, regime supporters fight over using rule-of-law in crackdowns (with massive abuses, of course) vs. completely embracing extrajudicial methods. Here, we see the latter dominating. Which is very bad news going forward.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in:

- Los Angeles
- Phoenix
- Philadelphia
- Denver
- El Paso
- San Diego
- Seattle/Portland
- New Orleans

Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed.

Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino.

ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations.

I am hearing from both sides of this friction.

One senior DHS official tells me:

"ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?".

Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me:

"What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there.

Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results.

Official statement to
@FoxNews

@TriciaOhio
:

"While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country."

If you use Notion you can contact them and ask for AI features to be removed from your account, they'll be like "are you sure? This isn't reversible" and then when you say yes it'll be fixed by the next day. Very handy
