Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino says that the whistles and honking actually help the feds make apprehensions. I witnessed the complete opposite in New Orleans.

Following the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minnesota, "Commander at Large" Gregory Bovino was reassigned away from his leadership role in the operation.

Journalist Amanda Moore notes the violent culture and widespread fear he helped create won't be so easily removed.

While we're on the topic of videos, Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social) has less than 500 YouTube subscribers. What can we do to get those numbers up?

"It seems worth asking whether America250 will celebrate the ideals of the country’s founders—or those of the monarch they rebelled against," writes @dfriedman.bsky.social and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social in @motherjones.com.
I'm quoted in this in-depth story about how Trump uses history to support his authoritarian agenda and to go after his enemies. As I put it, the "enemies that matter [to Trump] are in the present: us, history professors, journalists." tinyurl.com/32n7948b

But as we report in the new piece, Trump has seized full control of the anniversary planning by creating a new public-private org, "Freedom 250," which is now organizing all the high-profile events the president wants to hold this year, nominally to mark the 250th, but really to celebrate himself.

Me and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social wrote in June about the MAGAfication of America250, the congressionally-chartered group organizing the anniversary celebrations. We first reported the group had hired a 25-year old former Fox News producer as executive director. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I cowrote a cover story!
Trump wants to control the country’s future by rewriting its past.

For the latest issue of our magazine, @dfriedman.bsky.social and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social explain how the president is weaponizing history to wage his never-ending cultural and legal battles.

Washington Post laid off many of their staff photographers, too. Which seems missing from a lot of coverage I’ve read.
