Greg Bovino, who is CBP, not ICE, has been the Where's Waldo of abusive immigration enforcement from the very start.
He was present in MN. His dudes did the shooting in OR.
He reports to Stephen Miller, the guy who ordered up murderboats.

This will eliminate our chance to finally, fully impeach the fascist, authoritarian, war monger, & serial child rapist.
Casting off this dark, maligned cancer on our society will naturally usher in a new era of international peace, cooperation, & prosperity in a return to civilized society.

It is extremely important to warn people, that a civilian uprising over the cold-blooded murder of an unarmed citizen in Minneapolis, MN will only give the fascist regime what they want–martial law & to cancel the 2026 election.

If the regime would cease picking fights with & carrying out attacks on the majority of people in the US & starting/threatening war with other countries in the a western hemisphere, and more time investing in people, infrastructure, and peace... oh never mind. That's clearly not happening.

If the Republic is to topple to protect serial child rapists, then the Republic should topple if only to shine a bright light on the racist, misogynist dark underbelly of the US. Thereby cleansing the electorate of all the malignant treacherous robber barons inherit within.

The Trump White House marked the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection with an official webpage that claims the 2020 election was stolen (it was not), insists Trump supporters were peaceful that day (they were not), and accuses Mike Pence of "cowardice and sabotage."

A slim, but doable opportunity to take back the House of Representatives and put the brakes on the wholesale implosion of The Republic.
Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa has died.
Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress last night.
A special election in Texas on Jan. 31 will put in another Democrat in office.
Mike Johnson's House majority is almost non-existent. Next month, he can only lose one vote.
