Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

the obvious thing for them do is let bovino and noem swing for this, but everyone in the administration has adopted trump’s reflex to double down in every scenario, a strategy that works if you’re the anointed head of a fascist movement and shows up as evidence in your war crime trial if you are not
Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

Can't say I told you so about something I deliberately never said but
How to know the gun possession was lawful/irrelevant/unbrandished: despite trying their hardest to hype up its presence in that first statement, they didn't scream about her "illegal gun" or "attempted murder"

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

i think a big part of this is the left-liberals in america have not managed to even bypass the filibuster
I complain that constitutional reform is never taken seriously by the UK left but it pales in comparison to how little discussion within elite US liberal and left circles about serious constitutional reform.
It just now strikes me that the United States, unlike every other democracy in the world, has never ever ever had an early presidential election. This seems like a problem? Like you need to have an institutionalized path for designating an entire administration illegitimate and voting for a new one?

Schumer & Jeffries for prison
Per the Constitution it is Congress’s responsibility to keep the Executive Branch in check.
Any member of Congress who is not at this very moment working to advance emergency legislation to shut down everything ICE is doing and to hold the responsible parties to account has abdicated their oath.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.
