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...

I am so annoyed that ICE is targeting all the places that made me who I am, but also the fact that those places made me the stubborn aggressively community minded cranky bitch who gives zero fucks what anyone thinks but also wants to bring you a hotdish is why ICE is fucked.

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

There's a reason why Black people can make a joke at any time about anything. We've been surviving white people for hundreds of years now. Black joy is in spite of that. Above that. Beyond that.
You're a full human even if the world wants you to be only fear and nothingness. Eat. Laugh. Fight.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

ICE is underwater with white people. 89% of democrats disapprove. Dem reps who aren't on board with getting read of ICE need to fear for their jobs.
New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

And yet for all their obsession, not one journalist has ever come out here to rural Alabama and asked me (or any of the folks in the rural Black counties) about our helplessness at being controlled by the psychopathic white supremacist cult that has Alabama in a political death grip.

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

Every organization is vulnerable somewhere. The larger they are, the more tender spots they have.
Disrupt their events. Drive negative press coverage. Damage their reputations. Compel your organizations and institutions to sever ties with them.

Be a hornet - sting where they are vulnerable.
Here in Boston, we’ve made it more costly for Fenway to abandon trans youth and trans adults by protesting in front of their clinic, by severing ties with them, and by disrupting their gala and public events.
I suggest local activists elsewhere investigate similar potentials for disruption.

As a matter of survival, our response must be to make it as costly as we can, as ugly and as reputationally damaging and as expensive as we are able to - to abandon and sacrifice trans people.
To keep it from being an easy, simple bottom line decision to drive us out of public life.

The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.
