I keep reupping this. Greg Bovino has been in the vicinity of virtually all the worst DHS violence, and was out lying about today's murder. He gets his orders from the White House.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Trump's Selective Drug Enforcement in Latin America - emptywheel
Given his pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández, Trump's kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro cannot be regarded as a legitimate fight against drug trafficking. Rather, it's about getting a piece of the action.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.
