“Descalation” ?!? This isn’t a late night fight at a bar you shit-heel tragedy of a human being. This is the garbage your PR firm spins up for you to deflect from the fact that you fund this Regime and directly pay off its authoritarian leader. For deep unabiding shame.

Appreciate @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social description here of how cold it was in Minneapolis. You can't really understand how huge of a moral victory January 23 was until you realize how painful it was to be outside.

2. ICE is buying your private location data from sleazy data brokers through a legal loophole. I've had a bill to stop this since 2021. I'm renewing my push to get it passed into black letter law as soon as possible.

1. ICE is using Palantir apps to collect biometric data on protestors. I'm working closely with @markey.senate.gov to stop this.

“Alex was an easy playmate: generous, curious, sweet. His mother always ensured he had a tidy haircut and a clean room. He had a little sister. He told me the truth about Santa, and I told him the truth about where babies come from. We rollerbladed and had sleepovers…”🥺

This new @motherjones.com piece from @samanthamichaels.bsky.social on a warrantless ICE raid in Memphis is just gutting, and the video is like, holy crap! The mom, Nicole Amaya, and her six children are all US citizens, and our govt treats them like terrorists.

Only took a few days to go from invincible fascist dictatorship to "I was just following orders"

it's a good sign but, just level setting here, he's on tv talking about the news every day

catching a lot of "if only the tsar knew" stories seeping out today

All this, to avoid the Epstein files. The murders, the Gestapo, the tariffs, the chaos. All of it to cover up that the president is a child molester. And the GOP is going along with it. I think they're hoping to delay long enough to have him declared unfit to stand trial.

SCOOP: Nursing home companies donated $4.8M to Trump's super PAC in Aug-Sept. Their executives landed a lunch in Aug. with Trump at his NoVa golf club where they asked him to revoke a rule to increase staffing to prevent patient neglect. His administration revoked the rule a few months later.

I'm sure a few ICE agents suspect this already, but it seems very clear that DJT, Miller & Bovino WANT an ICE agent to get killed. They need their own martyr. There is a reason they are putting them in increasingly volatile situations.

He wasn’t murdered because he had a gun. They both didn’t see the gun to start with. And then didn’t start shooting until after he was disarmed. They murdered him to try and teach people a lesson that they can’t stand up for their Constitutional Rights and fellow neighbors.

“Only one ticket sold” 😂 💀 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

And the penalty for that is…death? WTF does whether Alex Pretti had ID on him matter to his MURDER?

I guess he just got lucky.

This is the quintessential conservative philosophy. On the government dole, receiving one of the best healthcare insurances in America, and then mooning the citizens that pay for their entire lifestyle while claiming the government is evil, and has to be stopped.

Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers. Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.

We are at a tipping point on ICE and immigration enforcement. The shootings are so unpopular that Trump appears to have lost his edge on both deportations and immigration more broadly. Abolishing ICE is net popular with independents. & Bovino is out! 2026≠2024 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-imm...

And this is why you don't have sunroofs in Maine.

🧵This was Alex Pretti’s senior picture—Class of 2006 at Green Bay’s Preble High School. He was an honors student, a three-sport athlete, a Boy Scout and sang in the Green Bay Boy Choir Went to the University of Minnesota, graduating in 2011 with a bachelor's in biology and the environment.

I truly hate that this idea actually makes sense, and I'm not kidding one bit.

I’m in group counselling for people who talk too much. It’s called People Who Go On Anon.

This should really boost attendance at the Super Bowl. I wonder how many fans will be shot.

And what's more -- now that the people did it, the politicians are noticing and starting to follow suit. Reminds me of the old line (attributed to various figures): "There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader."

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Their basic model of the world just doesn't have bravery and decency in it, and those things confuse and terrify them

Bovino's project was to himself become a rally flag for the worst elements of DHS. Turfing him out hurts their morale and makes it clear that today's patron might be tomorrow's underbus.

This. I pray Maine or their next target will organize similarly. The folks of Minneapolis are American heroes.

Greg Bovino and Kristi Noem being kicked out of Minnesota on the same day underscores how devastatingly bad the PR has been for the administration after it ham-handedly sent in hotheaded, untrained ICE goons to harass residents of Minneapolis. Because people across America saw it on video.

Considering how much Bovino clearly relished being a violent thug on camera and egging on the agents around him to behave the same way, the temperature will no doubt come down at least somewhat simply due to his absence.

It's not a commodity pistol. It is from the Sig Custom Shop, and it has a mounted optical sight. There is enough wear on the pistol that it's been used for a fair amount of practice. It will read, to that community, as the type specimen of a "good guy's gun."

It is this: that is a firearm owned by a responsible gun owner who takes concealed carry very seriously, and is probably technically proficient. The person who carries it is going to immediately be recognized as "one of us."

🌱Today’s flower/plant is Sea Holly (Eryngium) along with some Purple Coneflowers(Echinacea) which go together beautifully. Sea Holly has tiny, silvery needles so I recommend are wearing gloves when planting. Both of these plants are beloved by hummingbirds, bees and butterflies.

A fun part of sexism is when self-proclaimed military experts think that PTA and church moms can't organize, communicate effectively, or run logistics.

He was on his way to work. Not with a gun. He had no holster asked the doctor who saw the gunshot wounds to his back and chest. Where's the holster. Where's the gun.

The deliberate and hostile resistance by the Polish government are to blame for the uprising Heinrich Himmler, 31 December 1942

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Maybe if Minnesota business execs can get together and put $50K cash in a takeout bag, they can get Homan to pull the masked goons out of the state. Can always get the cash back when Trump toadies get prosecuted by a real DOJ in the future.

Are you great yet?
