@jorisluyendijk.bsky.social Heeft hier een heel goed punt over de Nederlandse journalistiek. Maar ja die is vooral op jacht naar de clicks.

The auditor of the state of Ohio, who is running to be the state's next attorney general, wrote an oped this morning that the Columbus Dispatch published on how Renee Good is to blame for her death. The subheadline alone is already chilling. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Greg Bovino flew too close to the Nazi cosplay sun

Man, are they going regrets defending these dipshits now, that the tide is turning.

Do not comply in advance.

A few weeks ago, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale called for public executions. Now we've had a few in Minneapolis—and they're backfiring massively. What other brilliant advice do the manchild idiots of Silicon Valley have for Trump administration?

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.

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

According to the CBP's records – which we'll take w/ every grain of salt there is, but these are THEIR numbers – 27 "criminal illegal aliens" were convicted of murder FY25 thru Dec FY26. According to various sources (Guardian below), ICE killed 32 people in 2025. People Magazine says "at least" 32.

you're laughing, but right now greg bovino is climbing into a padded envelope to mail himself home.

529% increase in engagement with a municipal public service. www.nydailynews.com/2026/01/26/a...

Martinez took five bullets from a CBP agent, and DHS went into overdrive claiming she was an armed threat to the agents who were merely defending themselves. Sound familiar?

it is both true that firing bovino doesn’t change a whole lot in terms of policy and also true that they have put a lot of money, time and effort into trying to make him the “never back down, fuck you, we own this place” face of the operation, and unceremoniously kicking him to the curb is a retreat

They aren’t backing down. They’re just threatening people in other cities. Still illegal. Still unconstitutional. Even if they haven’t yet backed it up by shooting someone in the face.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

What Minneapolis residents have done this month in terms of organizing and community response is as remarkable as anything I've ever seen

And Former Secretary Noem, please take your sidepiece with you.

This is the coolest fucking form of solidarity I have ever seen. Bravo.

He’s sweating so much right now but if he escapes this it will only embolden him.

Some thoughts: 1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1. 2. History professors are qualified nominators. 3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence. 4. He would be so mad.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

With Greg Bovino being shown the door A reminder of how he and Kristi Noem have been in lockstep in responding to Alex Pretti's murder⬇️ (and what lead up to it).

The North Sea is officially becoming Europe’s green engine. 10 countries just signed a historic pact to build 100GW of offshore wind - enough for 143m homes A new subsea "supergrid" will connect nations directly, securing energy independence and 90k+ jobs www.ft.com/content/e9c9...

CNN reports that Bovino is leaving Minnesota

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Of all the lies she tells this is maybe the biggest one, of course he wants people killed and hurt He ran on it

Fox correspondent Bill Melugin’s stark acknowledgement that "videos appear to show [Pretti] never drew his holstered firearm" was whiplash-inducing for anyone who had been following Fox’s on-air coverage of the killing -- and it marked a major shift. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/aft...

The public pressure on the Trump regime is working. Here he is trying to say he's working with Tim Walz They must have private polling that is absolutely horrible. The people of Minnesota are doing this. Thank you for your courage!

Three years? We can get that number way down.

Trump backing down to public pressure is a good thing. But let's be clear. Noem, Miller, Bovino, etc. all followed his lead. He called protesters terrorists. He dehumanized Somali immigrants. He lied about Good and Pretti. He owns all of it. He'll also probably change his mind tomorrow.

Persvrijheid? Bosma: Het is heel gek dat de @nos weggaat van twitter. Ze verschuilen zich in het extreemlinkse ghetto'tje bluesky. Minister Gouke Moes: Of de NPO moet terugkeren op X? Daar gaan ze zelf over. Daar heb ik als minister niks over te vinden, ik ga er niet over herhaalt hij 3 keer.

Trump trying to distance himself from the Trump administration

since the WH announced Tom Homan would be going to Mpls, worth revisiting (2025) www.ms.now/news/border-...

Bovino being run out of town is the biggest L for Nazis since the Battle of Berlin

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

Watching this wretched horror squirm is like an hors d’oeuvre before the main course.

is bovino cooked too?

Q: Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller labeled Pretti a domestic terrorist. Does Trump agree? Leavitt: He wants to let the investigation lead itself Q: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin? Leavitt: Look, this incident remains under investigation

They're SO cooked and they know it.

Because it worked for a year when the victims weren’t a white man.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This couple spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention and received a pardon from the Republican governor of Missouri.

Alle partijen met ‘remigratie’ in het verkiezingsprogramma zijn maar één stap verwijderd van ICE-praktijken.

This is a tough thing to face. But on the left we *must* uphold the standards we preach. It concerns me that this is the only article by a leftist I've yet read that handles the issue honestly. Otherwise I've seen only tortured apologetics & gross hypocrisy. www.europe-solidaire.org/spip.php?art...

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

I guess the 2028 Republican primary is getting started early.

Unending disgusting, despicable, illiberal behavior from Trump. The "worst of the worst" is in the Oval Office, not in the cities and towns of America.
