For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

There is no divine state sanctioned justice at the end of the road, most Nazis who died did so at the hands of active resistance, not as an epilogue happy ending for a historic genocide

Whether we're talking about Boston in 1770, Kent State in 1970, or Minneapolis in 2026...people who live in places where the military shows up en masse under false pretenses, are places where people tend to organize to protest for their rights....and also, sadly, places where protesters are killed.

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

What they're demanding is to see all the metadata history and internal tags, but that doesn't really tell you more useful info about the individual voter. It tells you more about what the state is doing to administer its list maintenance policies. They want to gin up bogus allegations about that.

The DOJ demand for voter rolls is not about micro-targeting. That kind of voter data is already freely available between the public voter lists and data brokers. The difference in what they're demanding is more technical backend metadata so they can make spurious claims about list maintenance.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.
no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I'm not saying CSM Waltz has to lead a brigade sized guard of honor to lay the Martyrs in state under the 1st Minnesota's standard, and above the 28th Virginia's captured standard, to show they fell in the same cause and deserve the same honors. But the thought does occur to me.

Future historian looking for an opening anecdote:
Today, Jan. 23, 2026, the people of Minnesota hold a general strike to protest the federal gov't's assault on their persons and rights.
Also today, someone (perhaps a billionaire) will pay ~$5,000,000 for a copy of the Declaration of Independence.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.
