This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Every time pple think of saying, “why aren’t more publications covering [topic xyz],“ please don’t. This is why. been in media for 35 years & rich assholes destroyed it. media of past no longer exists. We are trying. Subscribe. But let go of the idea of “media” from 10-20-30 years ago. That’s gone.

Shut it all down. All of it. ICE, DHS, Border Patrol, the entire Republican Party, all the fascist billionaires, X, Tesla, Avelo, and every Democrat who supports them.

It's evil through and through.

Heads up everyone, it’s not just Minnesota. These fuckers are still doing their fascist bullshit across the nation.
Tonight, most (if not all) the Zipps bar locations throughout Maricopa were raided by federal agents. Community members arrived to legally observe and agents pepper sprayed the crowd least one location. Workers were taken.

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

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.

Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

I love this spectacular Ruffed Grouse Pennsylvania resistance bird by Jen Rand ( @jenrand.bsky.social ). The star is a nod to the Quaker tenet of nonviolence, and the style harks back to PA Dutch folk art.

I'm gonna add to this that the Dems had ZERO to do with the Bovino firing. It was the tireless work of the good people of MSP standing strong, filming and writing the news with their first hand accounts. The press tried to both sides it. They WANTED to. But the citizens of Minnesota ended this guy
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez has been a hero throughout, advocating, witnessing, speaking up, getting assaulted by ICE thugs, but still never failing to help the people he represents. Bravo @jchavezmpls.bsky.social
Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.

While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

Demand they sacrifice a bull. Demand thigh bones wrapped in fat.
The doomer take is "he's a sacrificial lamb, it achieves nothing" and while he IS a sacrifical lamb, administrations don't do that unless they're backtracking. It is up to us to keep pushing and NOT accept the sacrificial lamb as good enpugh.

Do not let them lull you into compromise.

Getting rid of Bovino isn't enough.
Getting rid of problem agents isn't enough.
Getting rid of ICE isn't enough.

Keep fighting. Lives will continue to depend on it.
