Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (1948)
(also known as "Deportee")
Words by Woody Guthrie

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting,
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps;
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again...
I understand people are fighting them in their communities, but so far most of the media and politicians don’t treat the concept as unspeakably abominable.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Thanks to the military and several luckless assignments in colder environments, I’ve seen it all: fierce totems marking shoveled-out parking spaces, lawn chairs, garbage cans, even small children.
But this?
Is this how DC rolls? 😉

Fun fact this is the second time protest chants have been sampled in a Bruce Springsteen song. The first time was when Little Steven spliced audio from the Rodney King riots (among other news clips) into "57 Channels and Nothin On," a critique that hits harder now than it did at the time.

The folk singer wrote the tune “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)” about the same 1948 plane crash ICE is memorializing today.

As your resident Springsteen expert I have two thoughts

1) this is exactly what America needs right now
2) this is so derrivative of "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by Marianne Faithful that it qualifies as a Folk Process.
okay it's cheesy but

"it's our blood and bones
and whistles and phones
against Miller and noem's dirty lies"

got me right in the heart

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

“Did any of that seem ‘defensive’ to you?”

@barelyinfo.bsky.social shows how absurd DHS & Bovino’s lies are about the killing of Alex Pretti.

(He thinks the ICE agent who took his guy accidentally shot it and started the shooting… at which point they shot Alex 10 times in cold blood)

The way we frame it today glosses over that this was the equivalent of tariff evaders / drug smugglers burning a Coast Guard cutter, but at some level "we got fed up being accosted by this dickhead cop so we burned His Majesties goddamn ship" resonates with Americans

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

The first guy to treat him, claiming to be a medic, assumes there’s a gun he needs to clear before he can help. There is no gun.

“Where’s the fucking gun, where’s the gun - oh, you have the gun,” he snaps at another agent behind him, who’d already pulled it off before he was shot.

We learned more about positioning, de-escalation, weapons fire control, and having one person in charge when I was a young Infantryman headed to Iraq than we did here. The lack of humanity or even the desire to not to create the conditions where someone will get hurt is stunning and heartbreaking.

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

I just saw a video of a person being shot in Minneapolis a short time ago. You can find it easily. I won't share it here. It's really, really bad.
