An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.

"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"
How a family secret led Greg Bovino to lead Trump's border crackdown
Before he became the face of Trump's tough ICE policies, Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino endured a childhood marked by a family scandal that changed the trajectory of his life.

First: a growing number of U.S. service members are now reaching out to outside legal counsel to determine whether the orders coming from President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are lawful. That alone is extraordinary.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
Alice could not eat food for years.

And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.

🚨 No. No you cannot violently detain one of his employees and then try to be a patron while his employee is still detained or imprisoned or has been deported. Damn right! This is how natural consequences work.

My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:
