Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Border Czar Greg Bovino is doing an all hat no cowboy walk around Minneapolis like he's playing Hitler in a school play.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

For you youngbloods out there, in the 1990s it was near impossible to find a desk that didn't have a Dilbert cartoon clipped out and taped to it. It was the perfect evisceration of the post-Reagan, cubicle gopher, this-meeting-could-have-been-an-email culture. He became one of our worst heel-turns.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Is Trump's deep fear and envy of Obama behind his plan to purchase Greenland?
