Well I for one am glad that the Democratic Party is responding to this moment by...
...increasing the number of texts they're sending me asking for money.

They’re gonna use him as a scapegoat, claim bad apple at the helm, and keep doing this with a point person who’s in front of the camera less. Don’t let them get away with anything less than a full dismantling of ICE and DHS.

For the rest of his life, I hope that Greg Bovino can never go anywhere without being surrounded by people blowing whistles at him.

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

"DHS said he had a gun" well first off they've lied about every single one of their murders. second, it's a state with concealed carry. third, there were like six guys holding him down, John Wick couldn't have gotten a shot off in those circumstances. fourth let's just emphasize how much DHS lies.

I don't give a shit what you think of immigration, murdering people is wrong, breaking the constitution is wrong, tracking people to see if they're assisting their friends and neighbors is wrong. This is 1935 Germany shit going on.

Been thinking a lot today about how @ronfunches.bsky.social was treated by some other contestants on this season's Traitors, and about how he was treated by the show itself.
First of all, to see him be accused of being a traitor because of the way he spoke or his body language. It's just clear...

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.
Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.
