This story & his sister's telling of it is a master class in how deeply sick family dynamics are rationalized under white male power.
His father killed a woman in a drunken stupor, and then started "boxing" with Bovino as a kid, punching him out.
This isn't toughness. It doesn't make men heroes.

Gregory Bovino’s sister, on him being mad at The Border:
“Greg was so psyched because he'd read all these articles and loved the toughness and the values of all these old timers. Then he went to the movie, and the Border Patrol person was a criminal.” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

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.

Cruelty is the point.
This is appallingly cruel.

One thing I used to like about getting up as early as I do East Coast time is that I would often get the hilarious overlapping night owls from CA with the rather staid and reasonable EU/UK news at the same time.
Now it’s just fresh hell news cycle everywhere, but before 6 am.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

DOGE failed. And DOGE is dead. So I guess government can be responsive after all.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Underappreciated lesson from 2016: most fake news was run for profit (not ideology) & right-wing fake news thrived because it sold better than left-wing fake news. X takes that to next level with a social media platform designed for right-wing users, intentionally incentivizing right-wing fake news.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/

The Fed is gutting its ability to monitor warning signs of bank failures and slashing rules put in place after 2008 to prevent another financial crisis.
Now, big banks are ramping up the same risky behaviors that led to the last economic crash–setting the stage for another one.
