Lockjaw kicking back in his new office with the Christmas Adventurer’s Club.

live look at Greg Bovino moving into his new office.

Yep. I think there’s two people who are uniquely terrible and empowered that we need to get out of government - Miller and RFK Jr

A time to kill. Now imagine she’s white

Like 30% of the country realizing ICE is bad after seeing who they murdered this weekend

Palantir Defends Work With ICE to Staff Following Killing of Alex Pretti “In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this,” one worker wrote on Slack.

Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com

If we’re ever getting rid of DHS it’s going to take a weird coalition of left wing types and traditional conservatives/libertarians so it’s good to see those seeds being planted.

The Dem establishment will never in a million years do it

There is, on top of all of this, something deeply upsetting and telling that the breaking point was the state killing a cis white man

Long way to go yet but I think it's worth pointing out that the entire rightwing media ecosystem went all in on the idea that Americans, or at least enough of us, would accept the idea that the government should be able to murder people in the street and they failed utterly

Feels like the week we decide between making him a Hitler for 25 years while he orders executions from the YES/NO ipad in his wheelchair and oxygen tank ~OR~ making him a the most hobbled and incapable lame duck in the history of the Presidency until he's either removed or quits next year.

I need everyone to see the video that radicalized me. The video I talked about in the Atlantic interview.

Wow. Per @priscialva, DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately. He spent yesterday responding to people who were criticizing him and raising questions about his unverified claims about Pretti.

"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: “Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. “Today, we demand accountability. “In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. “Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Whiskey Friday with Greg Bovino

Good to know that the opposition party is run by Kevin Patullo.

I wasn’t arguing that. I think you’re missing my point. Brown people in Minnesota and other cities are hiding in their homes and in some cases being hidden in others homes to avoid persecution by a fascist regime based on their ethnicity.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Our prominent Jewish institutions like the ADL and Holocaust Museum being run by right wing partisans at a time where antisemitism is ascendant with much of it being driven by people affiliated with this administration is a real travesty and a disgrace

Let people celebrate that a ghoul got got instead of immediately pointing out that the fascist fucks are still everywhere, the work isn't finished, etc etc. We know. We get to spike the football too.

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE:
Renee Good: $1,499,580
Alex Pretti: $1,289,249
Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423
Parady La: $45,848
Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991
Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640
Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538
Geraldo Lunas: $2,260
Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

Man, they thought after the 2024 election everyone was all in on the Thousand Year Reich when it turns out most people are just selfish idiots who thought their groceries would be cheaper

And he WILL be brought to justice.

Certainly appears moms with whistles won the Battle of Minneapolis.

Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

D.C. Trump names allies to Holocaust Museum board after firing Biden appointees The Trump administration earlier this week fired Holocaust museum board members appointed by President Joe Biden. Updated May 2, 2025

The same Museum has been stacked with vassals of the most publicly pro-Nazi administration in the history of the U.S.

just an extraordinary vibe shift rippling across every cultural, business and political context all at once

the elite cover for indulgence of evil shit collapsed in one weekend

Health should be better and he’s still at an age where we shouldn’t see steep decline or anything. I think he’ll be fine

Pope Leo’s Top U.S. Ally Says ‘No’ to Funding ICE Cardinal Joseph Tobin calls ICE a “lawless organization” perpetuating a “machinery of death” and urges Congress to defund Trump’s deportation force.

NEW: One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE.

Tobin says the “lawless organization” is a “machinery of death.”

This marks the first time a senior Church leader has called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning
