@inthehands I hope he's evicted upon his return to El Centro, or slapped with ridiculously high HOA/property tax fees.
Better yet, I hope someone has burned down his house. Let him be humbled by the homelessness he fought so hard to brutalize.
Fuck him forever. I hope he doesn't have to be on planet Earth for much longer.

Bovino belongs in prison, not heading off into a cushy retirement gig. -
My latest calls included: “Fewer agents is not enough. More oversight is not enough. Demoting people is not enough. Destroy ICE and CBP. Wipe them out. Burn them, bury them, and salt the earth. Eradicate them like a cancer.”
@inthehands Will Homan really be much of a difference? I only reason Bovino was sacked, I fear: I produced way too many "unfortunate" pictures. His terror was total in line with the regime's doctrine.

IT IS WORKING. If you haven’t called today, call again!!
Today the Trump mob is hinting and waffling and shuffling and floating half-measures, and none of it means anything except this:
They are afraid.
They are afraid of losing what little support they have. They’re afraid of losing funding. Redouble the pressure. Press the advantage.
@inthehands Emailed all 3 of my reps today. Defund, abolish, impeach.

Exactly. This is a response to images with "bad optics" not a change in what they will do.

Just to reiterate:
Trump admin are trying to give Senators an excuse, any excuse, not to block funding to DHS.
We need to make sure that doesn’t work. Don’t let up. Keep them all afraid.

#YouShouldBeAfraid is a hashtag to adopt, from Cory Doctorow's (@pluralistic) "Radicalized - A Short Story About Healthcare and Desperation"It's well worth the read, (about 20-30 minutes at most)

@inthehands that body cam video must be really, really bad for DHS. Still, they can’t mention who are these awful people killing American parents’ children in the streets? Cowards and liars.
“But Leavitt did remark: Nobody here at the White House, including the president of the United States, wants to see Americans hurt or killed and losing their lives in American streets. We mourn for the parents. As a mother myself, of course, I cannot imagine the loss of life, especially losing one’s child”

@inthehands
Bovino, "commander-at-*large*"?!?!I don't *want* to make a short joke. I really shouldn't. I'm trying not to.
But I just can't *be the bigger man*.
@ZenHeathen @inthehands neither can he!

Don’t stop. That’s how they got this far. They never stop pushing. In all directions. -
Yeah I doubt he'll retire
That's just a cover story to get attention off him for a while
These are *all* pathological liars

I'm in awe of what the Minnesota community is achieving. Thanks for all the thinking and sharing you're doing.. it's so important for folk right across the world at this time to understand what is happening, and to clearly see and hear that the solution is to build and support communities to stand together and resist this evil.

@inthehands They shouldn’t be able to win in any race. What they have done and allowed to happen is beyond disgusting.
