I continue to be grateful for your advocacy for those who have no power in our society. Educating us about this allows us to stand up and resist this fascist regime. We each are called in different ways, and everyone needs to heed the call.
The personnel matters. Jonathan Ross—the agent who shot Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, and active shooter trainer. Three shots, 698 milliseconds, while she turned away. Her last words: "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you." His words after: "fucking bitch." When a doctor asked to help: "I don't care."
The commander of Operation Metro Surge is Gregory Bovino, Border Patrol Commander-at-Large reporting directly to Noem. His documented record: 3.6:1 use-of-force ratio (Border Patrol average: 2:1), four federal judges have confronted his conduct, one explicit perjury finding. His text to agents: "Everybody fucking gets it if they touch you."
These aren't rogue actors. They're promoted for this.
I've been documenting the pipeline—how we got from 4chan to federal badges over 22 years. The $200M DHS recruitment campaign ran "Call of Duty"-style videos targeting gun show attendees and UFC viewers. Result: 220,000 applications, ICE doubled to 22,000 agents.
They built an army. Now they're deploying it against the people.
Better training for the enemies of the people is not how we win.
Well documented. Anyone who looks at that record and believes "even more training will fix it" is missing the point that it was the ICE training he received that enabled it. Abolish ICE now.
I knew you'd be heartened by your trip. People are amazing. I follow some people who live in MN, and they write about the bravery they witness and partake in every day. You are getting that energy firsthand!
I read that the democrats were going to vote for this bill a week ago. Personally, I have lost all faith in the majority of the elected leaders. There are a few that I will always favor, but people are unpredictable. Thank you for keeping us informed. A vile demon and his supporting sub imps were voted in and we are witnessing sadism without any filters. There aren’t any fairy tales here.
Qasim, I am truly grateful for your courage, clarity, dedication, and persistence. You are one of the most dedicated American citizens I’ve ever encountered. Thank you, sincerely, for all that you do. I wish we had about 80 million more just like you. ✌🏼🗽🫡
Thank you for doing this! Our political system is broken! We are going to need you to help rebuild when it finally collapses!! You are our hope and future!!
I must say, this was galling. These Dems and the leadership should be ashamed and we should shun them. There is no neutral ground here. Prime Minister Carney (Canada) was right when he said to all assembled in Davos, stop pretending! See this regime for what it is. See how it is ripping us apart and destroying a once respected alliance of democracies and a once respected role model.

Thank you for bearing witness!
The House vote is more chilling than the Minnesota cold. While Democrats disgust, Minnesotans inspire.
Agreed. Indefensible.
Those 7 democrats should lose their seats
I know there's little faith in the mid-terms, but we can't comply in advance. Please sign:

As a mother, a grandmother and a human being, Thinking about that little, little boy kidnapped and spirited to TX makes me sick to my stomach. My God.
There is no reforming Team D. The people in charge of it are perfectly happy with the way it is, and would sooner destroy it than give their power up.
You see fascism. They see fundraising opportunity.
On it! No words except thanks for your leadership.
Stay safe
I spent a January in Minneapolis. -30 degree weather is dangerously cold. Stay safe and thanks for your reporting.
Thank you for being there.

Truly inspiring to see. We need to make this model national.

Just doing what I can to pay my rent here on Earth. Grateful for your trust and support.
