Dr Acton seemed to be person of integrity, scientific knowledge and understanding. I supported her early on and have given to her campaign. Unfortunately, recent events have given me reason to doubt her integrity after all. buff.ly/FVjGhdg #LGBTQ #USPolitics #TransRights

Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world. And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

Not because, due to him cramming his name on it while undertaking an authoritarian assault on society, rights, and life, no respectable artist will willingly touch the Kennedy Center steps and one of the most prestigious venues in the *Entire World* can't keep its doors open, no.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

It is so ORDERED.

A couple years ago I wrote a story noting that competent military commanders actually think diversity is good for the armed forces because a wide variety of eyes at the table helps to identify gaps that monoracial groupthink can miss. Anyway the anti ICE coalition in Minnesota is beating MAGA.

It's Tuesday. Bovino may be gone but nothing has changed. ICE is still in Minnesota, still not following the law or court orders. Stephen Miller and the agents who murdered Good and Pretti are still on the job. Trump is giving an econ speech in Iowa. The work continues. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Looks like Greg Bovino is the chosen fall guy as the Trump admin scrambles to navigate the anti-ICE backlash. Reportedly being "forced into retirement" and denied access to his social media accounts. Don't accept it for a second. Keep pushing for full accountability.

Does anyone get the feeling they unloaded ten shots to make sure Pretti could never live to tell the tale? Same with Renee Good. The first two shots were non-lethal. It was the third shot into her left temple from the side of the car that killed her, according to the autopsy.
