Right? It's insane.

Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about protests in Minneapolis.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There seems to be the beginnings of a backlash in the ranks. ICE agents are saying things like 'It's time to get out of Minnesota' and 'the brand new agents are idiots.'

So Bovino is out and Trump and Miller sound like they're walking back a bit. Give up a half-inch, take back an inch later and you still get to fascisim.

Innit funny how Homan was recorded - audio and video - taking a $50K bribe, only to have Trump’s DOJ end the investigation citing ‘no credible evidence’?
Funny, but not at all surprising.

Quote:The killing of Veterans Affairs nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis by U.S. Border Patrol personnel has drawn a strong response from veterans, with many denouncing the slaying and others calling for a political audit of personnel working at the VA.
A statement on X on Sunday from VA Secretary Doug Collins drew more than 2.7 million views and 6,000 responses by mid-day Monday.
In his message, Collins confirmed that Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center and sent the VA’s condolences. He also weighed in, however, on the turmoil facing Minneapolis as a result of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations.
“As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities. … Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officials’ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals,” wrote Collins, an Air Force colonel and chaplain.
The statement sparked outrage from followers and calls from progressive advocacy groups, such as VoteVets, for Collins’s resignation.
“This happened because some fake, wannabe soldiers marched down the street looking to intimidate and rough up people. If you can’t stand up for your employees who serve us veterans, resign,” wrote VoteVets on X.
Paul Rieckhoff, founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and Independent Veterans of America, noted that Collins took more than a day to issue a statement about a VA employee’s death, and when it arrived, it was “disgraceful,” he said.
“[Collins] always and clearly cares more about loyalty to Trump than loyalty to veterans. Every one can see what this is. And what Collins is. Especially veterans. Alex Pretti, veterans and America — all deserve so much better,” Reickhoff wrote in a post on X.
Pretti was killed Saturday by a law enforcement officer as he participated in a protest over immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota. Shortly after the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security said Pretti had been shot after he “approached” officers with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun.
Pretti was a gun owner with a concealed carry permit; law enforcement officials said he was armed at the time. Videos later emerged that showed Pretti had a phone in his hand but no visible weapon and he was trying to help another protester who had been pepper sprayed.

Odd how his service to the nation was kept under the radar.
