    I’m getting a bit tired of drawing comparisons to Nazi Germany. Like actually exhausted.

    Setting the stage for Martial law. Slowly put troops out and when the midterms start, arrest those trying to vote.

    Help them do what? Feed the detainees? Clean up waste? Because they aren’t doing very well with that right now.

    So, call me crazy, but I really do think the protest organizers need to push WAY harder on the idea that while ICE is the enemy, the NG (and the military at large too, hopefully) is not. We should make posters saying stuff like “NG: We’re citizens, and you’re citizen soldiers; we should be friends!”

    I genuinely do hope and believe that when the chips are really down at some point, if the National Guard or any active-duty unit is ordered to do something absolutely beyond the pale, they’d refuse the order and frag the person who gave it. I think that may be part of how we end up getting out of this shitshow. And yes, I do realize how deeply fucked it is that I’m basically banking on a mutiny by elements of the US Military as our final breakwater against fascism… but our civilian institutions are manifestly failing to meet the moment in any meaningful way.

      the thing is MSM isnt reporting it, and they are trying very hard not to give it more attention than it needs, because its conservative owned media.

    Meanwhile, Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” spending and tax bill would direct $168 billion towards immigration and border enforcement. But that increased spending and other immigration-related costs could cost the U.S. an estimated $1.4 trillion over the next decade.
