There will probably be a serious incidence of bloodshed and military involved will have to face the reality of actually killing their neighbors before they hesitate and consider the consequences.
The majority of humans don’t think things through before they get mired in the quandary.

Your description is probably the best I read so far.

DC is like Ukraine's Crimea.

This is a dress rehearsal.

We’ve had 3 states now with defacto martial law while trump has ignored Supreme Court orders, fired career civil servants for political reasons, is rewriting scientific reports on climate and vaccine, and expands the concentration camps program

While economy stutters

And Americans are still asleep

Maybe anyone who doesn’t have to visit or spend money in DC should go elsewhere.
Nothing changes if it doesn’t bankrupt somebody.

First, the troops came to LA to attack and disappear the peaceful protesters.

Then, the troops came to DC to attack and disappear the peaceful homeless.

If America falls, it will be because of the people who weren’t paying attention — and didn’t take that damn poem seriously.

Same with the military. They are doing everything except their primary jobs.

Crime is down…he’s testing the waters. Wants to see how we will react to the militarization in DC.

There’s a word this administration keeps throwing around that should worry you: “Liberation.” Kristi Noem said in Los Angeles, “We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country.”

Large #ICEprotest, with little to no media coverage, in LA yesterday

Right! I’m thinking about writing tomorrow’s column on this but what to say beyond that

A January memo from the Department of Justice

trump is lying about crime in dc. and yet almost none of the mainstream media will assert this obvious fact. why? because the media sucks. it has lost any capacity to just tell its audience obvious truths. it is afraid to rock the boat, to lose access, and to displease its financial masters.

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest — the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.

The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state

Some of these companies have questionable political support records. They are either hedging their bets or just haven’t gotten around to dismantling their DEI programs yet.

Monarez did not provide any additional information about the suspect's motives during the call. However, a briefing some CDC employees received Saturday from senior agency leaders said the gunman left a note, according to one employee who attended. "We were told very clearly that this was targeted, directed at CDC," the employee said. "But we were also told that this was an isolated event." There has been speculation among CDC employees that officials may have known about possible threats. When Monarez was at the CDC this week - her first week on the job - she was accompanied at all times by armed security guards, the employee said.

During Monarez's call with staff Saturday, another CDC senior leader, Daniel Jernigan, who heads the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, or NCEZID, estimated there were about 40 bullet holes in CDC buildings on campus. He did not mean it as a complete account, but rather an indication that "it will take a bit before the buildings are 'fixed' again," said an employee who listened to the call and, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to share sensitive information. The shooting was "way worse than what was initially reported," the employee said, adding that gunfire continued for about 15 minutes and that "it's a miracle more people weren't hit."

Feel like this needs a spotlight: employees were told that the shooting at CDC, which left an officer dead and buildings riddled with bullets, was targeted at agency, @lenasun.bsky.social, @laurenweberhp.bsky.social and @tobiaraji.bsky.social report

Incredible footage of Plasma ejecting from the Sun.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

More proof that these masked vigilantes are not trained professionals and have been given full permission to act however they please.
If they had a reporting command structure they’d know you don’t speak that way to anyone essentially paying your salary.
