This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother".

@mvilain @bodhipaksa @astifter @pluralistic @obucate Some have suggested that the Administration is hoping that some person kills or seriously injures an ICE agent during an illegal home invasion so that they can justify a more extreme clampdown on dissent.
It's almost certain that this is what Trump wants, so that he can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops. Given his knowledge that the midterms are going to go badly for him, it's likely that ICE will behave more and more provocatively in the next few months, either so that the show of strength will energize his base, or so that he can claim he has the right to suspend the election.

@bodhipaksa @EricFielding If all the ICE brownshirt tactics survive the mid-terms in November, I wonder what would happen when there's a confrontation in a Blue State like California which has it's own independent Guard that Newsom can activate. Or some other state with the same setup. How would ICE react to having heavily armed California Guard standing over them or perhaps detaining them to screen who they are and where they live? I'm pretty sure that's when Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act.

The richest people on the planet are funding these fascists.
Keep a look out for their playbook conduct too.

@mvilain @EricFielding That rather chilling scenario was war-gamed recently (although for a different state) by the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law.

"ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
Come for the quote, stay for the text.

This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.

@Npars01 @bodhipaksa @EricFielding What real representatives of the sovereign American people would do to keep Trump & his gang from stealing another election:
1. Impeach
2. Convict
3. Remove from office
4. Disqualify from holding public office ever again
5. Bar each of his appointees, staffers & affiliates from getting anywhere near Executive, Legislative & Judicial branches under the United States ever again.
6. Hold public trials on the Trump gang's conspiracy against rights & conspiracy against the U.S. -

@mistergibson @bodhipaksa @EricFielding
The Veruka Strategy -- make it expensive for billionaires to fund a fascist movement.
"The through‑line is simple: every new front the regime opens is another bill it has to pay-- with money, infrastructure, legitimacy, & people.
The most effective counter‑strategy is to make compliance more expensive than resistance for everyone feeding this machine: ...”
... help starve a project that is now threatening almost everyone, everywhere."
