This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

For decades the world's biggest above-ground tank - located 7km from Darwin- has been leaking huge quantities of LNG- possibly the equivalent of millions of tonnes of C02.
'Huge' leak from gas plant kept secret from public in 'national scandal'

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

While I was slicing up bits of video for this thread/post, we got confirmation that the commanding officers at Fort Bragg set this up deliberately.
This should be career-ending for those responsible. If not, it's "game over" for even the appearance of an apolitical, democratic military in the US.
