I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

One thing sort of flying under the radar is the Fort Bliss aspect. CBP/DHS has a large detention camp (Camp East Montana) where detainees have been dying and the Army seemingly isnt investigating despite being on base land. And now the DoD is lending CBP lasers it used near or on the base.

This has been my takeaway. What we witnessed is a fascist so confident in her power and immunity from accountability that she feels free to mock and flaunt the democratic process.
You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
