In fact as far as *tenable* power consolidation goes I think they have shit the bed in ways that are likely not recoverable. They went about this all wrong and it’s probably too late to get things back on track
They’re going to lose. The question is how much damage they’ll do on the way down

Their only strategy is shock and awe, all they know how to do is push harder. They are incapable of strategic moderation or retreat
Which is part of why things are likely entering a whole new level of danger. But they really do not have a coherent plan for power consolidation anymore

Cowardly cops calling other cops and lying because someone documented their kidnapping.
Speaking via translator, next man up describes his experience being pulled over by CPD and prevented from observing Border Patrol in Edgewater in December.
Agents called 911 several times and lied about him trying to ram their vehicle.

True. It’s not like thet mutually exclusive thought. They themselves will tell you that much.
Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections.
Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys

new race to see which state will be the first to charge federal agents with murder or attempted murder of their residents. Solidarity works better when all try it rather than none.

Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

There’s no Trump Doctrine, just a map of the world that the President wants to write his name on in big gold letters.

Crucially, it is EXTREMELY difficult and costly to occupy a place with a hostile population that doesn’t want you there.
They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

This is why the "two realities" discourse is so weak— and frequently propagandistic.
The Trump admin's PR operation is obvious – call Renee Nicole Good a "domestic terrorist" and repeat it very loudly and confidently – but the lack of evidence is also obvious. Where's the proof that she was "stalking" ICE officers? The lack of followup says a lot

This man converted to a faith that makes it its mission to remind him at every turn and at the highest possible levels that it fucking hates his guts, so at least there’s that.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone
