I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

That's remarkable stuff. And really illustrates why the Millers of the world want there to be as little process as possible. Because process will stop their goals.
Read this whole astonishing document. it should be taught as an object lesson in what volunteering to assist a fascist government does to your mind, body, and soul.

Trump decreed that the lawmakers’ warning about illegal orders was “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” That’s a message worthy of the ayatollah. Speaking of the ayatollah...
