What did you do in the Great War daddy?
Well, I explained to my constituents why I really couldn’t do anything. Didn’t have the votes, or the guns…something about bait.
Then I asked them for $3.

Keep in mind both of your state governments are arguing in court that these abuses are INTENTIONAL.
You owe your constituents an answer.

Politicians seem constitutionally incapable of perceiving state violence *as* violence, even when the President of the U.S. assembles all generals and says to their faces, “I’m going to war on Dem-led cities.”
How can you listen to those kids and think “it’ll be awful if this turns violent”?!

What do ppl expect a war to look like? Ppl are already dying in the street; the city is under military occupation. This *is* what war looks like, when no formal organized force contests the territory. Ppl have been convicted of treason in the U.S. for *less*.

I think someone once charted a history of the video games, and at what point you were first able to play as a TIE fighter pilot. Which then led ultimately to “which will you choose? Dark side or light side?” ad hook that I don’t recall ever seeing before the most recent trilogy.

One quibble: these aren’t “rogue” agents. Their actions are being explicitly defended by the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Vice President, and the President of the United States. These paramilitaries are waging war on the people of MN at the direction of the Trump government. It’s treason.

![* Saturday, 2/1: "Mr. Musk's initiative is intended to be part of a broader review of the payments system to allow improper payments to be scrutinized and is not an effort to arbitrarily block individual payments, the people familiar with the matter said. Career Treasury.
Department attorneys signed off on granting the access, they added, and any changes to the system would go through a review process and testing....
[Sen.] Wyden expressed concern that access to the payment system had been granted and pointed out Mr.
Musk — a billionaire with a vast portfolio — has potential conflicts of interest. "Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it," he wrote on social media." [emphasis added]
* Sunday, 2/2: "Elon Musk said his "DOGE team" of government efficiency_enforcers is shutting down some payments to federal contractors, suggesting that the world's richest man may have access to sensitive systems used at the US Treasury Department.
"The corruption and waste is being rooted out in real-time," Musk posted on X, saying officials reporting to his so-called Department of Government Efficiency are
"rapidly shutting down" payments to a Lutheran charity."
So much, it seems, for "a review process and testing."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qcdkgsv4ancml4yt5bde7fwi/bafkreibftjjf7cmnvwhpmts4amqk2qffhrrj5e2hesvrah5cppqtl65kre@jpeg)

Finally, here's a bit I cut from my argument because it's outside my expertise but I'd be very curious if folks like @silvermansecurity.bsky.social think there's anything to this observation in general and this analogy in particular:

Put another way: we aren’t supposed to reach this point, bc it requires we elect enough federal officials willing to abandon democracy & prevent impeachment. But even then, there’s a fallback: “State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger.” (Federalist 46)

Threats of force deployed to upset legitimate state processes are equally as treasonous as force deployed. If the city of Minneapolis or the State of Minnesota buckle under such pressure, their capitulation demonstrates they were subjected to a treasonous levying of war.
