Good read, outlining the steps of what may be coming. For example, launching private military to deal with dissent.
"Private military contractors have a real, leaked $25 billion proposal to do this."

"So, when we first hear about the Insurrection Act, it may trigger our alarmism. But better to face it now, before it comes, than learn about it on-the-fly."

What to do if the Insurrection Act is invoked

With the Insurrection Act looming, now is the time to learn how it might unfold and the strategic ways to respond.

i think it is cool that a government run by fanatical bigots is on track to plunge the economy into a mountain and cause a food crisis

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

The sadistic minds behind this are gleefully inflicted pain and abuse. Scary as hell as there will be no end to it, who is next?

Use Donald's own words, everyday, everyway, by rotating the message from various elected Dems.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Please Dem leadership, start messaging:
Epstein files
Mental decline
Attacking cities
Stripping healthcare

Everyday, everyway, over and over on rotation with our elected Dem leaders!

Michelangelo Signorile @msignorile.bsky.social · 13h

This is a good way to hit back at Trump's deranged statements and calls to jail Democrats.

Media needs to focus on his mental decline. Democrats must force media to do it.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
