The arrest comes days after police handcuffed U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla after he was forcibly removed from a press conference held by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
If you haven’t, it’s time to start arming yourself and your friends and family.
As anti-gun as I typically am, the bottom line is a decline into fascism requires as many guns as possible in as many hands as possible to end it as quickly as possible.
If conflict escalates with an armed vigilante uprising, it will be used by Trump to justify everything the military does, which will include live rounds on civilian targets. An armed militia cannot compete with the military.
The only way victory (hopefully through a mutual desire not to have a civil war) is possible is if state national guard and police remain loyal to their local governor and vow to fight against the federal government on the people’s behalf. But that’s still massively risky.
The best thing as always otherwise is a large scale non-violent protest. Bigger and more persistent than the No Kings protests.
Pushing it to that point is the most likely way to get the military to fracture. Which is the only realistic way to win this by force. Not saying force is the only way, but if it is the way, you need to force a split.
If they open fire on unarmed civilians fracture is much more likely than if they open fire on an armed milita. I’m just looking to encourage avoiding giving the authoritarian side any excuse to claim the higher ground.

And it’s wayyyyy beyond time for any politician or candidate with a D by their name to have some goddamn private security.
This is such an American response.

None American here, but I believe the most important right you Americans have, beside the right to free speech and vote, is the right to bear arms.
Not many other countries have that.
Cant believe one day I actually say that, but the 2nd Ammendment is so important. And yes, I am also anti gun and pro gun control.
Still, the situation is getting so fucked up I think it is better to arm and protect yourselves.
