WTF is this nonsense?
On Tuesday, Johnson told the press that he had not seen federal law enforcement “cross the line yet,” but instead, he said, “What I’ve seen is the abuse of law enforcement by radical leftist activists.”
“Most recently,” Johnson went on, “the most threatening thing I’ve seen yet was the naked bicyclers in Portland who were protesting ICE down there. I mean, it’s getting really ugly.”
How could that possibly be threatening?

You need to build a movement that believes in the rule of law and stopping lawlessness. And it takes time to percolate to the public.

It is clear that the law still slows down the current administration, so why make it easier for them to ignore it more by just assuming a priori that they won't comply?

And why rush into violent rebellion? People like Miller would love for people to react violently - it would give them the propaganda win for calling out the military.
The first notion, of nation building in our own nation. Fascists are not known for live and let live. Between the gestapo, the concentration camps, charging every opponent with crimes....
With their choke hold over the economy and absolute dysfunction and chaos, you're going to struggle to have a functional society in any regard. Let alone a good and wholesome one.
And if you beat the odds and do everything right... they will come for that.

Do not bank on public sentiment and public knowledge of things. The media is largely subdued now, most will show what the fascists tell them to show. Those who don't, will slowly disappear one by one. By the time you need the world to witness your peace loving sacrifice, no one will be listening. The annihilation of your people will be hailed as Dear Leader's glorious victory over terrorism.

You still think we have a country. They will show us both, who is right and who is wrong.

Judge says Chicago ICE have to wear and turn on body cameras when arresting folks. They cannot arrest folks attempting to go to immigrant hearings at courthouses. The ICE director for Chicago has been ordered to appear in court in Chicago this morning but apparently left town Friday and Homeland Security says he isn't the Chicago guy (apparently as of right after the court said he had to appear today.) There's a new guy but it seems nobody knows just who that is. Homeland security said “Samuel Olson, permanent FOD of St. Paul and former FOD of Chicago, will now be acting as interim FOD of Chicago.”However, it looks like the Department of Justice wants Customs and Border Protection Deputy Incident Commander Kyle Harvick to answer the judge’s questions instead. Their reason being they had "determined Border Patrol was mostly involved in the incidents in question, not ICE. Typical FUBAR from the government.

This going to be more of just pissing off the judge, but to what end? Another scathing statement during/after the hearing with no teeth behind it to enforce any consequences.
