Did you expect them to roll over and die without a fight?

They rearranged some pieces on the board. They advanced an offensive on the sidelines. They're preparing for a final blitz.

These are desperate moves they're making, because they know they're not calling the shots anymore.

When the enemy is on the run, you harry them so they can't regroup.

Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff is atrocious. But also, this means trump will make more and more desperate moves to alienate what's left of his base and solidify the resistance among swing voters. Let him make an ass of himself. He'll be impotent soon anyway.

Escalation in Iran is harder for us to stop, but it sounds like Hegseth may be facing impeachment very soon, and once the new session of Congress begins they'll be able to take more aggressive action to put an end to this madness.

That leaves the third thing, which is immediately actionable on our part. They want a second go at J6? Start organizing the counter-protest now. Position it somewhere out of the way, but where we can sweep in and take the mob from the flanks if they begin to overwhelm the cordon of capitol guards.

Tell people to start acquiring whatever PPE they might need. Shin guards, knee and elbow pads, bike helmets or scrum caps, gloves, eye protection, steel-toed boots. Bucklers, shields, even garbage can lids or plywood with screwed-in handles. Sticks, staves, canes, and cudgels. Whatever it takes.

If they want to mob the capitol in another attempt to overthrow the will of the people, then the people will just have to turn out and give them a brawl. My bet is that most of them will turn out to be cowards once they see they're outnumbered. The day may go without a bruise.

Fascists going to fash. What depresses me is Lemmy of all places falling for the centrist bullshit like "ummmm let's just focus on affordability guysssss I am not a CIA operative"
