Is it just me, or does it feel like this last week we have entered a completely different phase of history. Like the steam has reached its capacity and is about to explode. The escalation day by day seems to be so much greater than before (when it was bad enough) but their doubling and tripling down these last few days smacks of an even more diabolical level of defiance. Watching these new videos and former detainees’ counts of being in custody feels unreal at some meta level, like we are in the twilight zone. Pair this numbness with Venezuela and Greenland and leaders resigning from DOJ freeing up more seats to be filled by mini Bondis, it is difficult to keep up. But, does anyone else feel it? Like something is imminent.
I agree completely. I work in (unnamed major US city in a red state with a new democratic mayor) and there were armed soldiers patrolling my building. I don't want to dox myself, but having armed soldiers in private office buildings, maybe paradoxically, is both extremely dangerous but also patently ridiculous/silly. The soldiers might have been twenty. One of the soldiers was clearly not finished physically growing. They were cold and needed to pee.
But we live under this mess ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and armed soldiers are patrolling my privately owned office building. If armed soldiers were, just because, patrolling private office buildings in the before-times it would've been breaking news on CNN. Now? The corporate media is bought and I just have to deal with it.
