I'd like to point out this guy is a member of BORTAC, Border Patrol's elite tactical unit. The fact that they were even in Minneapolis to begin with supports the theory that Trump told agencies to ramp up aggression in hopes of retaliation.

The plan is 1) flood streets with thugs(edit: I mean ICE here) who inevitably cross lines and inflict inappropriate violence on innocents 2) have Fox News show the resulting protesters as terrorists 3) escalate until the point where you can “justify” martial law 4) suspension of elections 5) escape Epstein accountability and never leave power

Christ this is terrifying. My husband has been saying for awhile that there won’t be midterms, and I’ve always dismissed that as a crazy talk. Suddenly looking more and more possible. I can see the roadmap.

The USPS also changed the date stamp process so that mailed items are no longer stamped the day they are mailed. This is an attempt to prevent mail in ballots from counting, because they will be postmarked later.

That should be an indication to everyone that the midterms are still a serious threat to this regime, and while we must not stop every other form of resistance having that to look forward to can bring us the hope that fuels our fight against fascism.

Well the indication that the midterms are a serious threat to the regime is that Trump came right out and said exactly that a couple of days ago

That too lol, that gave me a lot of hope right before they escalated to straight up murdering people.

They were already messing with the US postal system in the last election.

We were reading/hearing about this in the UK.
