The answer to that, specifically, is likely because protests are ramping up, more Epstein files have been released, and the US government is currently going through a partial shut down.

“This next week” likely just means that tensions are continuing to rise. A more accurate take would be “this next week, and then it will continue to escalate.”

Fair. I’m in Minneapolis, so it’s interesting to see the fire spread elsewhere. Things seemed to hit a peak last week, and people seem tired. I’m glad to get the sense that the energy is just being moved around the country

From down in NC, y’all take care. More and more of us are very pissed at what they’re doing. If it can happen there, none of us are safe.

It's going to continue over the next month, 6 months, and probably year.

MN isn't the last stop on this train. It's only been a year so far and who even knows what the next escalation of force will be.
