Something like this, but more specific

Cops don't stop being cops just because they got fired by an agency. Bring them in at your own peril.

flatirons.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Love this idea

bonniepatterson.bsky.social•21 days ago

Not just that, but they will need extra personnel for anti-extremist work, as far-right groups will be recruiting, and, if the US follows the same pattern as the UK, there will be Russian-inspired (or paid) saboteurs interfering with every system they can.

bruiserchgo.bsky.social•21 days ago

Right, and the feds will have little desire to do anything about those, even if they had the manpower.

bonniepatterson.bsky.social•21 days ago

There'll be clean-shaven men in suits outside doctors' houses sharing bomb making tips and the feds will just arrest anyone complaining for threatening the extremists' freedom of speech.

I can see Pritzker being on top of this. Love living in the Khanate

chicagomstie.bsky.social•21 days ago

My hope since the election was to see Illinois become a sanctuary from all this. Pritzker being a far more progressive governor than I expected him to be has been an oasis.

kcirrot.bsky.social•21 days ago

All hail Great Khan Pritzker! (Just kidding…maybe 😅)

andydumas.bsky.social•14 days ago

He's really fat. Can't we get someone with good nutritional values as a leader? Really, setting an example to kids to be obese is like setting an example to smoke. He needs to set an example if he's going to lead anyone.

shitcanned FBI agents, who are typically both Thugs With Guns and Devious Lawyers simultaneously, will be especially valuable.

🚨 KASH PATEL TO GUT FBI COUNTERTERRORISM TO ALLOW J6/PB/MI MILITIA/OK/3%ERS TRAINING. PARAMILITARY LOYAL TO TRUMP INAUGURATED BY EO. RHODES OR LANG HEADED. USE: PRESSURE MILITARY BRASS, FEDERAL JUDICIARY, CONGRESS, ARREST POLITICAL ENEMIES. FAKE TRIBUNAL TO “GITMO”🚨 https://open.substack.com/pub/kanzthecat

in general i would encourage all dem governors/mayors to investigate their current goon situation - if you have a court order saying one thing and the trump administration says a different thing, "who can quickly occupy the relevant building with their own armed guys" is gonna be determinative a lot

We have so many hidden maga goon in PA. One Senator outright, Mastriano is all about Project 2025 and stopping women from voting. He a Nazi straight up. It's time. If we wait too much longer it may be too late. The Christian Nationalists think they have it in the bag, but they're in for a shock!

Leftists who got out and vowed never to pick up a weapon again are very close to picking them up again.

We've already taken care of that. We're ready, they simply don't know it. The element of surprise.

tubbles.bsky.social•11 days ago

I went from being vehemently anti-gun when I got out and I'm certainly not that anymore, not after the demented dictator got in TWICE.

crosis101.bsky.social•11 days ago

My dad was very gung ho pro USA until he was deployed to Thailand in the early/ middle 70’s. Whatever he saw made him tell his sons to never trust a president like Trump.

crosis101.bsky.social•11 days ago

I have a friend who has a file 6 inches thick that’s mostly black marker.
He was so disgusted when he got out he went so far as to become vegan. And never wanted to pick up a rifle again.
After this month…he’s still vegan.

We go left to get our guns back. I think the 2nd amendment is purely a leftist principle. Some liberals are anti-gun, just like 30 million democrats are forced birthers. An armed, organized workforce demanding the world serve their interests over the rich is what this country needs!

scsiwuzzy.bsky.social•21 days ago

At the start of the Spanish Civil War, the cities that didn’t immediately fall were the ones that opened up their armories to citizens (which included a lot of unionists). The mayors that didn’t were soon surrounded by soldiers and national police and were forced to surrender.

Even better: hire them to specifically prosecute Tesla, SpaceX and Elon Scam Inc. There's obvious low hanging fruit like warranty fraud, reselling of used cars as new, open environmental violations and more.

frusengladje.bsky.social•21 days ago

A subtle variation on ‘empty the jails’ (which Trump has already done)

rowenap.bsky.social•21 days ago

Along the same lines, trans folks who are drummed out of the military should join blue state National Guards or offer weapons training to liberals in blue states

cesarferraro.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well, that's why the modern criminal justice system was developed as a superior alternative to what came before, and why policing is as essential a service as medical care. If there were no criminals who wanted to hurt and steal from people, then cops wouldn't be necessary, but criminals do exist.

cesarferraro.bsky.social•20 days ago

On the specific topic at hand, wishing that Trump didn't control a vast security services apparatus isn't going to change reality, the thing that Dem governors and mayors can do is make sure that their high-ranking security people can be trusted in the event of a confrontation.

dotmobile.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Why don’t we just withhold nys federal tax contribution and then we can support our own Army of prosecutors, state lawyers etc. to fight this psychotic administration!
