A Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by TNR signals top-level discussions about a potential escalation of the Pentagon’s domestic anti-immigration role, and lays out new details.

Why wouldn’t it? Everyone’s sat by and happily taken it so far.
Having read the memo–which is basically meeting minutes between the DoD and DHS-- it’s seems to be missing an understanding of how much Trump is disliked up and down the ranks. They ultimately did almost nothing in LA. The birthday military parade had clear signs of everyone phoning it in on purpose. Signalgate convinced all but the most diehard MAGA soldiers (not as big a group as you might think) that this leadership is a bunch of clowns.
What this means is that the White House still overestimates how much the military is in their pocket. Good.
From Ur-fascism:
Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.
What’s missing from the analysis is that they can’t objectively evaluate their own forces, either. As much as they go on about strength and fighting and war, they’re actually really bad at it.

When their enemy is civilians, they only need a few willing soldiers. China ordered several army units to use deadly force against protesters in Tiananmen Square. Several generals denied the order. Whole squads threw their wepons into the river and deserted. The Square was still covered in the blood of thousands. A few loyal soliders in tanks is all that’s needed. The generals and soldiers who denied the order were court maritaled.
He’s never had to fight harder than it takes to throw a plate of spaghetti at the wall.
The fuck trump shuffle was funny to hear about. The logistical failures in LA and Afghanistan are great signs of poor strategy and basic understanding of… Any military not just the US.
…and then they came for me
Right now everyone needs to be fighting for the rights of immigrants and trans people, because those people are simply on the front lines of a battle that’s coming for you if they fall. This is how we need to think of the fight for human rights. It’s not a series of separate fights for this group’s rights or that group’s; it’s an ongoing battle for all of us, whose front lines are always shifting as the enemy spots opportunities.
As a trans woman fucking help us, this is a situation where you really are with us or against us. If you side with us then you show you give a shit about your own rights too. If you are against us (or are ambivalent about it) then you are casting all of our rights aside because of some culture war bullshit.
You will be next, so fucking act now or forever wish you choose to act.
Exactly. This is something everyone needs to care about. If you want to stand up for humanity, fight for trans rights.
Well said.
Fascists need an enemy, and when they’ve exhausted all external threats they’ll turn to their own citizenry.
YOU should ask how DoD is planning to more effectively support DHS during the next instance of “L.A.-type” operations.
This is what happens when you let the weird uncles rule your country.
As a weird uncle, I have to inform you that most of us don’t want to rule a country. We want to teach the kids to sing the diarrhea song.
Ah yes, I should have specified the weird racist conservative kind, not the weird, friendly but quirky kind of uncle.
