Please do not waste your time listening to, reading, or analyzing what Tom Homan actually said this morning.

From where I sit, I don’t think it’s a trap. It’s been clear for a while that they’re digging themselves deeper in a hole the longer they keep doing what they’ve been doing, and that they’re going to need to declare “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” so they can switch to some different awful thing.
However, this is very much a “don’t let your guard down” moment. They’re gearing up for some different horrible thing. They’re not disappearing.
@inthehands I think they're going to sit back and plan how to assault the election. They consider all this civil violence a "theatre of combat", so all these people are considered to have training/experience now.
I have no doubt they're going to put a couple guys a lot of polling stations as a powder keg and just start throwing lit matches.

Hold on to this:
Operation Metro Surge was a catastrophic failure for the Trump regime. Yes, as a terrorist operation, it succeeded: they meant to hurt and terrorize black and Brown people and the whole opposition, and they succeeded at that. But in doing so they lost their credibility, they lost the support of mushy institutions and politicians, they lost much of the popular support a would-be authoritarian needs to consolidate power.
And they lost it because we stood up to them.

No doubt when we get our democracy back the people of Minneapolis will be seen as national heros. Their stories will be in our history books like Harriet Tubman, MLK and others. What they've (you've) done is incredible.
-
@retech Yes, we are in an arms race. They've changed tactics.
And guess what? We found out. Because they're being watched. Because people are out there and being alert. And because that open outrage actually makes the media pay attention.
People are rallying against those warehouses, forcing their local gov'ts to refuse approvals. The new offices? Building management can decide the risk is not worth the rent.

@retech I think the important thing to remember is that *we* are forcing *them* to change tactics.
Which means yes, standing in the streets is most definitely hurting them. They can't bring in the numbers being demanded of them. We're slowing them and costing them money.

@inthehands Probably redirecting effort toward rigging the midterms.
-
Even if they do leave, they’ll still exist, they’ll still be funded like a national military, they’ll still be an authoritarian secret police in the making.
And the damage they did to my city, to the lives of my neighbors, will echo through generations.
2/
@inthehands
It definitely feels like they're past the "in the making" stage. They're an authoritarian secret police which commits thefts, destroys property, harasses, spies, kidnaps, and murders innocent people. -
Honestly, I’ve been expecting the “mission accomplished” banner since the day they murdered Alex Pretti. Maybe they were hoping for an ICE officer to be shot in retaliation so they could go for martial law, but a few days later when that hadn’t happened and the country was still seething, the writing was on the wall.
@inthehands
> Maybe they were hoping for an ICE officer to be shot in retaliation so they could go for martial law...Yes, they desperately want to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law, and suspend elections and civil rights.
-
@retech
> Standing in the streets does nothing to hurt them.No, wrong — and dangerously wrong. Visible opposition is what made the MSP invasion a failure for them. The murders, the kidnapping, horrible video after horrible video have direly eroded the popular support they need to consolidate power. Until they reach North Korea / Iran levels of total control over all the workings of society, an authoritarian does still need support. And the Trump regime has substantially less now than they did when the invasion started.

@Npars01 @inthehands @retech The hyper-rich should be so reviled that they have to spend most of their time in their armed compounds, support a small army of food tasters & bodyguards, & only travel in armored vehicles.
-
@inthehands as in the news yesterday that they are sneakily opening ICE offices all around the country. Going into a more stealthy mode.
@firefly @inthehands Fortunately they are completely unable to do anything in a stealthy way ...
-
@retech Okay, maybe you lost track here a little.
I want to give you a moment to read the words you wrote, which @inthehands quoted, and then read how I used those same words in my post.
You've engaged in "moving the goalpost", although I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that this was not your intent.

I hope ICE and CBP actually leave soon. I’ll believe it when they do. They’re still out there right now. They’re still horrible. They’re still destroying lives •this morning•.

It is hurting the polls, bullying Trump thought he could have it his way, but it backfired in a major way (again). So much losing...
