they have plenty of goons unless people decide to make that number insufficient
but right now? they have all the goons they need

So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m.
So around 0.6% of the population.
0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million.
They do not have enough goons.

In 1932, on the eve of seizing power, the Nazi goon army - the Sturmabteiling or SA - numbered 400,000 members. By 1933, it was over two *million.*
DHS has 240,00 employees and lot of those are non-goons who have, you know, real jobs.

I would never accuse the Iraqi Army of being well trained or using a lot of restraint. And yet in Mosul I came to expect more discretion from the average Iraqi soldier than U.S. cops who have never taken incoming fire.
not for the first time I note these guys pulling shit that would have gotten you extremely killed in any actual insurgency situation

Having the World Cup and Olympics here under the Trump regime is really a recipe for disaster.
Again: why would any player or fan come here under these circumstances? Especially non-white people?

Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT.
Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Interesting how the Trump admin blocks local officials from investigating and then the clip from the shooter’s phone somehow gets to a right-wing outlet and then a bunch of right-wing politicians immediately boost it to try shaping the narrative of what it shows. Just interesting

Kristi Noem:
-- Sent ICE to terrorize American cities, where they have shot and killed people.
-- Fired thousands of public servants at FEMA and delayed search and rescue operations in Texas by 72 hours.
-- Funneled $172 million for private jets for herself.
She's a disaster.
