Normal soldiers responsible to state governors carefully distinguishing themselves from the paramilitary thugs responsible only to Dear Leader would be one early plot point in a civil war
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Looks like lots of families won't be able to enjoy the national parks this spring and summer because of Elon Musk and DOGE www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... It's very MAGA!
Long lines and canceled rentals: Firings bring chaos to national parks
Trump’s purge of federal employees is already harming the visitor experience at national parks across the country.

The video footage in question is a CCTV recording obtained from the Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo. The clip used in documentary is a disturbing sequence of Ito’s limp body being dragged out of a taxi and through the hotel lobby by her rapist

We need to find a system that allows residents to exercise their right to continue living peacefully against construction companies. Various laws and regulations regulate construction, but most of them are just rules that must be observed to protect the rights of the builders.
建築する事業者に対抗して住民が自分たちの安寧の生活をし続ける権利を行使できるしくみを探る必要があります。建築基準法も東京都建築安全条例等様々な法令が建築を規定していますが、ほとんどが建てる側の権利を守るため、これだけは守りなさいよという実態になっています。
