Spot-on. The US government has long been itching to use the Insurrection Act. Miller’s words are carefully chosen.

Not good.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · Jun 7

Stephen Miller, who some insiders have dubbed Trump’s “prime minister” (while Trump is more of a figurehead), is now claiming that an “insurrection” is under way. This could escalate rapidly. The Insurrection Act is likely on the table. They most likely attacked blue cities with this endgame in mind

Post on X from Stephen Miller reads:

“An insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.”

The post Miller is quoting and commenting on is from Brian Allen and reads:

“BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles.

California isn't backing down, this is a full- blown standoff with the feds.”

Shame to see English politics lurching further to the right, aping the US and driving deeper into the dark abyss of hatred.

Remarkable pictures of Trump and Zelensky meeting before the Pope’s funeral in Rome, inside St Peter’s.

Zelensky’s office has called the meeting “constructive”- it’s been briefed they’ll meet again later today.

A spell of much warmer weather is on the way next week 📈
As the jet stream becomes more amplified this weekend, a 'blocked' weather pattern will develop across northwest Europe - but how long this lasts for is uncertain
