Honestly tired of people telling me Trump "can't cancel the elections." It's not a literal point. Can he cancel each state election? No.
But can he intimidate or arrest election administrators? Yes. Can he pressure Republican secretaries of state to suppress votes? Yes. Havoc on election day? Yes.

Seems that a main lesson the admin has taken away from OMS is to choose smaller metros with what they perceive to be less social capital and civic infrastructure. Only solidarity across regions can prove them wrong.
For reference, Minneapolis's "Metro Surge" was 25x larger than Chicago's Midway Blitz - ten times as many agents in a city almost a third the size.
The Springfield metro is only 136,000 people. A 1000-agent surge will be the equivalent of TWO HUNDRED MIDWAY BLITZES at once. Utter insanity.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.
After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

Trump received 13% of the vote in 2024 in the Minnesota district (in St Paul) that held a legislative race tonight, losing it by 71%.
