For most of us, civil war is too frightening to contemplate, let alone seriously prepare for. Instead, we organize against MAGA politically, culturally, and socially.

It is utterly naive to believe that the police, capitalists, and mad scientists are developing all this expensive technology to only go after a tiny fraction of dangerous people. Facial Recognition Technology and drones will quickly shift from targeting the scariest people to the most ordinary.

The Right can not allow a state to pass a policy like this, and to then become a success story. If policies from the left jump through all of the arbitrary hoops that our country has intentionally constructed to uphold business interests, and then go on to be popular, all of the sudden the people in Wyoming might also want them.

The obstruction charge Patel is bringing against Dugan is dubious enough that they would have similarly retaliated against any but the most docile responses from others. The trouble is, Trump has been wading headlong into the murky waters of legal ambiguity for years, while Democrats stand on the edges, wringing their hands. When you are facing a problem, it is important to never be alone. Right now, Trump is attacking the judiciary, and the judiciary has been standing alone against him, just like Judge Hanna Dugan was left to stand alone. If she defeats the charges and resumes her position, Trump still won, because he got a judge suspended for months.

It’s a massive failure on the sheriff, chief judge and county executive’s part and on the part of the county board in general that they are only now working on securing and protecting migrants at the courthouse. 

You can take action to ensure the processes for defending migrants that these stakeholders develop are as robust as possible. 

Wisconsin’s business elites have been buying SCOWI races for going on two decades. Digging into that history we see that conservatives use obviously corrupt, physically violent, and blatantly racist means to push their agenda. Defeating Schimel is not just about defeating Musk and Trump, it’s not just about returning rule of law and democracy to Wisconsin, it’s about taking the government away from Wisconsin’s own wealthy elites after decades of minority rule.

What federal judges do or say will change the timeline and the exact shape of the struggle, but people’s active, on-the-ground resistance is what actually frustrates and prevents MAGA attacks on the people they target. Will our local institutions cooperate with Trump? Will we step up and protect our neighbors?

Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffery Norman is trying to fill his department with officers who have been stewed in Republican villianization of our city. Mayor Cavalier Johnson and a majority of Common Council members gave that plan a green light last month. 

As the fall-out of the election unfurls upon us, we must remember that it was pro-genocide Zionists who helped cement Harris’ position as a status-quo politician. Ann Jacobs’ hard work helped ensure Harris would proceed with an unpopular platform and a disastrous campaign strategy, facilitating Trump’s victory.
