This is the ramp up for martial law. No one wants to accept that, but you all need to start.

I've never wanted to be wrong about shit more than in the last couple months, but it's been depressing as fuck lately how many people can't see what coming.
They legit think "raising awareness" and peaceful protests are going to fix anything.
Protesting against trump in Cali or Chicago won't accomplish anything but putting a target on your back.
Citizens need to be protesting their governors for not fighting back against federal overreach, not clapping for do-nothing PR stunts or social media posts.
But no one even knows the basics of how our government is supposed to work, so they have zero clue who is even supposed to be doing what or what they could be doing right now.
It's just learned helplessness all over
Edit:
To clarify, we literally fought and won a civil war over federal over-reach in this exact same usage.
The south wanted a strong fed that would raid and deport minorities from Northern states.
The Fed sided with the North instead of complying with the South.
This time the Fed sided with the south, but for some reason everyone in the North keeps saying that's the way it is and we have to obey the Fed no matter what.
These days it's more urban/rural than North/south. But the point remains.
People don't understand history, so they can't understand today.
States still have power, it's just most governors care more about protecting the status quo and billionaires money than protecting citizens.
State law enforcement can 100% arrest, detain, sentence, and improsin federal workers, even the military.
Hell, think of all the states that have legal weed, even though it's federal illegal. They don't even question the hypocrisy in their thoughts, just willfully ignorant and angry at anyone that mentions their ignorance
In the last nine months, ICE has spent a whopping $71,515,762 on purchases of “small arms, ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing.”
For comparison, in 2019, ICE spent just $5.7 million on the “small arms” category through October 18, and during Trump’s first administration, the government spent an average of $8.4 million per year.
While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased “guided missile warheads and explosive components.”
Is there some actual source on this other than a screenshot from a platform I don't use written by some people I don't know?
This is the source article they worked from. It was linked to via the author's name, but it wasn't hard to miss if you weren't looking for it.
Source cited by a number of media articles is a substack called Popular Information. They say it can be found via the federal contract procurement system but I wasn't able to find any results for ice that were actually warheads. I didn't search exhaustively but I am not sure exactly what they're referring to since armor is also under the category that includes ordinance. There's a link in the article for searching the database, maybe someone can find it.

They should probably link to the guided missile contract somewhere directly in the article. Primary sources are key in this shit show.
You might try reading the article.
This is what they want 
Both more info about the movement and source of map here https://bostonraremaps.com/inventory/technocracy-inc-technate-of-america-1940/
I figured they wanted to carve up the U.S. to be given to various oligarchs to rule in the manner that their weird guru Curtis Yarvin talks about....
Yea but then explain the threats to take over Canada, Greenland, and invade Mexico, Venezuela, and most recently Colombia. The oligarch feudalism can be implemented across all that. This was an actual movement in the 1930-40s
first of seen of this, and it's frightening because it aligns with the rest of my understanding. not surprising, just a bit jarring and sobering
Trump soon sending ICE to Canada and Mexico to deport Canadians from Canada and Mexicans from Mexico
its time for people to acquire some rpgs
You can get em cheap in Syria and Lebanon. Importing might be a bitch though. Although seeing how CBP spends more time terrorizing it's own citizens, I'd say the borders are probably more open than they were during Obama or Biden admin.
Fuck 'em.
