State of the Anti-Trump Resistance Movement and the Burgeoning Color Revolution
https://grayzoneresearch.substack.com/p/assessment-state-of-the-anti-trump
Former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and State Department employees are hosting recruitment and training sessions for current federal employees to resist the Trump administration from the inside, according to a report from nonprofit media outlet NOTUS…Assessment: A “noncooperation” campaign is a resistance campaign, using predominantly nonviolent tactics to attack or otherwise undermine the legitimacy, authority, and capacity of a sitting government – in this case the Trump administration…it will use tactics like civil disobedience to grind down the gears of the Trump administration and prevent them from, as they see it, becoming authoritarian…If this resistance movement decide to foment an actual revolution – colloquially known as a Color Revolution – to topple the Trump government…a Color Revolution is a type of irregular warfare that uses predominantly non-violent action to topple an existing government, usually through mass protests, demonstrations, civil disobedience, and public displays of mass political defiance…As opposed to the hard power of an insurgency — a violent, armed attempt by irregular forces to overthrow a government — these “popular” revolutions use soft power — social power — to resist, embarrass, frustrate, and undermine the legitimacy of a government and then force it from power.

https://grayzoneresearch.substack.com/p/prairieland-detention-center-ambush
Here’s a quick series of events surrounding this ambush. In short, based on the number of weapons recovered, it could have been much worse. It sounds like some would-be shooters chickened out…I’ll continue to track this story because there are a lot of loose ends and I’m betting this is not the end of armed violence against ICE.

https://www.westernjournal.com/supreme-court-hands-trump-major-win-government-fat-cats-terrified/
The Supreme Court lifted an injunction placed by a San Francisco district judge which blocked the Trump administration from reducing the federal workforce in large numbers. President Donald Trump issued an executive order as part of his administration’s Department of Government Efficiency initiative in February, calling for agency heads to “promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force (RIFs), consistent with applicable law.”
Armed Political Violence Catching Up to Rhetoric
https://grayzoneresearch.substack.com/p/armed-political-violence-catching
Last Friday, 04 July, law enforcement officers arrived at the Prairieland Detention Center, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Alvarado, Texas, to investigate a man armed with a gun. Roughly 8-10 individuals launched fireworks and vandalized the facility. Authorities say multiple gunmen then opened fire on an arriving police officer, wounding him. Police later arrested 10 suspects, some with body armor. The District Attorney’s Office described the event as a coordinated ambush, with the fireworks seemingly “designed to draw ICE personnel outside the facility.”

Homeland Security ends mandatory shoe removal at airport screening
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Tuesday that travelers will no longer be required to remove their shoes when going through Transportation Security Administration security checkpoints at all airports across the U.S., ending the nearly two-decade mandate by the agency. Noem said the new policy is going into effect at all airports across the country…“There will be individuals at times that will be asked to remove their shoes, if we think there is additional layers of screening that is necessary that may still happen to an individual,”
DMV Officials Issued Driver’s Licenses for Cash. Why Will REAL ID Be Any Different?
In New York, several employees of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) were recently caught doing the one thing at which government drones seem efficient: corruptly profiting from their positions. They aren’t alone in selling driver’s licenses to ineligible customers; similar stories frequently appear around the country wherever public workers see a way to make a few bucks by providing official identification documents, often in fake names, to anybody with cash in hand. As common as the practice is, it’s an interesting commentary on the long-delayed recent introduction of REAL ID requirements, which are supposed to make us more secure.

Federal judge just dealt some bad news to Wisconsin judge who allegedly helped illegal alien evade ICE
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury in May on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of the law…U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph recommended on Monday that Dugan’s motion to dismiss be denied and torpedoed the Milwaukee judge’s arguments for dismissal one by one…”It is well-established and undisputed that judges have absolute immunity from civil lawsuits for monetary damages when engaging in judicial acts,” wrote Joseph. “This, however, is not a civil case. And review of the case law does not show an extension of this established doctrine to the criminal context.”…”Does judicial immunity shield Dugan from prosecution because the indictment alleges she violated federal criminal law while performing judicial duties? The answer is no,”…there is “no firmly established absolute judicial immunity barring criminal prosecution of judges for judicial acts.”
Above the law???

… when progressive Milwaukee Judge, County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan helped a man here illegally slip out the side door with hopes of dodging ICE like a rabbit outrunning a cheetah, those five very sacred words vanished. Suddenly, without a preamble, those five words were replaced by:”She was acting in her official capacity.”

First, It Was Barrett – Now Even Sotomayor Embarrasses Ketanji Brown Jackson with Her Opinion in SCOTUS Ruling
…Tuesday’s decision involved whether or not the executive could go through with the layoffs while the case percolated through the system. According to The Washington Post, the decision was 8-1 in favor of allowing the administration go through with the planned layoffs…In her one-woman dissent, Jackson said that Trump “sharply departed from that settled practice” by initiating the reduction in force and said the court, by authorizing the administration to go through with their plans, had allowed “all the harmful upheaval that edict entails, while the lower courts evaluate its lawfulness.”……………..
Ketanji Brown Jackson Did Something So Stupid That Even Sonia Sotomayor Couldn’t Let It Slide
In a move that I would have never predicted in a million years, aforementioned far-left Justice Sonia Sotomayor took Jackson to task for writing a dissent addressing a question that wasn’t even before the court.
