State of the Anti-Trump Resistance Movement and the Burgeoning Color Revolution
https://grayzoneresearch.
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.

Prairieland Detention Center Ambush Storyboard

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.

Supreme Court Hands Trump a Major Win
https://www.westernjournal.
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.
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
https://abcnews.go.com/
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?
https://reason.com/2025/07/09/
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 weren’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
https://www.theblaze.com/news/
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???

First, It Was Barrett – Now Even Sotomayor Embarrasses Ketanji Brown Jackson with Her Opinion in SCOTUS Ruling
https://www.westernjournal.
…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.”……………..

Do They Deserve It? Mexico Is Collapsing As The US Deports Illegals Back Home
https://www.zerohedge.com/
Oh, the delicious irony. For many years I’ve been writing about the southern US border and the many ways in which Mexico has used it as a “steam valve” to get rid of people in perpetual poverty, as well as malcontents, violent criminals and political revolutionaries. Who could have foreseen a time when the conundrum would be reversed and Mexico would be crushed by an avalanche of its own unwanted citizens? But weren’t we told that migrants are an “economic boon” to any country lucky enough to have them? The argument among progressives and open border activists has always been that migrants are average law abiding people (just like us) who slip across the border simply to integrate into our society and live the American dream. They claim that Mexican leaders are not in control of the situation and that people are desperate to escape crime and social decline. In reality, government officials have long encouraged migrant caravans to traverse their territories and they have allowed illegal immigration into the US as a means to divert their failures into the laps of American taxpayers. Migrants aren’t trying to escape problems in Mexico, they ARE the problem in Mexico. The more of these caravans the Mexican authorities can get rid of, the better their economic situation appears…Riots in Mexico city are breaking out and they are growing more violent by the day. Residents blame “gringo immigrants” and “digital nomads” for moving into the country and driving up food and housing costs. They also complain that white visitors are allowed to stay on their visas for far too long and that they refuse to “learn their language or respect Mexican culture”. Gee, that sure sounds familiar. Has Mexico gone MAGA? The irony is, of course, that conservative Americans have been warning about the same issues caused by migrants from Mexico and we have been called “racists” and “fascists” for doing so. There are approximately 700,000 US citizens residing in Mexico today, a tiny number compared to the tens of millions of Mexican migrants in the US illegally. But somehow, gringos are to blame for rising prices?
Deep Staters On Edge As DOGE’s DoD Strike Team Hits Pentagon With Sweeping Contract Cuts
https://www.zerohedge.com/
The U.S. Department of Defense has failed every single financial audit since audits began in fiscal year 2018. Despite commanding the largest budget of any federal agency—nearly $850 billion annually—the Pentagon still can’t account for large swaths of its spending. Over the years, trillions have been flagged as “unaccounted for,” fueling speculation around off-the-books operations that taxpayers are kept in the dark about. Even the Government Accountability Office recently warned that the DoD may not meet its target for a clean audit until at least 2028. On Monday, a team of Goldman analysts led by Noah Poponak told clients that the team of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at DoD is quietly ramping up contract cancellations. Yes, the DoD—the mecca for bloated budgets and opaque spending—is now the target of DOGE’s slash-and-burn operations. That news alone might have Deep Staters and their Beltway contractor buddies on edge through summer.
Saudi Arabia Keeps Executing Foreigners On Drug Charges At ‘Horrifying’ Rate
https://www.zerohedge.com/
The kingdom executed 1,816 people between January 2014 and June 2025, according to the official Saudi Press Agency. Of those, nearly one third (597) were for drug-related offences, which may not be punishable by death under international human rights law and norms. Around three quarters of those executed for drug offences were foreign nationals.

the most important idea in current politics

this post was too long for email and will arrive truncated. please click the title to read online or use the app
at core, modern politics has little to do with genuine sentiment or ideology. when one really boils it down, it’s all moneyball: how do i most cheaply acquire “on base” (getting elected) and runs (getting control) to put up wins (welding influence). and like billy bean before him, soros has been a pioneer in this, playing the political establishment over and over by finding unlikely avenues of highly affordable influence like NGO’s, prosecutors, AG’s and similar means of acquiring massive and effective influence on the cheap…the riddles are straightforward:
– why does the “progressive” left keep championing only the worst and most dissolute villains among us?
– why are they voting for the most divisive and intellectually and morally bankrupt frauds and communists, race war hucksters, and the “gimmie dat” grievance-obsessed?
– why are these candidates winning despite the clear fact that they are promising to attack the very people who are voting for them?
– how can a movement like that succeed? (at least electorally, obviously once in power, it’s a different story)
well, i have a theory and my theory is this:…………………….
I’m Sold! Alligator Alcatraz Detainee Describes Mosquitos ‘the Size of Elephants’
https://redstate.com/
. Now, at Alligator Alcatraz, an alleged violent felon and soon-to-be deported detainee is claiming, among other things, that the mosquitoes are “the size of elephants,” that the food has worms, and that the lights never go off. You’ll note in the clip that they quote him with his outlandish claims, then move on to his girlfriend, who tells the reporter that he’s a permanent resident, and he was arrested last week. …The tatted-up detainee (I couldn’t make out his name when the reporter said it) was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Apparently, a man trying to repossess a jet-ski was assaulted by the bottle blonde-haired AA resident, who apparently pulled a deadly weapon on the repossessor. ICE picked him up, and now he is complaining about the food and bugs. Maybe he should mount Dumbo the Mosquito and make his escape overland?

‘Dereliction of duty’: DEI-obsessed fire chief on hot seat following deadly Texas flooding

…The Austin Firefighters Association did not mince words when sharing its views regarding the flood response from Fire Chief Joel Baker. In a Facebook message posted Monday, the AFA claimed that except for three rescue swimmers, Baker deliberately “DENIED the deployment of Austin firefighters to Kerrville until very late into the event.”…The “disgusted” AFA described Baker’s alleged decisions during the flooding as “unforgivable” and an “egregious” and “disgraceful dereliction of duty.”…A June 6 email from Andre Jordan, division chief of special operations and homeland security for the city of Austin, and distributed to various fire staff stated that the Austin Fire Department had “suspended deployments” to the fire academy and through the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System until October 1, citing a city “budget crisis” of some $800,000 due mainly to missing reimbursements from the state…”The City wants to make sure this money is reimbursed before the end of the fiscal year, and does not want to be in a situation where additional money is expended on deployments and is not recouped before the end of the fiscal year,”
