… properly shuts up …

I don’t know what you’re trying to prove here

My prediction: Assuming this judge properly shuts up and lawyers up, this case quietly fizzles after a while

I can tell you’ve got a very analytical mind, and you’re probably NeuroDiverse like all the rest of us here, but I think you’re wrong. The local judge is not gonna go down silently and neither should anyone in that God forsaken 50 state country.

These are all carefully orchestrated steps. Something they can misconstrue later and make sure people support the suspension of the judiciary, and the invoking of Martial law.

Update: she was released. But it sent a clear message of where we are

Judges Are Slowing Down Trump’s Fascist Deportation Regime. Now He’s Arresting Them For It.

The FBI arrested a sitting judge in a Milwaukee County court in Wisconsin on Friday, claiming that she obstructed immigration enforcement agents from detaining an undocumented immigrant in her courtroom.

Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan’s arrest is not only the latest escalation in Donald Trump’s fascist deportation program, it also marks the administration’s eagerness to take aim at any and all constraints on its power to act.

“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse,” FBI director Kash Patel in a post on X. Patel added that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents “chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since.”

In the absence of opposition party challenges and disempowered labor, courts are one of the few sites of meaningful pushback on Trump’s agenda.

Less and less land of the free, more and more home of the brave.

It’s over boys. It’s second amendment or nothing now.

Thankfully there won’t be fair elections by then, but still that video is some low level of infighting instigation

Man, these zionist sympathisers really all coming out of the woodwork all because some silly book is making them believe this is the end times. Worse than the MAGA cult.

Not just the bbc. ABC USA was equally horrible. “There’s thousands”, cut to live reporter after rally is over on empty grass. Show almost no shots of actual mass in the report. A lot of Americans don’t realise how loyal most corporations are to this regime. Their job is not to tell you the truth, it’s is to control you for the benefit of the regime.

Mind you if you do the same again on Saturday, and keep growing, this is just a stop gap measure, and eventually protesters tend to walk into tv studios with hot cameras ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s often better to get an international sources. ABC Australia, used drone and chopper shots and was overall a lot less biased in their reporting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6q8b2FfoqY&pp=0gcJCa8AFFPMqEg1

WHAT IS A GENERAL STRIKE?

A GENERAL STRIKE IS WHEN WORKING PEOPLE REFUSE THEIR LABOR UNTIL DEMANDS ARE MET • RESEARCH SHOWS WE NEED 3.5% OF THE POPULATION, OR 11 MILLION AMERICANS, TO BE SUCCESSFUL • THE STRIKE CARD BELOW TRACKS OUR PROGRESS SO WE ALL KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO STRIKE •

WHY ARE WE STRIKING?

WE’VE VOTED, WE’VE PROTESTED, AND STILL, THEY IGNORE US. OUR GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO MEET OUR BASIC NEEDS WHILE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS HOARDS WEALTH AND POWER. WE CAN’T AFFORD TO WAIT ANY LONGER. OUR LABOR IS OUR GREATEST STRENGTH AND IF WE STRIKE TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE REAL CHANGE.

Summary

Federal workers who voted for Trump in 2024 are facing unexpected job losses as the administration implements massive workforce cuts.

Michael Graugnard, an attorney advisor at USDA, was laid off three months into his role despite managerial assurances. While he supports "government efficiency," he didn't anticipate this implementation but doesn't regret his vote.

Similarly, IRS veteran James Diaz criticizes the administration's "chainsaw" approach to cuts. However, others like Ryleigh Cooper, who voted for Trump's IVF promises, now regret their decision after losing her Forest Service job.

The layoffs are part of Trump and Musk's plan that has terminated thousands of federal workers and convinced 77,000 others to resign.
