For the record,
something the Bulgarian communists said shortly after the communist regime in Bulgaria ended in 1989:
"We spilled blood to take power,
it will take spilling blood for us to relinquish power."¹
Might be a history's lesson in it for the US.

¹ Original Bulgarian:
"Тази власт с кръв сме я взимали,
с кръв ще я дадем."

While most #NationalGuard commands have fast-response teams for use within their home states, the proposal under evaluation by the #Trump admin would entail moving #troops from one state to another.
The National Guard tested the concept ahead of the #2020election, putting 600 troops on alert in Arizona & Alabama as the country braced for possible #PoliticalViolence [but still *somehow* weren’t called up on #Jan6 till too late].
Citing 'Emergency,' Trump Puts Washington, D.C. Police Under Federal Control and Deploys National Guard

Trump mentioned New York, Baltimore, and Oakland as other cities where he wants to put the police under federal control. “This will go further," he said.
#Texas state Rep. John Bucy III (D) blamed Republicans for the incident, saying in a post on X that their rhetoric has endangered the Democratic lawmakers. “This is what happens when Republican state leaders publicly call for us to be ‘hunted down,’” Bucy said. “Texas #Democrats won’t be intimidated.”
#Texas #Democrats evacuated from Illinois hotel over potential #BombThreat
“We are safe, we are secure, & we are undeterred,” said caucus leaders after police searched the hotel where some of the lawmakers who had fled
Texas to block the redrawing of the congressional map were staying.

Death Denial, Neoliberal Capitalism and the Human Conquest of Nature

examining these existential dynamics enduring influence on the modern human in the era of neoliberal modernity. The notions of transcendence, Prometheanism and human conceptions of time are also covered.
"I don’t necessarily see Idi Amin as an analogue for Donald Trump or any other of the many demagogues who now inflict themselves on our public stage. I do think, though, that in Amin’s successful efforts to renovate Ugandans’ sense of place and time, in his use of new media to shape people’s apprehensions of where they stood in history, and in his efforts to instrumentalise people’s resentment against racial and ethnic outsiders, there are lessons for us about how demagoguery works in our own place and time."
In January, then-acting Deputy #AttorneyGeneral #EmilBove ordered the firings of about 2 dozen prosecutors who had been hired for temporary assignments to support the #Jan6 cases, but were moved into permanent roles after #Trump’s presidential win in November. Bove said he would not “tolerate subversive personnel actions by the previous administration.”
During his time as interim #USattorney in #DC, #EdMartin in February demoted several prosecutors involved in the #Jan6 cases, including the attorney who served as chief of the Capitol Siege Section. Others demoted include 2 #lawyers who helped secure #SeditiousConspiracy convictions against #OathKeepers founder #StewartRhodes & former #ProudBoys national chairman #EnriqueTarrio.
Trump’s sweeping #pardons of #Jan6 insurgents have led to worries about actions being taken against #attorneys involved in the massive prosecution of the >1,500 #Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify President Joe #Biden’s election victory. Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of all of them on his first day back…, releasing from prison people convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy & #violent #assault on police.
A letter that was received by one of the prosecutors was signed by AG #PamBondi. The letter did not provide a reason for their removal, effective immediately, citing only “Article II of the United States Constitution & the laws of the United States,” acc/to a copy seen by the AP.

unleashing law enforcement on judges right when the judiciary just capitulated to him bigly. I don't know why this doesn't penetrate with the robed sages but he simply pockets every grant of unchecked power & is only emboldened to pursue more abuses."
