In his active attempt to step up from a creeping #coldcivilwar to a hot #civilwar, this is his first choice?
What, did he roll D&D dice to see which iconic liberal town gets the dishonor of bearing up to his struggle to make #antifascism criminal?
Cheers, #Seattle, #Chicago, #Oakland, #Boston...
(personal suggestion: don't disrupt any Thorns games, then hell to pay for sure, King Knucklhead)

The #ColdCivilWar is ongoing in U.S. states. Tennessee is seeking jail local lawmakers who vote to make their municipalities sanctuaries for immigrants. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/12/tennessee-immigration-policies

I do like the term, #ColdCivilWar, that's been raging in the #US for years, or rather decades (since the initial civil-rights legislation. It now has a, hopefully final, climax culminating in the nonbelligerent #TrumpCoup.
It might still come to this, though:

#USA #GOP #ConstitutionalHardball #ColdCivilWar: "The GOP's game is called "constitutional hardball." Think: Mitch McConnell refusing to hold confirmation hearings on Obama's federal judiciary appointments, not never for Merrick Garland's Supreme Court seat – then filling the Federal judiciary with the least-qualified, most FedSoc-addled lunatics in US history, all for lifetime appointments.
As bad as this is at the federal level, it's even worse at in the states, especially the Republican "trifecta" states where the GOP holds the governorship and the state house and senate, where shameless gerrymandering and legislative attacks on hard-won ballot measures are the order of the day. GOP-held state governments engage in rampant interstate aggression, targeting out-of-state abortion providers, publishers, and journalists.
This is a one-sided Cold Civil War, because state Dems, for the most part, are unwilling to play hardball in return (the closest they come is when, say, California sets strict emissions controls and manufacturers adopt them nationwide, rather than making special cars for the giant California market). Republicans engage in constitutional hardball and Dems refuse to fight back, a phenomenon called "asymmetrical constitutional hardball":"

Here's a crazy story:
#Florida plans to invalidate the drivers licenses and ticket those who drive through Florida with licenses from several states, including: Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, and Hawaii.
Though ostensibly an immigration law, what this really does is destroy consistent travel rights across the US. A clear violation of the commerce clause. And the RealID Act as well.
This is #coldcivilwar stuff.

Today, TRUMP/MAGA banners are the 21st century’s Confederate flags.
Tomorrow, they’ll be its Nazi swastikas, unless the GOP’s push to supplant pluralistic U.S. democracy — and replace it with a White, “Christian” oligarchy or dictatorship — is arrested.We must, “to the best of [our] ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
