What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.
The left today is a Maoist version of the Ku Klux Klan.

Do these Anti Government Liberal militias meet somewhere? It's not a diner.
It's gotta be something a bit more out of reach for middle class people, and a vast majority of white clientele.
Cause that's what the Sheeples self segregate themselves into.
Don't worry, this will all be ok. The political tide is turning (thankfully) against ICE.
But the shit done to your "democracy" and the punishment before, during, and. yet to come.....
Splendid.
Signed, a fella who compromised many times - but never got 1% from the Sheeple.
Punishment is now permanent. It's just wish the violence wasn't directed at illegals or ICE but rather..... the 20%'ers like in Sweden.

You seem to be confused about who is being beaten, trappled, pepper-sprayed directly in the face, tear gassed, is having their car windows shattered to be dragged out, having their front doors broken down and dragged outside in zero degree temperatures in their underwear, having their 5-year-olds used as bait, and being executed on American streets and sidewalks.

I'm basically done discussing this with the left. There's nothing to say; they're all behind this kind of thing:
I’ve never experienced anything quite like today in my life. I’ve interacted with the Cartel and have witnessed some crazy things in the desert in ‘24. But what strikes me is how organized these agitators in Minneapolis are. They have spotters everywhere in the city and suburbs, on street corners, even 30 minutes away from downtown. They have people at hotels that work with them and signal to them which made it making it difficult for us to lose our tail once my cover was blown. Usually I lose a tail. Not this time. We switched locations THREE times. I recorded and posted this while leaving Wayzata, while they were STILL surveilling. We all agreed we must make the threats public ASAP, even if we had people still in the field with the hidden cams.
Earlier around noon, while @camhigby released his report on the Signal threads, I was inside what appeared to be a fully autonomous Zone. No police presence. The police were told to leave. I identified myself as Press and they said they will kill Press and will not let me leave. My skin was fully covered because it was so cold. But because they couldn’t verify who I was, they screamed and started throwing ice bottles at us. One hit, @SKRUCHTENMMA, a marine who was with me. They patted him down like THEY were the authorities, attempting to confiscate any weapons. They were set to destroy our vehicle before we even got to it. I will have a full video report shortly. That's from James O'Keefe.
This is how terrorists operate.

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops--both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations--I've seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.
What's unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn't "protest." It's low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who've clearly studied the playbook.
Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction--or worse.
This isn't spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace "ICE agents" with "occupying coalition forces" and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.
The most sobering part? It's domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they're trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers--complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that's already turned lethal--you're no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You're facing a distributed resistance that's learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.
I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.
Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don't de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they're winning the information war.
We either recognize what we're actually looking at--or we pretend it's still just "activism" until the structures harden and spread.
Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn't January 2026 politics anymore.
It's phase one of something we've spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

Yes the ones out in the street are absolutely bonkers/mentally ill/sociopaths/psychopaths. (Didn't one of these a-holes bite a finger off an ICE officer? Or so I heard.)
You have to be insane to want to get into fights with LEOs in subzero freezing cold.
Like I have said other times, normal people have jobs/families/elderly parents/school/etc. i.e., "responsibilities."
Who the Eff other than the extremely privileged has time to commit riot and insurrection except a complete nut case?
(Or of course a paid agent provacateur.)
Who the EFF is shoveling out these crazy peoples' driveways and stuff like that? Not themselves.
In any event the keyboard warriors are part of the nihilistic anarchistic leftist infrastructure. They sit safe on their cozy fat butts behind their keyboards lamely trying to debate with Dope1 and LurkerMom--and losing every time--but they are encouraging and enabling the nut jobs who are out on the streets.
Just like the cynical politicans in the Dem Party.
What's the end game here? Democrats want total control of Minneapolis (which they already have). Great. It's going to wind up a bigger waste land than Detroit. A bigger waste land than the Forbidden Zone in Planet of the Apes.

You wake up and suddenly realize the protestors are organizing themselves, communicating with one another and sending out warnings about where ICE was striking next, and you wonder what communist cabal taught them such skillz?
I’m sure the British wondered the same when they discovered they’d been outfoxed by colonists who hung lanterns in the steeple of Boston’s Old North Church. Where did they get these skillz?.
Pamphlets appearing, educational, subversive
pamphlets appearing, written by the likes of Thomas Payne “On Tyranny”.
Organizing to resist tyranny is in Our DNA, Dope- as American as Paul Revere and apple pie.
B-but those whistles! They blow them whenever ICE shows up. Yup, they certainly do…. And they borrowed that one from neighborhood watch programs like Whistle Stop, that was active in Chicago during the seventies when I was there.
If you were outside and saw a mugging or other crime, and you were a safe distance away, you blew your whistle. If you were inside and heard a whistle, you called the police and then went into the street.
I once heard a whistle, raced down the stairs, and into the street, and found dozens, literally dozens of my neighbors also in the street, some carrying baseball bats.
That poor criminal who attempted to mug a woman was never so glad as when the police showed up to escort him from the dead end alleyway in which we’d trapped him.
The technique is easily translated into a program of blowing your whistle when you see an ICE truck. At the last meeting I went to a week ago, they passed out whistles…
Ah- but all those fancy skillz, electronic comms etc etc. where did they come from?
There are protest movements all over the world, including some that you most likely support. You don’t think Americans can’t learn from them?
Since Dawes & Revere- American as apple pie- that old “can-do” spirit of intelligence, community, independence and adaptability- qualities that made this country great.
On display as America organizes to oppose the depredations of ICE.
