Shop NYC Top

The Administration has arrived at a clear formula:

Stoke up anger & resentment via highly provocative and indiscriminate ICE arrests (eg outside home depot)

Use ICE protests as justitifcation for violent responses, yielding more protests

Escalate, pick fights with local officials and state government, send in increasingly significant troops

Basically, thrive on provoking chaos to build up the case for normalized domestic use of the military

It is “working” — if that’s the word – in California. It seems it could be coming here. It seems unclear what local officials or citizens can do about it.

Or do we think New York is different ? Perhaps it is harder to provoke a violent protest here — hard to say
