    Are we ready for Lexington and Concord? Because anyone who’s still clinging to the hope peaceful protesting will hold off martial law all the way to the election in November is about to get their fingers stomped on by ICE

      By that time the “minute men” were already a fairly well armed and organized militia, as far as militias go. I see no viable parallel today, even in nascent form.

      Any armed group greater than around four people is compromised by federal law enforcement, the far right learned this decades ago.

        Tell that to the Black Panthers who are actually being quite effective in their communities right now. There are a few videos of Black Panthers Philly that are pretty interesting recently. They should make every American proud. Standing up for not only their own rights but their communities rights.
