kinds. The Trump administration was disappointed with the results of previous operations and by being blocked by the courts from federalizing the National Guard, and, driven by/with the alibi of a racist xenophobic fraud panic, launched an unprecedentedly large and forceful Operation Metro Surge, which in turn provoked an unprecedentedly large and tactically varied anti-deportation movement, resulting in a dialectic of mutual provocation and escalation. The Twin Cities brought to a pinnacle the movement catalyzed in Los Angeles, where a tactical repertoire had coalesced, and then refined in Chicago. This includes most notably autonomous rapid response networks, neighborhood patrols, whistle swarming, de-arrests, mutual aid, and noise demonstrations. This pinnacle drew also on preexisting progressive and working-class organizations as well as the cultural memory of the 2020 rebellion. With
The movement that unfurled nationwide following DHS's paramilitary operations around Los Angeles, Chicago, the Twin Cities, and elsewhere, has for now halted the domestic political momentum of the Trump administration after culminating in DHS's defeat in Minnesota, illuminating impasses of both the Democratic party and extraparliamentary communists, to the advantage of social democrats (who will find impasses further down the road, too). The anti-deportation movement's watchwords and strategy have codified —ICE Out, community defense, and so on-as have the limits of the federal strategy with heritage in El Paso, as they both now wane with little else settled, inaugurating an interregnum within the greater interregnum.
PURISTS WILL OBJECT We have the looks you want: The gonzo (musculature seemingly wired to the stars), Colors like lead, khaki and pomegranate; things you Put in your hair, with the whole panoply of the past: Landscape embroidery, complete sets of this and that. It's bankruptcy, the human haul, The shining, bulging nets lifted out of the sea, and always a few refugees Dropping back into the no-longer-mirthful kingdom On the day someone sells an old house And someone else begins to add on to his: all In the interests of this pornographic masterpiece, Variegated, polluted skyscraper to which all gazes are drawn, Pleasure we cannot and will not escape. It seems we were going home. The smell of blossoming privet blanketed the narrow avenue. The traffic lights were green and aqueous. So this is the subterranean life. If it can't be conjugated onto us, what good is it? What need for purists when the demotic is built to last, To outlast us, and no dialect hears us?
Elle Bisgaard-Church, Mamdani’s chief of staff, attended the meeting with Trump, and said they discussed crime and safety in NYC, the appointment of NYPD Chief Tisch, the threat of ICE, and reaching an understanding on cooperation with ICE on “extreme violent felony cases.”

Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards. 30. So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. 31. Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. 32. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. 33. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain. 34. The five elements (water, fire, wood, metal, earth) are not always equally predominant; the four seasons make way for each other in turn. There are short days and long; the moon has its periods of waning and waxing.
Organizations that claim to be revolutionary but which refuse to develop a military policy before the question of confrontation becomes a practical reality, disqualify themselves as revolutionary forces. They are already acting as gravediggers of revolution, the quartermasters of stadiums and cemeteries.1
