Don't know if what I'm feeling is grounded in reality since I just had a particularly productive therapy session but I think I was feeling this beforehand too when I was scrolling this morning.
From what I'm seeing in the shift in posture, Stephen Miller blew his load and I assume Capital is getting antsy and is trying to cut off the Infinite Vice-Signal Machine. In a dark way, Alex Pretti was the perfect victim for the American public, and his execution was so blatantly appalling that it seems that that, alongside the general strike, is shocking the bourgeoisie into realignment with social liberalism for the first time since 2025's "mandate".
If it is the case that the leash is being pulled, expect to see the internal contradictions between the accelerationist cadre (ICE, Miller, Noem, Bovino, Thiel) and the thermostatics (Trump, Cruz, Vance) start to heighten. (EDIT: it, at least rhetorically, begins) The state-integrated Proud Boys and Oathkeepers on the ground are going to try to hit the gas on the tension pedal now that the leash for Unlimited GTA LARP might be tugged. They want to provoke the race war as much as they possibly can before the party ends. Miller, if competent, will take an L, fall into the background, and bide his time until we approach US midterms for another ramping up of domestic repression. They seem to want to make Noem and/or Bovino the fall guys for this, though I'd laugh if they somehow take Miller down with them.
If you are in the USA and my vibe meter holds (meaning the admin takes the L on this and retreats), you should be operating as if this is an armistice that will last, reasonably, at most until midterm elections. Even if they fold on their aura-farming about 'canceling the elections', treat it like they won't and immediately seek to organize with cool people within your area. gather the tools, strategies and general means to defend against and disrupt militant repression.
If I'm wrong (the admin doubles down), then we are truly in the Decades Week, agitate as much as possible to the laymen and rally for shows of worker power, as well as linking up with your local socialists and workers, of course. The former path's goals are worthwhile too if you and your comrades can muster them in time.
The best time to get offline and talk to the people in your area was when you first gained political consciousness. The second best time is now.
I think the small strategic retreat that is ongoing should be celebrated, especially in light of the general strike likely being the deciding factor.
That being said, this is still just a small pause and you should anticipate this violence coming to your neighborhood. Not much other than just "organize", and learn resistance tactics including those that MN has used. Try to identify any neighbors that share your thoughts and values. You can't get as organized as Twin Cities has gotten right away, but you can be ready to hit the ground running when ICE does come to your neighborhood. Lean into normie orgs you are a part of, like PTA, your union, your religious community, hell even hobbies groups. They will all be allies when shit hits the fan.
Just remember that this small victory should be seen the same as a small victory for Palestinians, and the admin and HSI especially are always going to behave like the IDF
