Washington Post reports another wave of trans folks buying firearms for the first time due to the election of genocidal dictator Donald Trump.
Other outlets have been reporting since November that members of the entire LGBTQ community have been arming fast for defense given the uncertain dangers ahead.
The main concern is bigots on the street, empowered by the knowledge that they will never be prosecuted by any arm of government Trump has any say over. "Civil unrest" has also been cited as a reason for getting armed and trained.
The Pink Pistols are right: armed Gays (and trans folks) don't get bashed!
India Today reports the Pink Pistols and SRA are doing especially well

These groups have had to schedule additional training classes due to the huge demand. It seems most of the new gun buyers understand very well that a gun you've never shot before is all but useless in a fight. Same as in any army: it's not just the weapons, its the training that makes the difference.

That handed us the initiative and an opportunity to grow the movement. Trump's National Guard/Insurrection Act threats scared a lot of less radical people (our civilian backbone) off the streets.
The Uprising detonated in 2020 after the cops followed months of exploiting covid rules to order Black people off the streets with an especially brutal murder. An ICE raid that blows up into a gun battle and kills migrants could easily detonate the current situation into another nationwide uprising.
If Trump met that with troops and live ammunition civil war would result. If he blinked again or was forced to by cooler heads around him, the rest of the year would look a lot like 2020. In the latter scenario, Trump probably does not succeed in becoming more powerful than just another US President and his entire agenda may stall and crash. If he gets to 2028 without dying of old age in that scenario, he would have little chance of becoming President for Life/King/Emperor. He no longer has to worry about going to prison, removing one motivation to fight to the bitter end.
We may yet get peace (well, relative peace with rioting but no actual warfare) but cannot drop our guard against #civilwar yet.

LA ALERT!
An ICE memo has been leaked threatening major raids in Los Angeles sometime this month.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14377927/leaked-ice-memo-migrant-crackdown-major-city-immigration-raids.html
Since this is now public knowledge like Chicago was for Jan 21, the raids might have to be cancelled to avoid charging into an ambush as the whole city sets up on them. One of the most difficult of all military or police operations is to attack a target when and where you are expected, with advance warning.
Trump's attorney gender Pam Bondi is screeching about this, bellowing threats against the leaker if they are ever found, and whining about ICE agents lives being in danger.

May their next raid target the crater of an erupting volcano! If they go into LA now, a volcano of resistance presumably awaits them. FUCK Trump, FUCK Musk, FUCK ICE!

This is a MAJOR heads-up if ICE is raiding business like 1968 NYC vice cops in a Gay bar. It is possible history will record that the 2nd US civil war began in Newark on January 23 in Newark, New Jersey. This raid is an act of war against us, and a huge wake-up call.
We need to have rapid reaction teams ready in every city, and an observation network dense enough to detect any further raids in realtime. This is probably what scared them out of starting in Chicago, now we need it everywhere.
Whether you are Latino or not, documented or not, this means you are exposed to the risk of being kidnapped or even shot by armed gang members (ICE is the gang) in every place you go.
Too bad the Mayor of Newark didn't have the guts to order his city cops to put on their heavy raid armor, get their rifles from their stations or cars, and protect his constituants from ICE's armed Nazi stormtroopers.
This IS in fact going to force states (most likely California) to secede from the United States to protect their residents from ICE. That's why this sort of thing could literally lead to a hot, armed, state on state/state vs feds civil war. Real armies, real war, real death and economic collapse. This is how it starts.
The expected rules of engagement between the government and residents have been used to wipe Trump's ass and flushed down the toilet. Civil peace goes down in the next flush.
We have reports in corporate media that Trump's Department of Injustice is now threatening state and local officials who don't cooperate with his anti-migrant pogrom with prosecution.
This doesn't just mean trying to arrest ICE agents for their crimes, it presumably means any failure to allow ICE to fish in jails and courthouses, to trespass them from public schools, anythihg.
Presumably such prosecutions would be for obstruction. Obstructing INJUSTICE however is a DUTY not an offense, opening the door to jury nullification.
Beyond that, this has the potential for open-ended state on state or state vs Federal escalation. A problem for resisting states will be that they cannot trust their police or National Guard troops not to treasonously turn on them and side with Trump if they seek to physically resist Federal arrest of their officials for standing up to Naziism.
If the Federal government is trying to cooerce states to participate in criminal acts such as pogroms, this could force states that are serious about protecting people to secede from the Union. Trump would probably meet this with invasion. Given the doubtful loyalty of existing police and National Guard troops, such states may have to raise new armies of reliable but hastily-trained fighters. Politicans could resign instead, but that protects nobody but themselves.
Thus, we see this threat by DOJ has the potential to escalate all the way to state on state civil war.

Reposting as I originally created this in November
Synposis:
1: Trump promises a "Unified Reich in America" at Madison Square garden pro-election rally that drew widespread comparisons to 1939 Nazi rally same venue
2: Trump promises Christians they won't have to vote anymore
3: Roadside arrest for abortion travel by a stereotypical Southern Sheriff's deputy
4:Guerilla warfare training scenes from the 2012 remake of Red Dawn. If you think this is over the top (I wish to hell it was) remember that Trump has repeatedly threatened to use the military on peaceful protesters.

There is the possibility that the UHC CEO execution was in fact the first shot of the Second Civil War. If rhis is so and more CEO's get taken out, this is not the civil war Trump has been preparing to fight.
CEO's and billionaires being hunted down in the streets as tens of millions cheer is a totally different alignment of forces than the racial and religious war Trump had in mind.
While this incident may have been a one-off, there's no guarantee of that and the wave of support the shooter has earned make follow-up actions more likely. If that happens the moment becomes a movement.

Heads up! Trump is apparently considering FL Governor DeSantis, a notorious anti-LGBTQ and anti-migrant bigot as secretary of Defense.
Combining this appointment with the use of the military to round up migrants, hunt familes of trans kids, and suppress dissent could mean we are in for a very nasty civil war.
