Some of the armed men look like (if not equal in capability/training) to US mil soldiers with matching gears...I saw a few folks with PAGST style ballistic helmets...with AR-15 slinging down. Amazing...I think 6 died over the weekend during clashes at Charleston, NC & somewhere in Virginia.

^^ a subset are ex armymen in these militias. a subset of police are also ex army. i think civilian AR15 have the auto/semi auto mode removed and are supposed to be 1-shot mode only, but there are DIY types who know how to restore and heavily modify these things incl complete tool shops to make needed parts...now maybe even 3d printed
a potent mix of guns rights, nativism, mistrust of big govt, white race theory, immigrant phobia, economic stagnation and inability of govt to pay off angry farmers and ranchers with more subsidies is playing into these movements.

Since May, people who have been convicted of a crime in Sparta, Tennessee, can reduce the length of their sentence on one condition: They must agree to be sterilized.
“I hope to encourage them to take personal responsibility,” said Judge Sam Benningfield, who approved the program.
In the two months since the policy went into effect, 32 women have received a birth control implant called Nexplannon, and 38 men are waiting to have a vasectomy.
Whether Benningfield knows it or not, the people he is sterilizing in the White County jail are merely the latest in a long line of incarcerated and low-income people to be sterilized under coercion or force by the criminal or social welfare systems in the United States.
In 1907, Indiana became the first state to pass a law allowing for compulsory sterilization of “confirmed criminals” and “idiots.” Thirty-one states soon followed suit.
In 1972, we sued on behalf of two young sisters who were sterilized in 1972 without their consent in Alabama. Sterilization laws began to be dismantled during that era, but eugenics practices have continued around the country. In California, for example, nearly 150 female prisoners underwent tubal ligations without their lawful consent between 2004 and 2013.
America is not the only country to forcibly sterilize its citizens in the 21st century. In Europe, if a transgender person wanted to change their name or gender on government-issued documents, nearly two dozen countries mandated their sterilization until April of this year, when the European Court of Human Rights ruled that requirement to be an institutionalized violation of human rights.
But that victory for transgender rights came only after a sustained campaign by the hate group Alliance Defending Freedom to try to keep the sterilization requirement.
“Equal dignity does not mean that every sexual orientation warrants equal respect,” wrote ADF International in an intervention brief.
Obviously, we disagree. But ADF’s efforts to see a continued policy of mandated sterilization of transgender people are in keeping with its support of the fraudulent practice of gay-to-straight conversion therapy and the argument of its first president, Alan Sears, that pedophilia and homosexuality are "intrinsically linked" (a dangerous falsehood long propagated by anti-LGBT hate groups).
Such stances are why we named Alliance Defending Freedom a hate group — and why, as David Perry writes of incarcerated people for The Marshall Project, “No one should be compelled to trade their reproductive freedom for corporal freedom.”
We’ll keep fighting for the rights of transgender and incarcerated people alike.
The Editors.

Something tells me the fed judges are not going to be terribly pleased at the POTUSian pardon. If he continues the contempt would it be double jeopardy to slap him in jail again I wonder. Or maybe put him in a lockup where the guards are not his admirers....
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration plans to reinstate in full a program that provides local police departments with military surplus equipment such as large-caliber weapons and grenade launchers, according to a document obtained by The New York Times.

they are a motley coalition of various tribes and causes ranging from environment, race, political philosophy , globalization , lgbt ....
they are fairly brutal in using violence like the commies in india and skilled in using the media & academia to their advantage. the US RW fringe comes across as heavily armed but hamhanded and clumsy with little ability to get support from the core urban upper middle class white population.

So in this war, those who are more brutal and who has MSM in their side will win? I think so. As of today, almost all major universities are leftee controlled which will put our JNU to shame. Most of the MSM is left. GOP fellows are either EJ or racist loonies or wimps at best. I do not see them taking of the Antifa fellows anytime soon. They do not have any support in MSM and the SM at best is a guerrilla force if used effectively and not a large standing army.
Soon we may be welcoming the new socialist republic of United States.

Zakharova slams searches at Russian diplomatic facilities in US as 'buffoonery’

Vindictive abuse of PC-ness by the gori scofflaw. Must have been a New Yorker. The officer was clearly kidding - self-deprecating humor is a southern tradition. Racism is a NATIONAL tradition.
