At Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall has more must-read context re the invasion of American cities by Trump's militarized, brutal, and (so far) unaccountable forces.

They are military in every way but what the government calls them. This has profound implications.

@dangillmor They may look and smell "military" but they are not under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and they appear essentially immune to normal civil and criminal laws due to defenses and exclusions created by SCOTUS.
