Proud of my city, but also 100% expecting this place to be specifically targeted by the Feds and conservative militias at some point.

Absolutely. I'm a bit of a ways outside the city and waiting for the day the raids hit in full force here for anyone who doesn't align with fascists.

I remember when the proud boys marched around back bay and Copley a few years ago. (In-uniform) cops were nowhere to be seen, though I suspect some were there “undercover”.

Honestly wouldn’t be entirely shocked if NSC131 gets deputized and starts terrorizing parts of the city and inciting violent conflicts (and intentionally creating a positive feedback loop there) once the whole Insurrection Act shit gets rolling.
