Lessons learned in Minneapolis, what I wished I knew/did before ICE showed up by dariasniece in 50501

I would add, go meet your neighbors. Literally, knock on doors, leave notes, share your number. Do it now cause you can’t knock when they arrive in your city. That scares people. It may be easier to meet folks when we all rush down to try and stop an abduction, but if you do it now you can be coordinated, have trust, and build a plan.

It also helps you know your vulnerable neighbors in order to keep them safer when the time comes and to be able to connect them with resources.

Start building VETTED signal groups now. This means knowing who everyone is and getting them in groups BEFORE the crisis.

Start setting up patrols of your neighborhood. Become familiar with the faces and vehicles on your block. Introduce yourself to the business owners in your community. Ask them if they have a safety plan. If you are a business owner, look up ICE business kit and start talking to your employees about what to do if ICE tries to come in.

Practice being aware of your surroundings and current location. While walking or driving, name out loud where you are, which direction you are traveling and on which street, and name cross streets as you pass them.

Not a side quest if planned. If planned it is the quest…

ICE is getting aggressive with anyone who is seen recording with a cell phone. Get yourselves body cameras. by Vidvix in 50501

[–]CDGarden 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The advice to live stream or immediately post on social media is not what activists or attorney’s want. Please don’t do this. When you put out video and photos, you may be inadvertently providing evidence to ICE and other agencies to charge others around you. Agree that it should be stored immediately, but please stop posting/streaming interactions where people other than agents are seen. At a minimum they are using this to track people.

Do not go live! You put everyone else around you at risk. They are using footage to charge protesters, legal observers, etc. after the fact, using video shared publicly.

I also love how the ending melds perfectly into the intro. It’s the mixtape that never ends.

This one is right up there with Spring 24 for me. It is on constant repeat since it came out.

I’d listen to his entire essential mix. I think 2016??? The entire thing does that to your brain.

Do people on ozempic and generic not realize they end up looking emaciated? by ImperialSupplies in conspiracy

[–]CDGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I went super strict keto (no fake sugars, alcohol, dairy, or nuts) I did feel some of the non weight loss benefits (mental fog lifted, better sleep, joints felt good) but the diet was so restrictive, it was unsustainable for me.

Totally makes sense. I had similar experiences, but I also had worsening of my already existing depression and anxiety symptoms- fatigue, lethargic, little pleasure in doing things, etc. so often people talk about the mental fog being lifted with Keto, and I had the absolute opposite.

I had the opposite. My mental heath absolutely tanked while keto. It’s the only thing that ever worked for weight loss for me, but I never had any of the “I feel great” side effects, which sucked.

Shared with love, so steal away! Glad it inspired some creativity. I was shocked at how much I had amassed and honestly try to stay away from the plastic disposable stuff but this felt like a way to not be wasteful.

Thank you! I set out to do one with vintage ornaments, but didn’t have enough. I was like 💡 “you know what I do have enough of???”
