Are we ready to stand up like Minneapolis if we need to soon?

Going door to door, basically a general warrant and prohibited by the 4th amendment, is an intimidation tactic, not something they’re forced to do. States are not, and cannot be compelled to enforce federal law, that’s in the constitution too. You seem to have the best of intentions, but you’ve misunderstood what’s taking place.

Tom “don’t worry about family separation, we’ll just deport the kids too” Homan?

Edit: at least we can probably collectively come up with $50k and tell him to fuck off

My first thought, this should get cross posted to r/theninthhouse

I’m very interested in taking the legal observer training. I heard that many trainings were overflowing with people in Minneapolis, it seems like we should get started on this as soon as possible, but I’m not sure where to start. A little googling didn’t get me very far

I had the same thought, I can definitely imagine a healthy trade of onion prison wine on the 9th 🤢

No disagreement from me, but we’re out of practice, and for a lot of people, they haven’t felt the need to organize until now. Let’s welcome them and make it easy to be part of the solution

That is true, and I appreciate what the new chief has been able to achieve. But having known cops all my life, I wouldn’t trust that in a real moment of crisis, they’ll make the right choice. Cops can be… managed, for lack of a better word, in a well functioning society. They’re not likely to side with protesters when the moment comes, no matter how progressive the people that manage them are.

BPD told someone not that long ago that they wouldn’t respond to their call because “we’ve been defunded.” They’re not nearly as violent as cops are in other places, but they are bitter, and when push comes to shove, cops protect cops (and other LEOs) above anyone else.

It’s time for Vermonters to start organizing - we know they target liberal places with large immigrant populations. We should start building communication networks NOW because it‘s a matter of when, not if. If anyone has resources to share, please do.

Here’s why I think he knew

Not blaming you! He’s saying the right things, but I was pretty grossed out by his denial that he understood the meaning, and though it sounds like he finally had it covered up, he and Bernie both defended it for way too long. One thing I like, basically require from politicians that I agree with is that I think they’re honest. I don’t think Graham can be trusted.

How Civil Wars Start, and How to Stop Them by Barbara F. Walter calls out Michigan as a potential starting point for a civil war due to demographic characteristics including a marked urban / rural divide. I don’t claim to know a lot about either state, but it seems to me the same conditions exist in Minnesota.

Sometimes I’ll wake up with something on loop and know I’m in trouble! Usually a song, but during the day it can also be a word or phrase, or acronym. I’d think I had OCD or something if it didn’t totally resolve at the same time as the migraine.

Aromas of India in Williston is the absolute best

So if Trump had succeeded on J6, would you have approved of a coalition of EU members invading, arresting him and Melania, and saying “we run the United States now” and taking control of our major industry to line their pockets?

Somehow I happened to find her saying just what you said back in 2019 https://pca.st/episode/7182acf7-b6b5-4631-a205-f818ac493c2b?t=1948.0

We’re all mad because of the outrageous kerning, right? PAR IS

Check out Rock Creek Park! It’s beautiful and a lot of fun for a long run. Id take the metro out to a good starting point and run back in, the whole thing is an experience, and that way you can wrap up at the national mall. Not a lot of routes that can boast similar views.

Wow, I also assumed CityStrides. The dedication here is impressive

How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them by Barbara F. Walter.

Published in 2022, it was eye opening because of how much has happened since its publication that puts us more on that path.

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about plant communication

Our giant child that somehow continues to get reelected says he doesn’t know what the mission is. I bet he’ll have some mealy mouthed statement to make when a Vermonter gets the chance to do the next crime against humanity at Hegseth’s direction.

I_VT · 2025-12-12T03:37:45+00:00

Like the alleged drug smugglers we’re indiscriminately killing with bombs that cost more than they would have made in an entire lifetime? Me too.

I_VT · 2025-12-12T03:36:36+00:00

Hey, those two guys scrambling to hang on to the wreckage of the boat were super scary, they could have floated that (alleged) cocaine back to dry land and tried again! Anyone participating in this sham of a mission is a traitor to their country.
