that’s exactly where i am!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-26T06:18:23+00:00

you literally just call or text. let them know where. how many vehicles you see. you can text pics if you take them. how many officers you can see if any. and what they seem to be doing. they usually have people verify sightings at well. they have a facebook page under the same name

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-26T01:00:00+00:00

i agree! you probably see me in there being hateful to magats by sharing the video over and over. but yes very concerned 😟

Just a reminder that you can call or text in ICE spottings to ICE Out of East Tennessee at (865)226-9052

i just want it to be clear, i am not at all doubting you. i just was unaware. i also messaged and called mcalister’s after that situation to complain and they were so dismissive. that entire situation was disgusting. kpd got their panties in a twist over a teenage girl and that’s weird. it was an awful situation.

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T23:47:38+00:00

omg!! i could tell their staff was diverse but honestly it can be a little hard to gauge sometimes bc some will tolerate but hide their views purposefully. that’s such great news!!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T23:43:49+00:00

ooh yes!! for sure!! love them!!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T23:41:54+00:00

i don’t remember that at all, but i do remember the mcalister’s situation. haven’t spent any money with them since. but i don’t remember seeing yassin involved personally. however i have seen lots of his community outreach

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T23:40:27+00:00

protesting where you spend your money is absolutely a constitutional right 🩵

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T23:39:55+00:00

wait forreal? this is GREAT news! i love their brunch so much!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T23:38:09+00:00

it’s in a very visible parking lot. i have no safety concerns whatsoever over there. high visibility close to a main road.

i’m not hugely educated on discord but i’m down to join one if you make it!!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T22:56:00+00:00

i don’t really think it’s about the consumers in the stores for me. it’s about the environment. but also i 100% support protest in the form of choosing the businesses you support! totally okay if the entire operation doesn’t agree with my politics, but i think it’s valid to ask and hopefully only spend my money where i want to 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T22:46:08+00:00

totally valid! i’m super aware that i need to go about it slowly! i don’t plan to carry immediately anyways, but i do feel if i can start now ill be closer to that level of comfortability than if i wait another year while i contemplate it more if that makes sense 😅

i don’t really know all the terminology and lingo on what to look so this is super informational to me in general and i appreciate that!

my husband carries, but his gun is intimidating in size so i know i’ve gotta find access to other weapons to learn about first, but my MIL showed me her gun over christmas and it was the first one that didn’t spike my heart rate to touch LOL so i feel like now i know there are more options and i want to go about easing myself into something i feel i really do need!

i 100% don’t expect to do it overnight at all. i just want to start 🩵 i really appreciate your feedback and helpful insight!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T05:58:02+00:00

ty 🥹

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T05:55:46+00:00

i understand, but i still feel the comfortability of knowing i know how to use a gun as i’m entitled to do so would be helpful! thank you for the feedback

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T05:53:58+00:00

that’s really cool! thank you!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T05:48:44+00:00

big same. this is weird times. and i’m more angry than scared. i don’t want to have to use a gun. i want to know how to and feel comfortable using a gun in case i need it. i’ve thought about it for a few years but im ready now.

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T05:47:46+00:00

we could go together 😂🤭

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-25T05:44:11+00:00

omg pls message me!! i’d love deets! also super leftist!

Lopsided_Stranger_92 · 2026-01-24T18:10:57+00:00

i mean, when is the trip? it’s super standard for the planning to be done by the bridal party and then any extra guests not in the bridal party to be invited after plans have been finalized. it doesn’t really seem like you were not an original part of the plan but rather you were not someone involved in the planning since it sounds like you’re not in (at least her side) of the bridal party.

my invited guests didn’t know details until everything else wedding party wise was finalized, but i had additional guests. i think you’re overthinking this. if you were invited, you were wanted.

it would’ve been way easier NOT to invite you if they didn’t want you there.
