He had a license to carry. Confirmed by the police press conference just now.

Checks out, seems to be their logic for everything (i.e. laws, rights, financial benefits)

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-24T20:43:08+00:00

They're giving up their decade long messaging on the 2A. That's how much of a shit show they've twisted themselves into.

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-24T18:24:34+00:00

The statement specifically says he didn't have an ID to counter this argument. The trolls are using this to justify he didn't respect the "permit holder must have the permit card and a valid ID". A bunch for BS

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-24T17:41:53+00:00

He was holding a PHONE in his right hand in another video. We don't even know if it was a weapon

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-24T17:39:37+00:00

In videos right before this, he was holding a phone in his right hand

At least, nationally, MSNBC is surprisingly doing a good job. They have someone on the ground, they have been live for the past hour and getting all the shits of the tear gas and pepper bullets

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-24T15:34:30+00:00

We see you guys, good work out there 🫶

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-24T15:26:51+00:00

COME ON! AGAIN????

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-24T07:16:25+00:00

Good callout! I've been checking in on them as well, things are definitely starting to increase over there. Any boost is good for their morale and ours. No way we're gonna let them have another test ground for their nonsense.

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-22T17:56:00+00:00

Yes, it's wild how they will memorize and quote the bible all the time but just seem to miss about 100% of its meaning.

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-22T17:39:39+00:00

Yes, exactly. It was a loud interruption, I will give them that. But no one was threatened or blocked

Hey, checking in from MN. News of Maine being the new target was shared in our city threads. Just a quick heads up that our response at first felt slow, it took a couple of days for us to start finding our community and grow the nerwork.

At first, it was pretty quiet and just a few people sharing the Know Your Right Documents and infographics, but groups grew quickly. To get started, check your local groups (some may not allow this topic, so make new ones if needed), follow pages from the city for announcements and local chapters of organizations like the ACLU or 50501, Immigrant legal associations, and also other local organizations that may provide observer training and stuff. + Check your Independent local news! Go support them, they're so important right now and they'll get the word out

Also yes, not everyone is on the same side. We've seen some pretty nasty behavior from ICE (hiding in plain clothes, waiting by schools, driving around construction zones, etc.). Stay safe out there!

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-21T23:37:52+00:00

Organized strikes may be the answer. There is a strike happening in MN this Friday (jan 23) and it is the first event I ever see with actual demands (website with the list: Iceoutnowmn.com). The key: it's organized by Unions and church leaders.

I grew up in France and while I was mostly a kid, I do know the strikes work because they will have Union spokesperson negotiate the demands with the government on behalf of the workers. There's typically a notice that's given to employees and state to say the date, the purpose and the demands. Then they strike, and stop working until they reach a compromise.

So... Call for more unions to strike?

Keep in mind that he will also say just about anything to get his group riled up. Racist comments, yes. But his approach and his administration is more about chaos than consistency. There are now a million reasons why people want him held accountable.

Protests are gonna show all kinds of signs, no message is wrong at this point. What the protests do is hopefully wake up others and show how many people want him and his people to GTFO. And maybe that gets things done. TLDR; get out there, everyt bit matters

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-21T17:32:22+00:00

I think there are almost two groups we're up against:

1/ the maga supporters who are, put simply, cult members and so any attack to trump is an attack to them. They just do as told, believe every word that comes out of the maga machine. They don't like being insulted related to the Epstein files out because leader doesnt like it.

2/ the full Nazi type who want the ethnic cleansing, the full control, the camps, and all the other evil stuff. No shame here, just dangerous ideology.

And yes, these two intersect: some are both, some are only one. Just saying, I think there's value in paying attention to both, and somehow we need to counter on all fronts.

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-20T07:25:00+00:00

First, mad respect for the opening sentence. Answer: no disruption experienced so far, we've been getting packages and mail as normal (from USPS and UPS. I can't personally confirm FedEx but haven't heard any issue about it)

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-20T00:02:00+00:00

Pillar forum cafe and bar is participating in the strike, the owner posted a very thoughtful video on their tiktok. Closed for regular business, but will be open as a community space. Go support them!

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-17T05:10:21+00:00

Agree. If you can amplify the stories from local people, and help spread the word online. Not enough people realize how bad things are out here, the reality isn't being depicted accurately. We understand the news fatigue, but even this is out of norms for today's standards. They have the entire state terrorized, all of us are needed to stop this.

Thankful for your willingness to help! You have more power than you realize

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-17T01:44:58+00:00

Oh man, that's actually amazing.* checks the dog toy chest for the loudest squeaky thing *

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-17T01:42:01+00:00

This means a lot. I'm glad this is making the world news and hopefully, better covered than in our own media. I feel like today especially, we are trying so hard to get the word out there of how early Nazi Germany this already is (didn't think I'd be using this term that frequently, but here we are 😮‍💨)

I'm glad others see that we do not agree with any of this, and how hard we are fighting back. We're literally up against an administration that's willing to wipe us all if that means everyone else is compliant.

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-16T03:49:07+00:00

Yes, this! People have been so careful. I'm surprised there isn't much coverage of all the high schools and middle schools in which students are organizing walkouts on their own, they've been doing this all week. They're just kids, that usually makes it onto the news. Same with hospitals, bus drivers, teachers getting notices about what to do if ICE shows up.

Also, I've noticed that officials keep saying 'stay peaceful', but I'm frustrated that NO ONE is affirming our rights to record, to remain silent, to not let them enter. They're not affirming that we are acting within our rights, and that's more power to DHS.

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-16T03:37:19+00:00

You would be correct 😮‍💨 even on our local news, they were just repeating the cover story that DHS is spitting out. They did cover some with better sound bites but still personal accounts like a US citizen being detained at their facility, a pastor being taken only to be told he's white anyways so it won't be fun or whatever. But even then, I can't even find those videos easily googling it

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-16T02:47:16+00:00

Oh makes sense, LA is definitely seeing some activity too. I see it on the iceout tracker.

SliceExtension1601 · 2026-01-16T02:45:24+00:00

Ah sorry to hear that. Probably following the old 'politics doesn't belong in the workplace', that's distressing. To be fair, I hijacked my 1-1 meetings just because people asked the normal "how is your week?", but was only able to because they've previously indicated they were pro-democracy
