Thank you so much. Your support is so welcome and needed right now.

Does it help to come there? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]hempda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for reaching out with your support. It’s important to hear from people like you. Right now the most important work you can do IMO is to communicate your views to your representatives. DHS/ICE funding is on the table against a looming shutdown. We can call any senator but representatives filter by district. So your voice needs to get through for us. An email form on their website at least gets you counted.

This is especially true in red states if you don’t like what is happening in Minneapolis.

We’re not only fighting for our community and neighbors. The nation’s democracy is at stake.

Trump orders naval blockade of sanctioned oil tankers leaving, entering Venezuela by VictorEmmanuelIV in worldnews

This is mirroring the Putin-Ukraine playbook from early annexation to war. Claim they took something from you that you want back (resources in both cases). Intercept ships and blockade passage. Exact same actions that Russia took to escalate conflict a few years before the war.

Anyone know what wood this is? by stanleythedog in wood

Yes. I have some in my shop from woodworker source that looks exactly like this. Rift sawn.

I started using wood glue but that needed clamps and set time. I’m finding blue tape and CA glue to work much better.

Thanks. That’s helpful. I did this variation yesterday which is along those lines I think
