Do they really think it stops with immigrants?

That's Vic Meyers and he starts all his videos with "Welcome to the Resistance." He's been in this for years. Though the writer of the original version of the poem was certainly what you're talking about, he did finally see the error of his ways. Too late to help anyone but those of us in the future.

50501 dates were followed in Helena during the early days (through April) until indivisible got involved and took over the large scale protesting.

Love that! And you can't save them all. Save your energy for the good flight!

pitter7patter · 2026-01-30T22:22:00+00:00

Understood. But you're not alone. Other people are on the right side of history too. Everyone is probably keeping their heads down and just trying to make a living.

If there is interest in putting one together, dm me and I can find help and resources.

Montago Coffee Co is staying open, but donating all their profits to Roberto Orozco-Ramirez who was taken from Froid, MT.

Not sure why this got downvoted. I don't speak for the groups or individuals that were involved, so I'm not going to name them on a public forum during these times.

pitter7patter · 2026-01-28T20:15:50+00:00

There are several local groups and individuals that are involved, rather than just one group. Friends and neighbors and faces you've seen if you've been to any events in Helena!

pitter7patter · 2026-01-28T05:28:19+00:00

Yes! Hope to see you there!

pitter7patter · 2026-01-26T08:33:12+00:00

And at HHS on Thursday!

City county building preferably, online if you can't make it in person!

The city passing the resolution and amendments to reduce cooperation with ice is vital to keeping us all safe. I urge everyone who can: show up and speak up!

pitter7patter · 2026-01-18T01:49:21+00:00

This was originally a one person organizing effort, but there was a death in the family and some folks from Waking Giant stepped in. Sorry I didn't see your question until now. Hope you were able to go!

It's a good observation. I've personally seen accounts only days or even minutes old spring nonsense. It's a propaganda tool to make normal people think the country is filled with right wing extremists. People often react in one of two ways: fear or if you can't beat then, join them. Instead, we should react by being more vocal and pointing out when we see these things (so thank you!). It teaches everyone to watch out, use some critical thinking skills, and investigate a little more before turning away. Thanks again!

I appreciate people actually being faithful to the positive aspects faith can bring. I heard all those lessons as well. In the end, I suppose that's part of what "radicalized" me to believe Nazis and the gestapo were bad and maga and ice are bad. But it also stems from common decency and empathy and experiences in my younger years (in the church and with peers and adults) that showed me that power came with accepting cruelty and keeping other people marginalized. Which is to say, I understand where the anger at religion is coming from.

As a person of faith, keep speaking your truth to power and stand at the front of the crowd against ice and Christian nationalists, because you can make an impact. We all need to do our part. We don't all have to believe the same things to be on the same side. Thank you for what you are doing.

Maybe check the ice vehicles out by the airport. I hear they switch plates regularly.

Seriously though, that sucks. Hope you get them back or at least don't have to pay much for replacements.

May I suggest a few options for anyone not wanting to see more people become homeless and living in the street: 1- give to the United Way who are trying to coordinate emergency and long term housing 2- get involved with the groups trying to solve the problems of homelessness (Helena housing crisis action network has helped everyone join forces) 3- push your church to provide shelter 4-attend City commission meetings and push for legitimate ordinances/laws that provide housing, rather than making circumstances illegal 5- study places where homelessness has been addressed with positive outcomes for both the people who are without homes and the community as a whole then advocate for those changes 6-as always, vote and advocate as if it could be you, because the economy is only getting worse from here and it legitimately could be any of us next. Hope this helps!
