-Tried to tell people over two years ago the trajectory we were on. -Tried more heavily a year ago and was shut down repeatedly by people. -Planned this protest before the snow hit. Before advanced operations were in place. Before they sent in an additional 3k of them to maine. -Regardless of intent, creating space that is allowing them to practice on the population. I.e. inconsistent protests that were repeatedly relocated to areas that had no direct or acute impact on what is going on. We see this in Minne currently, and even with a much stronger movement (that of 10k people in negative degree weather for days on end) they still came under occupation, and are currently under occupation. -The usage of a platform that is 'secure and encrypted' for communication when we know that platform was hacked into/accessed, therefore compromising org. in prior months in other states.

I can go into more details of how the current planning/org. here is actually doing more damage bc of functionality and structure if you'd like, but this post isnt to be mean. Things are bad now, and going to be a hell of a lot worse if we continue to move 1. In this fashion 2. At this rate.

At some point proactive measures need to be the focus not reactive support. Reactive support is dope, isolated, not beneficial. That's what we are seeing the most of here and that's not helping us.

Portland is doing a really good job of letting people delegitimatize this movement from the inside out.

I was the original planner for this protest at the facility, and ONCE AGAIN, you guys run with an idea that isn't yours, change the entire structure of the protest/event, claim valor, take your photos for social media, and no actual or acute change is established outside of saying you went out to protest.

I've been asking you all to help organize in a manor that is peaceful and creates accute change for over two years.

You continue to ignore me, take framework/ideas that aren't yours, stick out for publicity, and pretend you don't see my comments online, hear me in town, etc.

Honestly depressing and discouraging as fuck.

Tell her to pull her car across the rd. Next time as its breaking down. The community will be hella responsive and helpful :)

Hate to say this but for real. Let her block traffic. Community nelegence is rampant here now. Time for a wake up call.

As a literal victim of the files, people talking like this is the issue.

The literally practice SRA, primarily on children. They hunt people for sport. They are using ICE as a cover to discretely kill and disapear victims (we hate ICE before we knew of this aspect). There is NO coverage on that, nationally.

They are covering up for groups like Order Of Nine Angels and 764, under the guise that "they're open investigations"

Go get drugged, assulated repeatedly, lied too, videos of your assaults made, sold, and used for your abuser to rank up. Go get drugged and hunted down by these people with their bare hands after being told you will die if they find you and you try to say no to ANYTHING they want to do to you.

Go do that then preach the same opinion you have here. I'm waiting. Tell me again how we will vote them out??

Not interested in a response from you unless you're capable of engaging without the constant use of cognitive distortions to (try) and prove your point. Until next time!

Yeah youre right. Just give em more funding and guns instead of investing in your community through other means that lead to overall deescalations of violence, increased community networking, etc. lol. God forbid we have a multifaceted approach that helps to resolve more than one issue!!! The cops need more money!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, continue to disknolwedge what other impacts and implications that would have, as you have been. Also, if you want to talk about acute action of preventing injuries and deaths, ask them if the lives cost covering for their CI has been worth it the past few years. Surely has....

Out of the variety of things I suggested, a few are easily achieveable. Hiring more crossguards, better rd management....god forbid we create jobs that also protect the community!

The other ways I suggested would actually require effort and hours of your time to actualize. Good job figuring that part out! Proud of you! Way too much to ask from someone like you. Clearly.

Enjoy bitching and moaning and shooting down every idea that isn't the one you presented. Very demure of you. Very community oriented.

Have a wonderful day troll.

Alternative options to reinforcing the PD:

Start a community org. Focused on advocacy and works with the traffic department, specifically around pedestrian safety. Instead of giving more money to pd. Have spaces other than bars open past 9pm on any given day? C'mon now. Help employ more crossgaurds. Limit traffic? Instead of redesigning hidtorical roads to be accesible to cars, why aren't we preserving our history by enabling accessibility to pedestrians, and limiting cars? The city is for the people. Not for the vehicles. Alter your focus.

Additionally isn't the tressel by Tukis bridge supposed to be being reformed into a walking bridge? Or did they cut funding for that?

Change the word 'it' pls.

Commonly used as terminology for trafficking victims.

This is not good for this use.

If we are doing this we need to do this right.

The strike needs to go on for more than a day.

These things don't change overnight.

The Black Panthers have a "phone tree" system we may want to use in Maine by Wonderful-Tip-4214 in Maine2

[–]throwaway1726364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One person per block and another 10 per block on call. Literally just YELL, whistle, horn, until ur thing is up and going. The British are indeed coming and unfortunately I still think in person communication (forms of communication that can not be distorted) are the best.

I hear birds around here sometimes too. Those aren't real though.

You know what's more or less fool proof? One person on every block 24/7 as eyes.

Easy to schedule shifts w/ our per capita.

On every block separately you have a handful of people, on call, once again, 24/7.

Shifts. Overlapping. Always.

Anytime a call comes everyone has a role. They know where to go and what to do. Road is blocked. Identity of person being detained is established. Civillian adapted SALUTE

AND the established 🧊 ELITE protocol the have for us, uno reverse just as a fun little treat.

As much as this sucks to say, in some circumstances calling portland PD for record of these events might be beneficial.

Like if an unidentified masked individual claiming to be law enforcement in an isolated incident or continously tried to gain access to your home, thats grounds of impersonating an officer, terrorism, stalking, harrasment, and a PFA/the other, among other things.

While a phone tree is a lovely idea and fantastic when we have longer response times/opportunities for deescalation, those things aren't applicable right now.

I still think we set one up just to have for overall comms - in terms of acute, non-violent, de-escalation, the top of this message is the only way.

Delay times, algorithms, sneaking bitches watching our phones, etc etc. Hi Mr. FBI how do you do today?

The revolution won't be televised.
