Clearly a stone.

Why is he being “sued” and not “arrested and held without bail”? Is election tampering not a felony?

If he doesn’t have the backing of the NYPD by going along with everything they want, he’s toast. That’s kind of the long and short of it.

Man I miss 2012 (or whenever it was) and the “Ron Paul will make anime real” memes.

I thought they already offered an explanation. That she is a terrorist sympathizer, therefore a terrorist herself, therefore she does not have rights under the color of the law. That’s where we are.

They don’t fuck with armed conservatives. Armed leftists get bombed from helicopters and cut down with belt-fed machine guns.

Every despotic regime has a program to inform on your neighbors. Even in our tech-laden world, it’s probably one of the most effective means of identifying dissidents.

Some kaiju-sized demon could cleave Tampa, Florida in half with a flaming sword of the damned and all twitter would have to say about it is “would.”

A lot of armored vehicles are straight up deathtraps if they sink underwater. Very tight quarters, very limited ways out that are often locked down. It’s hardly impossible for this to be an accident.

Trump literally said Reagan was “terrible on trade.”

There is no person so sacred, living or dead, that they won’t throw them under the bus in their quest to consolidate power and avoid responsibility for their actions.

They’re saying to not expect a smooth return if you are a green card holder and you wanted to, say, fly out to visit family in South America for a couple weeks.

What are the odds that the orders to target Palestine protesters as “terrorist sympathisers” comes directly from AIPAC and by extension Israeli intelligence?

A thumbs down on targeting Tesla owners. Not worth your time or personal risk, and it will likely do more harm for the cause than good. Public sentiment is important.

Sure, they can choose to sell them…but someone has to buy it. Then is the buyer now a target? The number of targets doesn’t decrease until the car goes to the scrapyard.

EDIT: Another point, don’t ever take unsolicited intel at face value. Verify. This could easily be a bad actor trying to stoke random violence.

If you’re not in dire financial straits, definitely start keeping at least a week of shelf-stable food on hand. More is better, but everyone’s situation is different of course. Especially valuable would be things that can be enjoyed cold and with minimal preparation, this is important for people on the move.

Having the supplies is just part of the equation of a Supplier, the more important aspect is that other people who are more at risk and have to lay low don’t have to risk themselves by buying from stores or stealing.

Also start saving cash on hand. A lot of people rely on electronic payments nowadays but that can easily be shut off or tracked for targeted individuals.

It didn’t matter if a German citizen supported the Third Reich or didn’t care and just wanted to run his bakery. Bombs still fell on his town, foreign troops still fought through his streets. This shit affects you whether or not you have the intelligence to comprehend it or the courage to confront it.

That is a lot of manpower that could be used elsewhere, were they actually a public service.

Now is the time to learn skills, consolidate resources, and form plans. Turn your anxiety and anger into action in this way. Build a network of like-minded people if you can do so safely. Fascism is gaining ground but it has not yet gained critical momentum. But you won’t decide when that will be. Use what time you still have wisely.

This is kind of where I’m at. I don’t imagine any amount of cash in a bank account is going to prepare us for what’s to come. Even if you could put money aside, the money you typically put towards retirement might just be better off towards becoming a doomsday prepper. Probably wouldn’t save you either way, but it may buy you a little time that you wouldn’t have otherwise.

Like others have said, I imagine my “retirement” as bearing witness to the collapse of modern society and ultimately dying in some lousy brawl with other desperate refugees, or by some untreated bacterial infection.
