Yeah, I understand and agree, I just had to air my grievances at this bizarre, upsetting world.

34% is such a large number of representatives to defend a bad actor.

Nowhere did they say it was irrelevant, they said the graphic novel was “of-it’s-time.” That, along with the comment on Thatcher’s Britain, conveys to me that they are saying there are specific things in the novel that are referencing the specific political events/scandals of the time it was written.

It’s so refreshing to see a scandal not related to Trump or Epstein 🥲

Additionally, you can use a coin tumbler (I think that’s the term) where a bunch of strangers pool their coins for various transactions into one wallet that then distributes the coins to their end destinations, adding a layer of obscurity for which starting wallets are associated with which ending wallets.

Yeah, I remember taking a walk through the polar vortex back in 2019 and feeling heat escape my clothing like air from a ripped astronaut suit, but that was a 20 minute walk and I anticipate being out in it for multiple hours this time. That means I need to prep differently.

Okay, I can respect doing those things. But between this and the other thread we’ve been talking in, I’ve felt that you are being dismissive of actions beyond standing around with a sign that don’t involve directly inhibiting ICE, such as delivering foods to families that can’t leave their home for fear of ICE. It honestly gave me the impression of an out of State keyboard warrior telling other people to get themselves killed.

To be frank, I’m not at the point where I’ll slash tires, although I’m not extremely far off and getting closer with every news article and discussion with friends and family. I’ve always been more of a supporter of others, and right now that means doing the work to ensure the targets of ICE are as secure as possible while you do the work of making ICE’s lives hell. I don’t think it’s crazy to say both should be respected.

I’m not sure what non-peaceful protest doesn’t turn into shooting, so I’d actually love if you elaborated on what that looks like.

Anyway, see you downtown tomorrow!

Maybe you’re used to it, but the world hasn’t felt normal to me for the last decade.

In your honor, tonight I’ll dream of jim bringing his gun to the white house to enact justice. Maybe he’ll make a pitstop in Minneapolis with a bullet for every one of the 3,000 ICE agents outnumbering our police five to one.

Wow, everything you just said could be mirrored right back at you. So here is the mirror:

Ahhh fighting the federal government is your plan.

That’s perfectly fine, pal. But stop telling people that doing something besides shooting is a bad thing. I know you won’t protect the folks around you, but lots of people will stand up to protect you… and they just need encouragement.

So when you see people suggesting non-violent fighting instead of killing people… just don’t comment.

If the last year has been a slow boil, I’d love to see a fast one.

How about a moratorium on evictions so endangered families can stay safe at home? Done.

How about volunteers delivering food to those families at home so they don’t have to leave? Done.

How about schools pivoting to allow remote learning options so endangered students can continue to receive an education without having to risk leaving the house? Done or almost done depending on district.

If you think this march is the only thing we are doing, then you haven’t done your research. This march draws national eyes, but it also allows local organizers to recruit new people to take steps to weather this siege in a fashion that increases national (and international) support instead of stepping on it through violent means.
