Well hey there new friends. Pleasure to make your acquaintance where the skies are blue. I'm an MSc in Epidemiolgy, working on a sinking ship in the middle of a burning sea. Looking forward to setting down some roots here and getting to know y'all better so we can prop one another up.

I’m a big fan of civilization. Rule of law, public health, universities, science, all good things. Great stuff. It may not be ‘politically correct’ to say this but I’m also a fan of what civilizations have done to idiot barbarian hordes who attempted to trample on those things.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.

The administration is genuinely furious that Minneapolis hasn’t rioted yet
Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

It is mindblowing that many people see now that we were right for calling it fascism years ago and yet we still have to point out that we are watching things unfold largely as predicted. Fascism now may look different but you can spot the patterns. We aren't overreacting.

Ice pack on the sternum can also do wonders.
If you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here:
“Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”

When I was a lawyer with the National Inquiry into MMIWG, the interim report recommended a civilian task force to investigate and prosecute cops.
Flatly refused by the Trudeau government; a no-way-in-hell level of refusal.
Cops protect the state, not the citizenry.

Absolute lawlessness. This is another (imperfect) protection of democracy we have in Canada - the ability to bring private prosecutions.
