Sure. Please let me know what policy/policies, legislation or proposed legislation is the food drive is addressing. I've tried keeping up with IN legislation and have spoken in length w/reps' staff with my concerns and desired actions. Like SB140 I needed clear language guarantees in bill. I'll DM.

I was there in the pouring rain with my bum foot in ortho shoe on the 5th. Been protesting since 90s so I know what protesting is "about". You aren't choosing to operate for the safety of others. CANNED food drive's not a protest and invites false narratives about our peaceful protests.
Trump makes bizarre claim that protesters are throwing cans of Goya Foods products and Bumble Bee tuna fish
At his rally, Trump also praised violence against journalists, reiterated false election fraud claims, and leveled an attack against Rep. Ilhan Omar.

No violence. OK. Cuz looks bad? Ethics? Could provoke trump to react with targeted policies affecting right to protest? Been told to follow rules of peaceful protest cuz it could trigger martial law. Now it doesn't matter cuz he can do it no matter what? Sloppy. No clear message. Pushes allies away.

Well that's some crazy reasoning. Why then aren't we armed and forcibly removing this dictator? I mean, if the threat of martial law means nothing because trump could do it any time, why are we even being peaceful? One hand: don't give reason for declaring martial law. Other hand: It doesn't matter.

Not just asshole, he's insane. Asshole usually based on one's actions. W/trump, it's his core being. It's not behavior. It's a symptom of his insanity. Agree with the seriousness of this, but his insanity knows no end, and sometimes levity helps cope with trump's unhinged personality and stupidity.

IN is having a "canned food drive" during the Shred Project 2025 protest, which is very scant on details of recipients or orgs distrib food. It'll play into trump narrative of cans being used as weapons, then martial law. Was planning on protesting, not a charity event with few details, so no.
April 18, 2025 at 9:41 PM
This is coming from the moron who thinks Ukraine invaded Russia. Fuck this fascist administration. They're just trying to rile up the opposition to riot, then martial law.
April 18, 2025 at 9:32 PM
Nope. Canned food drive? Who for? Why? Canned foods have nothing to do with "shredding Project 2025". Canned foods at peaceful protest-especially one covered by media leaves too much room for 💩🙄 admin to claim as violence, which he's done before, and enact martial law-bad idea. Won't go cuz of that.
April 18, 2025 at 9:27 PM
Bringing canned food seems like a terrible idea, despite--and maybe because of-leadership providing "security" by police. Lots of questions. What orgs will receive and distribute the food? Who is the food supposed to go to? Bad actors can pose as protesters, throw cans &🍊💩 then enacts martial law.

Ummm...US Marshals are under the direction of the Attorney General, Bondi, and she answers directly to the criminal in the White House. Sorry. I should be more specific. The orange POS convict sitting in the White House--or more aptly, playing golf at one of his properties.
I hate that man.

Thank you for saying that. I'm from US and I think from a historic perspective, we're lame. So unchallenged in/with our democracy that we don't know how to react.

Yea. I stopped watching late night comedy talk shows like Stephen Colbert after election because I couldn't bear someone who's money would protect them joking about how bad it could/would be for us, knowing damn well they weren't going to suffer like us. Especially if they're worth is $75 mill. 😡🤮

Also think it's because they're too slow, both in thinking and their assessment of what's happening; while simultaneously relying on history & precedent of trusting the law's strength-making them oblivious to a pres. who's job is to uphold the law; brazenly breaking it. They seem shocked & surprised
April 12, 2025 at 8:23 PM
So many unlawful, corrupt and unconstitutional things happening by this admin on an hourly basis, it's hard to keep up. Hell, trump even has to have his Executive Orders explained to him because 1)He doesn't read. 2)He's incompetent. 3)There's too many of them to be fully briefed before signing.

I think we're already there. We're deporting people for dissent, and now what they might think in the future. "..determination is the alien’s past, current, or expected beliefs.."

George Floyd murder protests are close to a start in my book.

Edit: 1/6/21. Typo.
Can't type but I want a revolution.
We're fucked.

Joyce Vance, either yesterday or day before, finally said we're in a Constitutional crisis. April. And she's just now feeling this enough to say it definitively until now. We've seen this from day one. Lame people in power.

And it won't get better until we actually DO something. Brown shirts snatching people off the streets and sending them god knows where.
April 12, 2025 at 9:45 AM
We don't have to worry about those anymore. No NOAA, no bad weather. See how that works? Just like covid testing.
