Keep pushing your state investigators. Work to flip the House. And keep protesting and disrupting the browncoats.

Alex Pretti did more to stop ICE than anyone e.g. killing an individual ICE agent would do.

Brownshirts. I believe "browncoats" refers to a now-extinct space opera fandom from a few decades ago.

Firefly?

That's the one! Space oat opera, I suppose I should have said.

Good grief, I wonder if it's held up. Oh, early Whedon, it's sure to have that "creepier than Tarantino" vibe at times, but maybe it'd be an interesting rewatch. Seeing a young Nathan Fillion is its own reward, certainly.

I am a resident of the Twin Cities and I agree wholeheartedly with this perspective. I found reading the book Waging A Good War very educational about the deliberate, strategic use of nonviolence by the American Civil Rights Movement and its ultimate triumph as a means to win support and achieve social change. It was a clear and inspiring parallel for me during the worst times of this year so far.

I appreciate and support you. If I can help, let me know how to contact you.

Civil war or getting screwed by elites aren't the only two options. That's a false dichotomy.

I completely agree. But political violence increasingly polarises the outcomes to those two. (The elites can buy gunmen faster than you or I can.)

California has a referendum system. Get an AI measure on the ballot. Companies that are doing the things Anthropic got fired for refusing to provide are banned from doing business in the State of California. (Or with the State. Find a balance that gets the votes.)
