I know. While it's vital we understand our legal rights, it's more vital "in this moment" to teach people practical defensive steps. We are being attacked by a lawless force. Whining about judicial warrants isn't going to get it done.

I don't disagree but saying that invading a state, kidnapping a country's leader, etc. is just a distraction kind of minimizes the other horrible things. We need justice for Epstein survivors but we won't get it without functional democracy, no matter how hard we beg.

Ummm, but Minnesota isn't. It's full of Nazis killing people. Maybe that's what you'd like but...you have a rat problem.

Thank you for saying this. I feel crazy reading all the "it's just a distraction" posts. Yes, being hit by a car would distract me from my tax audit. Both are still vitally important.

Um, per the constitution, reporters can't be arrested or shot, protests are legal and I'm allowed to criticize the government without being a target of a corrupt DOJ. It's not stopping them.

And look, I want to be clear. I am a nonviolent guy. I abhor violence. It's the dumbest way to solve a problem. But this is the equivalent of letting someone slowly bleed to death because you're worried about the effects of a tourniquet. We're going to nonviolence our way into having no government.

It's terrifying to think you may be harassed by armed militias, demanding papers, at any time in the US...oh wait, this is about Venezuela. My bad.

You can literally see CNN outside missing the point.

You are a useless sack of shit. Take your corporate PAC money and fuck off so vertebrate Democrats can try to actually resist.

I did have "state calls their own national guard up to protect from federal law enforcement" so that's a square I guess. I'm tired of bingo.

Thank you for taking a stand. And for protecting my right to speak my mind in the US, regardless of my lack of military service. Choosing your own path through life is one of the reasons America was great before MAGA, ironically, ruined it.
