Knife threats must be terrifying. If only there was something they could deploy that didn’t murder people, like a taser or a net gun.

Hey now. I’m from that state, and I’m positive that I have no regrets about getting the fuck out of there.
I’m not west Texas Mennonite, so I couldn’t say with authority. Both Amish and Mennonite are Anabaptist, but Mennonites don’t eschew electricity, cars, and technology.
The Mennonite families I’ve known were rural and lived in a more humble fashion with a hard-working ethic reminiscent of 1950’s USA. They were also inclusive, so they probably would embrace biker metalheads.
The report states that this was a “school-age child”. Because the outbreak is primarily in rural west Texas Mennonite families, the child was likely homeschooled and with parents who, while not opposed to vaccines, are on the fundamental side of religion. Mennonite is like Amish-lite.
I believe this may have been a combination of poor education, jesus stuff, and misplaced faith in isolation.
Yeah, I understand the need to take some sort of action against little adolph and this coup, but even the promoters admit that there is no objective here - so it’s only theatrics. Better to use energy and time in a manner that at least has a goal.

Right. It isn’t illegal, afaik. But what’s going on with the CBS 60 Minutes transcripts demand, the investigation into PBS and NPR, and this legitimizing disinformation sites that claim to be news, the agenda is obvious - and it’s straight out of the authoritarian checklist. I believe it’s also laid out in Project 2025?
I’m just struggling with the complete absence of a grassroots plan for the people who oppose where this is going. Is there nothing we can glean from other countries that went through authoritarian or fascist takeover in the past century, so that we can anticipate and effectively resist a USA version of the holocaust?
So what does 21st century resistance look like? It seems that the bystander effect Germany experienced 100 years ago is happening in the USA now. What would have prevented the rise of the Third Reich? Protests are ineffectual, and I have no idea how to organize or resist - I’m just trying to stay informed in a horrified and helpless kind of way, which accomplishes nothing more than my passive complicity.
Do we need a modern Black Panthers movement? If a brilliant and charismatic leader like Malcolm X were to come forward and lead us, would we be inadvertently accelerating the inevitable martial law or creating the excuse for Civil War II Red vs Blue? Is it even feasible to envision an effective plan from a demographic that prefers pacifism?
Not only that, Delta Air spent $3.8 million to lobby for more slots. United, Alaska, and American Airlines objected because experts have been arguing for years that Reagan is dangerously overcrowded and had been experiencing near-misses.
Anyway, Delta got what they wanted and just last month the airport started allowing more flights.
This is the only inspirational effect I’ve ever heard about JW. Congrats on your graphics career!
C’mon, guys, let’s not make The Murder Team uncomfortable.
Would this report help Lessie Benningfield Randle and Viola Fletcher, the only two living survivors of the massacre, with their lawsuit that was thrown out of the Oklahoma Supreme Court last June?

An American acting alone is what I was waiting to hear.

My son - who served eight tours in almost every M.E. country after 9/11, who was crushed under a C130 then denied surgery for his injuries so now at age 42 he can barely walk, who slept on the glowing ground of K2, and who witnessed unspeakable horrors - was living in a tent near the river until recently.
Fuck this fucking country.
Agree with everything except the circumstances of Tim Cook’s “bravery”. He was outed on tv in a catty way, which generated a big bubble of support for him before he carefully opened the closet door.
