I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

✅ Im Stuttgarter Quartier #Weilimdorf planen Bürger eigenständig ein #Wärmenetz, obwohl die Stadt dort keine Infrastruktur vorsieht.

Heizen in Weilimdorf - Stadt plant in Stuttgarter Quartier kein Wärmenetz, die Hauseigentümer schon
Ein Wohngebiet in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf eignet sich offenbar gut für ein Wärmenetz. Weil die Stadt hier aber nichts plant, werden Bürger selbst aktiv.

Jamie Raskin: “**And the minute that somebody in public office thinks that they’re a king, they’re a queen, they’re an emperor, they’re a dictator, that it is time for the people to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again. Because the most important words of our Constitution are the three first words of the Constitution: ‘We the people**’”
This Democrat just reminded us why we all must declare ‘No Kings’

i saw a toot joking about “liquid ass” and it’s all i can think of when i read about apple’s new shit
i didn’t know that liquid ass is a stink bomb, i think the original toot was about lube for anal, but it reminds me of diarrhoea
i am sure apple would love it if their new look reminds everyone of different kinds of arse juice

Größter Sandspeicher für Fernwärme steht in Finnland
Ein Silo voller Speckstein speichert Wärme, die später in das Fernwärmenetz abgegeben wird. Damit brauchen sechs finnische Kommunen kein Öl mehr.
