States need to start stepping up to protect their population. They can't legally prevent ICE from entering the state, but they can refuse to share information with them, pardon crimes, hand out informational pamphlets educating them on their rights, declare state of emergency if need be.

Wasn't Russia left off the list? hmmm

I often recall Howard Dean's promising presidential run coming to a screaching halt with one excited and slightly awkward "yyEAH" on stage.

While I don't want to discourage anyone from contacting their representatives, mine refused to show up to a rather large town hall meeting. Went so far as to refuse to respond to all inquiries from multiple parties and news media whether or not he would attend. Over a thousand people showed up by my estimates to address their grievances to an empty chair.

There are sweetened cream products, just harder to find. Coffee mate does have a "natural" line that I think uses half'n'half, but I stopped using their products years ago. I make lattes at home and use a sweetened cream and whole milk (both lactose free) at a 1:3 ratio, and foam it.

When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same. The temperament is not that different.

I'm not even joking.

One of the main ingredients in those is vegetable/soybean oil! 🤮 Water, Sugar, oil. It's disgusting.

To a lot people, the analogy is that the dangerous criminal with a gun has already broken in and is aiming the gun at them, they're in survival mode, and are not looking for non-violent solutions. I get your perspective, just trying to show you why so many are saying to "shoot the Nazis".

I forgot exactly how expensive they were when I posted. Sorry

I think you missed the point. I mean Justifiable homicide. That's exactly how grave the threat here is, and not just for minorities.

e: for the record, i am the most non-violent person i know. I won't kill a fly, even flies deserve to live. I have no such feelings towards Nazis

I was on the waiting list for a therapist for months, finally got to see her and the clinic is suddenly forced to stop gender affirming care. I don't know the details, something about funding. But Aaaargh!! On the bright side, my therapist is still happy to help, just that her hands are tied on HRT, but she can be creative to provide me support and care. Still not sure what I'm going to do, still trying to figure myself out
