Though regrettable, I think it’s good for members of the service to experience firsthand the sort of treatment that awaits them under a fascist regime. It won’t be pleasant for anyone involved.
We won’t go quietly. The Legion can count on that. The Bear has two heads. Would rather die screaming than give in to the fascists.

This false bipartisanship narrative is so sad and stupid. 71% of Republicans are perfectly fine with what’s happening in the Gaza Strip. The fact that establishment Democrats are still waiting for Republicans to come to their senses is exactly why we’re losing.

Absolutely right. If it wasn’t their biggest weakness, they wouldn’t be doing everything and anything within their power to desperately divert attention. The question now is how far will they escalate to try and get away from the issue?

Rural America stands to benefit THE MOST from a liberal agenda. They’re the ones most in need of healthcare, education, infrastructure, environmental protections. They’re also the ones who vote most reliably against every single one of those things. We can’t save them; they don’t want to be saved.

This is the best part of the maneuver — taking advantage of existing federal law in order to achieve our aims. Exploiting the illegality of the Regime to make gains at their expense.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
The concept is rather simple: use state level resources to enforce federal regulations and statute since the present regime refuses to abide by the Constitution. Counteract their lawlessness with strict adherence to provisions of law and order.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
Right. Constitutional statute provides for “legislative oversight” of federal facilities. Since the federal government refuses to abide by this statute, im simply proposing that we substitute federal force of arms for state force of arms, which works in this case because it’s a blue state.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s federal jurisdiction. Federal statute — based on provisions of the Constitution — lays out the expectation for members of Congress to exercise their oversight authority at federal facilities. This can be exploited. I’m proposing the concept of utilizing state power to enforce federal law.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
Employ state employees to enforce federal and constitutional statute.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
These are both blue states: New York and Illinois. The Governors need to be allocating resources to enforce constitutional statute. In this case, those resources consist of men with guns.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
Colorado is a blue state. He doesn’t need to rely on federal resources that belong to the Regime; he can borrow state resources from the Governor’s Office to achieve the same effect. At the end of the day they’re all just men with guns.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
Why wouldn’t they? It’s all they know.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
It becomes their reality because they have no other information from which to draw upon in order to contradict the falsehoods they’ve been taught. In other words, because nobody has educated them objectively about the world that surrounds them, they believe whatever lies they’re told.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
Precisely. And it’s all they hear because, as previously stated, they lack a comprehensive baseline education. If you don’t develop the requisite critical thinking skills to be able to discern facts from fiction then you will only ever belong to the media echo chamber.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
This is why the education gap between Democrats and Republicans is so pronounced. This is also why Republicans deliberately attack education infrastructure across the country: the dumber their constituents are the more likely they are to continue electing Republicans.
NCR Ranger (@liblander.bsky.social) reply parent
They’re easily manipulated because they lack baseline education. There is a fundamental vacuum of valid knowledge and objective information that must exist in the first place in order for the right wing propaganda machine to fill that void with misinformation.
