Try to send private security with zip ties to take away another woman in my presence…try it. I may get my ass beat, but she’s not going down alone.

✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Same!
Bronze Star actions. Carry on soldier.
I'll be with you.
👏👏👏👏💯💯
Standing with you. We may lose but they’ll never forget we were there. Should be the motto for every resister sister. ✌🏻💙✌🏻
Take you something and a blade or snips. And you chances will be better
I second that.
Where were the so-called "protector" big he-men to step in and help this woman? The manopshere assures us that's what men want to do. Provide and protect. Oh wait, the big strong alpha-males WERE the brutes. And men wonder why women choose the bear. #ChooseTheBear #ChildFree
men gave never protected women!!!
Right? Where was the "good guy with a gun?" All those clowns wearing sidearms at Starbucks but nowhere to be seen during an ACTUAL crises.
The only thing women need men to protect them from is... men. Funny how that works.
Calling her a little girl
They're always infantalizing us. It's the lame justification they used for eons to deny us the same rights as men.
It's never a bad idea to carry some of your own... www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/...
Oh goodness, why are Irish protest songs so relevant now.
I can’t believe nobody intervened! Astonishing and atrocious
has anyone taken credit for hiring these goons yet?
I'm with ya.
It was shocking no one came to her aid. No one.
Right, where was all the men at?. 😔 sad.
( far left vrs far right ) as picture's! Haha. Any questions? 😜😘🤣
Likewise. And I never come alone.
I can tell you those men would be walking around with balls the size of basketballs if they had come anywhere near me. And the rest of the MAGGAts sitting there need to lose their freedom too.
I’m with you and I’m a 60-year old grandma!
Same!!
1000%
I'll help you
trilliondollardreadful.com/2025/02/25/w...
I would have gotten up too. I couldn't believe that people just sat there.
Same. I don't like fighting, I just know how to.
I know. I can’t believe everyone just watched. And the Republican bitch across the aisle laughing? I don’t condone violence but if she had accidentally taken an elbow to the face? I wouldn’t hate it. Accidents happen. Just sayin’.
It is Idaho too, they are lucky she wasn’t armed.
Amen. Ain’t no way I’d let them do that in front of me.
Got that right! I’m so with you on this!! We must stand together. And i would probably get my ass beat too, but I’d get some good licks in before I go down. And I’ve got people to bail me /us out if need be.
Yes, it should be one for all and all for one. What's wrong with the people around her, allowing that to happen?
After watching that video I was furious. Not only at the scum trying to drag that woman out of her chair, but at all the other women who just sat & watched. I kept waiting for a group of them to jump on the backs of these monsters. I would’ve!
Where are the true grit women in Idaho? Geez, this is disgusting!
They aren't at a Republican hosted town hall, that's for sure.
Handmaidens of the patriarchy. 52% of yt women voted against their own self interests
well it is idaho
Under the spell of rump.
Right there with you! I’m getting older and my body aches but guaranteed I will still be in the mix 💙
Hell yes! I will not go quietly
Same
I wish a mfer would… heavy hands… already broke… bring it 🔥💙💙
Yes to Jess the f*cker upper. We need fighters now. All the people there can just hand in their democracy cards and get on the train.
The f’n men in that room…..their shame shall be forever. My husband would have been arrested.
It should be but it won’t. They’ll all go home and shrug their shoulders and say “what was I supposed to do?” And then also say men are the protectors and that’s why their rightful place is in charge.
A man called me a bitch in public one time. I laughed; my husband did not. If you put your hands on me, I shudder to think what that former Marine would do to some necks.
Men have never fought for women. Time to stop expecting them to do so. We are strong and can kick ass!! All the f'n women who also did nothing. That ends now! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Saw that and was yelling “why aren’t the other women helping” at my screen. 😳
Other people did try to and they got taken down too
I can’t believe not one person didn’t get off their ass and stop this bullshit. This is the USA. We don’t carry people out of meetings because we disagree with them. This cannot happen again.
Ditto. NO tolerance for this shit.
I love your spirit. My daughter asked me to please not get arrested.
Watching that video and not seeing one person stand up for her was beyond horrible. I don't care if I didn't agree with her, or anybody, at no point would I have stood by and not become involved.
Some people attempted to but were blocked. There is a longer video showing various perspectives. She is my hero for how she resisted continuously. Others were capturing the event on camera which is also helpful to get the evil doers. 😈
One man made a gesture at helping. I saw a woman across the aisle resolutely staring ahead, pointedly not looking. This is apathy and fear. This will not do.
Adult males are cowards. Women do the heavy lifting
Same 👊
Every person in that room who didn't come to her aid is complicit. What has happened to us?
LOUDER!!
Nice wolf logo, Nazis love that kind of shit.
I cannot believe no one helped her.
Same. I was disgusted no one helped her.
They all should have! Power is in our numbers! My gawd! 😭 We can do better! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼We must support each other! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯
I couldn't believe it.
Me either! Missed opportunity but they’ll be others! 💪🏿💪💪🏻💪🏽✌🏼
My feelings exactly! I will get in the way!!!
The shame of the other people in the room will come back to hump them. It is not OK to watch that happen and not stand up. The bystander effect is real-time that we grow up and be the one to step out because it only takes one to turn the tide for other people to then respond. Shame on you Idaho.
I highly recommend everyone strap some pepper spray and a stun gun to them every day.
Knives to cut ties. But they do more. They have universal handcuff keys with holders that go inside the shirt cuff. I can't tell you how prepared the militia are.
Do not bring weapons, or anything the police would consider a weapon of any kind, to a demonstration. I understand the urge, believe me, but it's asking for trouble.
Being zip tied or dragged out of a public building by rent a cops is illegal.
Yes, it is. My comment was strictly directed at the folks wanting to take place in "peaceful protest". I get it. Just regurgitating info I learned 35 yrs ago, protesting with Earth First and other organizations.
Stun gun and pepper spray are not illegal and are used for self defense
Not when they're used against the police.
It may be illegal if it’s used against city, county, state, or federal police but it’s not illegal if pepper spray or a stun gun is used against private security forces with no government authority especially in self defense.
Right on. GTK! Thanks, @gobearcats.bsky.social
Serious question: how would you take off a zip tie? Resisters must learn.
Good question. Grease our arms would slow down the process but wouldn't stop them. My comment was strictly for those wishing to stick to the core principles of "peaceful protest". I fear we may be past that point. #RESIST
The zip ties they use are not dissimilar to the big ones used for HVAC ductwork. Once "cinched up", they are very unforgiving and not the easiest things to cut. Not impossible, but also not easy.
So.... we need something.
Google titanium security ring
How do those cut zip ties? Serious question.
A titanium saw is hidden within the ring. Here’s a picture of the one I wear.
We must try.
Let me think about it. Must be something... Now ya got me using my head for something other than a hat rack! 😊 Thanks, @arleenb.bsky.social
Toe-nail clippers?
Fantastic idea. We need a cuff pocket for them.
Pull it tight and rub it briskly against a tight cord or even another zip tie. It becomes pliable and softer as it heats up, eventually enough that you can break it.
law dictates that they were supposed to be identified; minimum 1" letters on the front and 4" on their backs. Nothing. Armed bandits and they should have been treated as such.
If they would wear brown shirts you could also recognize them easily.
Dollar store brownshirts
Is MO a stand-your-ground state? This won’t end well.
I smell a lawsuit a coming
Maybe the reason they didn’t speak was because they had Russian accents? 🤷♀️
kidnappers
Recalls the unmarked vans and unidentified “law enforcement” that kidnapped protesters in Oregon during the tRump I regime protests. Very, very alarming.
Nothing New. THIS is what we tried to warn about! The fElon 2.0... www.npr.org/2020/07/17/8...
Yes!! I had forgotten about that.
I was just thinking that.
I remember that. White minivans. Military/tactical gear. It was huge news here. I don't remember, though, if they were ever identified? I think it was assumed they were Homeland Security.
If u defend yourself against an unidentified person you are within your rights. Unless they show u a badge and identify themselves as law enforcement you have no obligation to comply. They could be any creep off the street.
They're still being a creep off the street just with a badge
Agreed but if u punch a creep with a badge it’s assaulting an officer and resisting arrest. If u punch a regular creep its self defense. If they had a badge but are not showing it or identifying themselves u have an argument they didn’t do their job within the law.
Same here
Yes. I thought the rest of them were kind of passive, apart from whipping out their phones. On the other hand, I can't really say what I would do more than that, not actually being there. I'm 75. Depends on how mad they made me. But I'm not willing to even fantasize about it.
My thoughts exactly! You're going to have to drag my ass out of there along with her.
Wanted to point out that there was ONE guy that intervened and was also dragged out. Several people were arrested as well, don’t know on what charges. See @laurajedeed.bsky.social ‘s feed for the report.
That’s what REALLY pissed me off! Her neighbors and fellow residents just watching it happen without stepping in or stepping up. My ass would have been in cuffs. And that’s the problem, too many people are afraid to get their hands dirty or just plain don’t care cause it’s not them.
It seemed like the person, next to her, tried to grab her arm, but other than that🤬
Yes! I got your back, ladies! We are taking them all down!!!!!
scream RAPE and Kidnapping the whole time
They had zip ties too?
Gonna escalate to where people are packing heat
Same! I’m not sitting around letting anyone get roughed up by some insecure security force.
Amen!
It’s interesting that we live in a time of constantly finding out what we are made of and what we truly believe.
I have zero doubt what I believe — and that I will physically defend anyone who shares said beliefs. Full disclosure… short overweight grandma here, so not saying I will be any actual help - but I will go down fighting! 🥊 🥊 🍆 ⚽️ 🏀
Poorly worded.
It is that, as far the video showed, not a single person went to her aid that gets me. Fascism makes spectating de rigueur.
I did see it mentioned that people who were standing to go to her aid were held back. Haven’t seen video though. I reserve judgment until I see it.
That made me furious. Why are the women collectively fighting back while men sit on their hands or make matters worse in these situations?
Cowards
Was sent a great FB post written by Lily Starling. Why didn’t anybody help? Because nobody was prepared for this situation. Her suggestions are to write down your response to difficult situations then practice them. What would you say/do if someone in uniform came asking about your neighbor? Etc
I wouldn’t be watching or filming. I’d be pummeling those fascists Sheer cowardice is how they win There were 100x more people than the security But alas - it’s Idaho so some of them were white supremacist Nazi admirers in the crowd
Afraid so….no go to Idaho
Kick them in the nuts!
Watching that I was surprised not a single person got up to intervene!
Thank You. I have said something similar. This old lady Veteran will be right there. I am STILL HORRIFIED...NO ON TRIED TO HELP HER. Video on your phone is not enough
People should have hit those thugs and not allow them to grab her
Yes where were the pussy men?
I would scream -- he touched her breast or vagina. Make it nice and visceral
Preach, sister!! 💯
👊🏼👊🏼
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
💯!
She bit one of them and they charged her with assault. It’s going to be bad.
The district attorney dropped the assault charge.
That’s good news. Maybe some sanity remains.
I’ll have your back, Jess.
Same
💯 I will resist!
Same
I'm so effing triggered by that video. Still.
Amen, sister friend!
Same. It takes a big man to kick my ass, but it doesn't take him very long. I would of been dragged along with her. I liked your post about being between US and the haters. Mi~
So much recording!
I have been to jail. It’s not that bad.
I haven’t, but willing to give it a try for the right cause
I always thought I’d go to jail for civil disobedience or contempt of court not assault with a deadly weapon…but I guess that’s what makes life so exciting.
lol I don’t need that much excitement
May I STRONGLY suggest you to pick your spouse with care???
I won the lottery on that. Happily married for so many I cannot remember how many. But I tell my kids this all the time. And add be careful who you decide to have children with. Hope going well now
Well, my charges were entirely dropped, and he’s still on parole. :)
Silent bystanders, this could be you next. Don’t be a silent bystander.
She at least had two friends I'm the background. I imagine it happened pretty quickly, and I doubt any one there expected it. Good to stay in the mindset of any intervention rather than bystander when one can do so safely.
You have to hit those pricks quickly like a protective flash mobile. There needs to be a war cry. Whistle blowing, some type of call to arms or it could be you next.
It WILL be YOU, next. Consider: Dumalds ‘Tough Guy’ escalation during peaceful protests @ WH during last admin. Wanted NatGuard to open fire on Civ Protesters. With new crop of lickspittle, JAG (Military Judges), ‘YesMen’, WILLING to follow ILLEGAL Orders? … GUESS what’ll happen NEXT time?
No woman or any person standing for democracy will be attacked in my presence as well. I will fight back physically, real nails short and sharp. I like rings, one for each finger. Keep lighters in you pocket. #WeAreInThisTogether
Yep. Looks Like #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump May Have Accidentally Given The Right Order to, "STAND BACK AND STAND BY!" Just Maybe Not To The "PROUD" People HE Meant. ALL Decent People - Worldwide - ARE Ready! 🇺🇸 🌍
Gonna order this one and park my car right where my neighbor can get a great look.
I may be disabled but she’s not going down. Watch out for my cane, blackshirts
What a bunch of cowards surrounding that poor woman, spineless soulless zombies. Damn right you and I would stand up for her rights
Seconded
Amen!
Exactly
Same here! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When women pull their hair back, get out of the way. It’s coming.
Gurl, yaaaassss!
True that. I feel the same way.. they are modern Mussolini Black shirts and I will not tolerate that crap.
No you won’t I’ll be right there with you. They will cry I promise.
Woohoo, yes! You stand up, and we will stand up with you.
Taser! Taser! Taser! Is the chant i want to hear before we see him hit the ground.
Check your local laws to see if self-defense may be right for you. Somebody who is not law enforcement tries to forcibly remove me from somewhere I have a right to be…fafo
😎🍿🕉 This is the good place 🖕⚡️
Yep.
Being a bystander is just as bad as being the perpetrator. Got this from US Holocaust museum in DC. Comment written by a visitor.
What kind of fucking people live in Idaho?
Oh, I think the video makes it perfectly clear what kind of people they are.
It totally pissed me off to see this! Jess, I know you will fight like a MoFo! But no one stood with her. Stand up and with each other. Fuck them. If I am ever in a town hall in the future and this happens. My old ass is going down with them all
Source: youtu.be/F62D1XdQUFw?...
So have these people been identified?
I was so fucking mad I wanted to jump through space time continuum to kick both of those assholes. I'm out of fucks to give with this shit.
You got that right! I am so out of Fucks to give.
There were more than 2 men from the video I saw about 5.
Amen! Y.’all can video it, but at some point it’s time to put the phone down and intervene. Democracy is at stake. No regrets. Active resistance will be necessary.
Same girl- SAME. I may go down- but she ain't going down alone.
Same
That whole thing was inexcusable. They were sitting in metal folding chairs. That's one of the handiest damn weapons you can find. Fold it back up and it's a shield, it's a ram & a bludgeon. And nobody even tried.
Gotta hand it to all those manly men watching.
With you!! 👏
Impotent leftist rage.
Same.
It was sickening watching all those people just sit there and allow those thugs to assault that woman. Def 1930s Germany vibe. So that’s who we are now?
You are brave
With you.
SAME! Bring it TF on!
Amen! Call my attorney cuz I'll be needing bail money!
Same!
I stand with you.
I wish I could be there. I'd be right beside her. They will not get her.
Then I will jump the ones on you and so on and so one like the old Pantene commercial from the 70's. If we can literally have each other's back, they will stop.
I am still shocked no one in that room intervened and helped her. Damn. I would have attempted it.
I’m with you sister. When did Idaho become home to cowards?
When the skin heads arrived.
Me too!
God bless you!
Same Jess, same.
I cannot believe NOBODY stood up for her. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
ME TOO!!! I would have jumped on their backs. 🤬
You and me both, sister!
Same. I got about two good ass whooping left in me…been saving them for just the right time!
I’m with you! 100%
Same! When my grandkids ask me what I did to fight for our democracy, I don’t want to have to hang my head in shame. If I have scars to prove it, then so be it.
Time to start carrying a taser i guess.
And brass knuckles!
Same
Might as well show up with zip ties of our own!!
I actually know the Mary Rosdahl quoted in this story. You would love her. She watched over that poor lady. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/02/24/n...
Bear spray. There’s got to be plenty in Idaho. Not a place I’d go though.
I thought of that as well.
Wasp spray will down any alpha male.
That's a myth and the self-defense equivalent of anti-vaxxer bullshit onherown.life/dont-use-was...
I did not know that. Fascinating. Pepper spray it is!
Handling assholes with grace. 😉
✊✊✊
"We're private security." "So am i."
I’ll be there next to you! They can’t beat all of us together! 🔥
It’s appalling to me that not one person in the whole place stood up to help her.
If you’re in Philadelphia and need help, I’ll be there.
Got your backs here, too!!
Same - and I've got bail money for myself or anyone else in good trouble
Just feign lifting a knee and sucker punch straight to their throat…then follow up with a foot stomp to crown their family jewels…they won’t be attacking and zip-tying anyone after that…
Revised: Just feign lifting a knee and sucker punch straight to their throat…follow up with a foot stomp, then lift a real knee to crown their family jewels…they won’t be attacking and zip-tying anyone after that…
Shocking they all just sat there. Just sat. Did fucking nothing. Nothing!!???
People should be prepared to make these thugs stand down. They’re NOT an authority. They’re NOT cops. Stop them. Defend yourself. Incapacitate them. www.menshealth.com/technology-g...
These are useful as well biglaserpointers.com/5000mw-laser...
You are so right Jess! I was embarrassed no one stood with her! Never let resister stand alone!
Applaud!!
I can’t understand why no one helped her. WTF?!?!?!
RIGHT THERE with ya!!!!
When I think of all the strong women who gave us and fought for our right to vote I know I will not let them down now. Fight next to and with our sisters. 💪
I bought a Stun gun for this reason.
damn 💪💪💪💪💪💪
This!
Same!! If no one is man enough to stand up for her, my kids, grand kids and myself surely will!!💙
💯💯💯
Post-menopausal women are the most dangerous people on the planet. Try us.
YEP! Not going to tolerate a woman being belittled & assaulted!!
I don’t stand for any nonsense. I would come at those folks hard. They don’t call me No Fucks Given for nothing.
I'm in the midst of it. Are you saying I'm going to get meaner? As long it is directed appropriately, I'm o.k. with it, just clarifying expectations.
We have been through enough, now I know my mom actually was the one going outside with water hose in her hand telling the kids, get off my lawn now! I am not in the mood for you little shits today!
Yes, yes we are! 💙
Me too. I'll be screaming in pain before they even touch me. Call 911
I'll stand with ya! I can't believe that not one person in that audience got involved. That's embarrassing.
Same. We can’t be the ones who sat by and let this crap go unchallenged.
Word! I’m so furious!😤🤬😡
I know! I would have stepped into the Karen mode big time. That pol would have heard me bellowing with my preacher's voice. Who were those guys? Thugs. Nothing but thugs. And all the men just watched, too. Shame. People get ready.
Women need to rise up
👆🏻THIS, 24/7/365.
Damn right. You may get us both but I’m gonna make you work like hell for it.
Hell yes!
One thing that pisses me off is that nobody tried to step in and help her. Looked like an episode of The Handmaids Tale
People should have ganged around to protect her en masse!
Same 🤬👆🏾
That’s what I keep saying! Who tf just WATCHES that happen?!? Not this girl, that’s for goddamn sure.
Yeah girl! Not on our watch!
We should all be saying this.
That is right, me too! How could people let that happen?! And not only not help her but say nasty things and cheer...these "men" should be ashamed of themselves! It is absolutely sick!!! We are seeing what magas really think of woman!!!
No kidding! And I concur women should start carrying tasers and mace … come at us if you will guys.
