Thank you. Small victories add up. #SandInTheGears
So is there any way to use the municipal/county planning and zoning board to slow or stop this? Where I live, the boards are volunteer and advisory in nature, but as someone who’s been on them and chaired them, the right person kicking up a fuss can at least slow things down. #sandinthegears
3000 ICE agents in Minneapolis are staying somewhere.
They're renting cars.
They're eating.
Minnesota let the rest of us know where and what companies.

@TorEkelandPC 9/10 Eight, use the skills you have to contribute. Dad was an electrical engineer. When the Nazis imposed the death penalty for owning a radio (the British sent coded messages to the Resistance after BBC shows) he said he became the most popular guy in town. 2018-06-24, 6:01 PM
@TorEkelandPC But everything's cool and we're not going to need to engage in any of this. We don't have a President who openly admires and coddles dictators while trashing our democratic allies. Our President has read the Constitution he's taken an oath to uphold, and so have his followers. 2018-06-24, 6:04 PM

@TorEkelandPC 5/10 Fourth, and this is part of the third point really, sometimes the best way to do things is right out in the open. Because no one will believe something like what you're doing. would be happening so blatantly. All good Social Engineers know this. 2018-06-24, 5:54 PM
@TorEkelandPC 6/10 Five, bide your time. But be ready for pportunity when it strikes. Again, yo need not be dramatic. Just a little sand in the gears helps. 2018-06-24 5:55 PM
@TorEkelandPC 7/10 Six, and this is a no brainer, operate in cells to limit damage to the resistance should they take you out. Limit the circulation of info to your cell, avoid writing things down and ... 2018-06-24, 5:57 PM
@TorEkelandPC 8/10 Seven, be very careful with whom you trust. Snitches and compromised individuals are everywhere. My Dad was arrested because of a snitch. His friends weren't so lucky, the Gestapo machine gunned the cabin they were in without bothering to try and arrest them. 2018-06-24, 6:00 PM

post by @TotEkelandPC 1/10 My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread 2018-06-24, 5:47 PM
@TorEkelandPC 2/10 First, you're never going to win a head on battle with an adversary that's got you outgunned. That's not the point of the Resistance. The point is to create friction, make it hard for your adversary to operate, to increase transaction costs. 2018-06-24, 5:49 PM
@TorEkelandPC Second, resistance doesn't have to be a dramatic act. It can be a small act, like losing a sheet of paper, taking your time processing something, not serving someone in a restaurant. Small acts taken by thousands have big effects. 2018-06-24, 5:51 PM
@TorEkelandPC 4/10 Third, use your privilege and access if you've got it. He and his buddies stole weapons from the Nazis by driving up with a truck to the weapons depot, speaking German, acting like it was a routine pick up, and driving away. 2018-06-24, 5:52 PM

The legal resistance to authoritarian power has been faster, broader, and more effective than many expected. 200+ cases have challenged executive overreach since Jan. Read my latest: The Sandbag Republic bradrourke.com/2025/11/01/t...

If they refuse to follow the rules, she should just show up and claim her seat. Why should she follow the rules when they won’t?

Bunch of us oldies aren’t impressed either. How does that Shania Twain song ? That don’t impress me much. As in, at all. He keeps looking south and says that’s what he wants for us, in Canada. 🍁

Say their names. By refusing to name them, they continue to dehumanize them.
They were not criminals. They might have been in the country legally.
They were targeted because goons are running the country.
And then the regime tried to blame liberals.

Well, his version of ‘negotiation’ means he bullies the other parties, threatens them when they won’t give in to his threats, calls them nasty. 🤷♀️
Then whines about it all.

Once Trump realizes that Canada is drenched in antifa he will really want to ‘cancel’ us. Better get the ambassador out of here and home before the elbows start flying.
