Fun fact, prions are terribly resistant to heat but ash has the right chemical composition to neutralize prions in the soil.

Well this is fun.

Start with a locally focused mutual aid project.

This puts your group in a situation where the local community can regularly interact with you in a more neutral situation. They get to ask questions about what you’re doing and why and you get to practice your casual “just be normal about it” elevator pitch.

If things go well, more people will join the group. Newbies to replace those members that fall out due to attrition and (hopefully) extra people to increase the ranks of the group. Reassess your group’s resources and abilities.

Discus projects around public safety/community defense/self defense. Start small, for example, in a place where ICE may be operating regularly learn what “rules” ICE arrests tend to follow and make sure the community at large knows about them, set up observation and early warning communication lines when it looks like ICE (or some self deputized ICE wannabe’s) might be around. If you’re community mutual aid project is still running (food bank, soup kitchen, checking in the unhoused, etc) you’ll use that situation to push out the information and strategies regarding ICE arrests.

If things go well, this will better integrate your group within local community, hopefully leading to more people joining the group outright and people sympathetic to the group willing to offer their time and specialties in the group’s projects. Reassess your group’s resources and abilities.

As your group gets larger and more integrated within a community, it will be easier to have conversations about community defense in general and armed defense specifically.

And as always, there should be some effort to teach, learn, and discuss theory. Tie it in with current events. Skills training is also important, physical fitness training if possible, first aid/combat lifesaver/street medic is essential and should be easy to get people interested in learning, how to handle yourself in a protest, how to deal with being arrested and its consequences, and as time goes on physical self defense (hand to hand stuff) and firearms.

There is a spectre hauting us… the specter of

Fear of Russia brought the western alliance together. Now fear of Russia threatens to break it apart.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed in 1949 by the US, Canada and European allies to deter Moscow.

I’m sorry, what the fuck? It was never about “Russian threat[s]”.

>In 1949, the prospect of further Communist expansion prompted the United States and 11 other Western nations to form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Soviet Union and its affiliated Communist nations in Eastern Europe founded a rival alliance, the Warsaw Pact, in 1955.

You keep something like 3 pounds of collected change in one pocket that bounces off your thigh and sounds like you’re wearing exactly one spur.

Congratulations.

Hope it works out for you.

Not a mail carrier but do work for the USPS in a throwaway job.

cue Benny Hill theme

A man must spend a lifetime to hone their relexes to instantly catch all objects that come shooting out of their wallet every time there is a need to get into it.

“Smooth equals feminine”

“Wrinkly equals masculine”

Also, this does does look more like a small purse than a bill fold style wallet.

Wonder how hard it is to deal with a “runnaway” situation with one of those?

Normally you’d just twist the ammo belt 45 degrees or so.
