The high school in my small town (Benton City) has been occupied by firefighters. The campus is full of tents and portable/temporary facilities for all those people. I wonder if there's anything I can do for them while they're camped out.

This is happening pretty close to where I lived in Montana, I used to go hiking where this fire started all the time. It was a beautiful area, but I'd noticed that there was a lot of fuel and beetle killed trees there, so this was pretty inevitable. There is still easily another month of fire season in Montana, so it could be a bad situation all around.

Right wing troll Michael Strickland was arrested for pointing a gun at a crowd at a BLM rally in downtown Portland:

Looks like something good came of this.

Of course, many people have pointed out that its odd that a white person can publicly threaten people with a gun, and be peacefully arrested.
Update: the grand jury indicted him with 21 counts of unlawful use of a firearm, menacing, and disorderly conduct :toot:

TBF the air quality in Missoula is always pretty terrible this time of year, the valley traps any hint of smoke from the surrounding area. I loved growing up there, but man I don't miss fire season one tiny bit.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Yeah I have been seeing some facebook post/meme things about satanist schools and daycare, often either super upset, or "doesn't this sound like the most boring poo poo ever?"

I'd rather take 4 full years of religion classes at a satanist high school than I had to at a Catholic one where I was only required 3.5 of math and 3 of science though.

Also I just figured the girl in the pic on that article was just a Shadowrun cosplayer until i read the blurb

A lot of these Satanist churches that are not LaVeyian churches are basically your normal Unitarian Universalist church for Atheists with much cooler meetings. They basically are trolling bible thumpers that talk a big game about freedom of religion up until it's not their religion.

I like how there's not only an Outer Wall and an Inner Wall, but then also even more walls inside the castle! Almost like it's more about controlling the population than defending from attack...

Why Do You Think You Will Succeed Where Others Have Failed?

... We have the Patriot Agreement, a contract that clearly spells out our expectations of one another.

That is very sensible. I wonder what specific expectations they have? What does a patriot home owner's association look like? http://iiicitadel.com/patriotagreement.html

TL:DR You have to be good with guns. You have to be good with rifles. You have to be good with hand guns. You have to own a AR15 and 1000 bullets. Our school is gonna teach kids about guns. Whenever you go into the town center you need to bring a gun and carry it at all times. You have to pass a basic first aid course (in case we accidentally shoot each other with our guns). And you need to keep at least a 1 year supply of food and water in your house.

Yeah, sure, that's a great foundation for a community. Guns. Guns? GUNS GUNS GUNS!!!

Unlike when the police brutalize left wing protestors, brutality against right wing terrorists is not just swept under the rug, but repeated as a rallying cry all over talk radio as Very Serious People on the mainstream news cluck their tongues at government going too far.

And to not totally to be an rear end in a top hat, and people getting brutalized too.
