Paramilitary-Style Tactics in Portland Mirror Decades of U.S. Violence on the Border & Abroad

My advice: Act as if absentee/mail-in voting won't be an option

If early voting is an option in your district, do that instead.

Consider putting in for a day off on election day now. It's hard for the boss to object this far out.

If you take election day off, go to the polls as early as you can. Once you've voted, help others get to the polls.

Keep an eye on your polling place location. Switching polling places to cause confusion is a common tactic. The internet can be your friend.

Go to the internet now and read up on your state's voter ID law. Make sure your State ID, Drivers License, Passport, and Voter's Reg are up-to-date and ready to go.

Remember that the "ProFa" forces of Donald Trump may not gracefully concede defeat. To the degree possible in these difficult times, get your financial house in order. Remember that you do still have Second Amendment rights (as our crazy uncles have all reminded us). Don't dismiss that option out of hand - you may need to defend your life before this is all over.

After seeing Portland, don't believe for a moment we aren't at this point:

Draped in lush trees and surrounded by stately buildings, Buenos Aires’ Plaza de Mayo might look like a place to check out monuments or stop for a relaxing rest. But each Thursday, one of Argentina’s most famous public squares fills with women wearing white scarves and holding signs covered with names.

They are the Mothers and Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and they are there to bring attention to something that threw their lives into tragedy and chaos during the 1970s: the kidnapping of their children and grandchildren by Argentina’s brutal military dictatorship.

For decades, the women have been advocating for answers about what happened to their loved ones. It’s a question shared by the families of up to 30,000 people “disappeared” by the state during Argentina’s “Dirty War,” a period during which the country’s military dictatorship turned against its own people.

If you are into prayer, pray that our nation survives this moment intact. Pray that DUers don't end up arrested out of hand. Pray for our opponents - pray that they realize that even though we disagree, secret police are the way of the Nazis that our grandfathers fought, not the way of Americans.
