Yeah. A few states don't have an official residence for the governor, but I think almost all do.

What kind of cargo release do you recommend for water balloons?

The Apple thing happened after the policy changes that the above post was about though.

In practice, what I've seen people do is to use large crowds. I haven't yet seen any overt use of guns for that kind of defense.

That's remarkably hard to do in any kind of reliable way. ICE snatches are fast, and the odds of being there with a gun and recognizing what's going on are low. The odds of shooting somebody by mistake are high.

To date things like handing out red cards has been far more effective

That too. I think it's a pretty long list, and I don't claim to have any deep insight into the order.

If it comes down to that, we've already lost.

Right now, I'd advise people to do as much outreach as possible to people you know. If you're on commercial social media, post a screenshot, put the link in a comment. Send a DM. Put up stickers.

Building the level of support that would be necessary to win a revolution likely makes nonviolent paths such as impeachment possible.

The guns are to prevent violent suppression of that public support. Not as a first choice.

Funny thing is the criteria they talk about would impact Melania Trump and Elon Musk, both of whom became citizens under false pretenses.

The plan is of course to send people whose skin color is too dark or hold left-wing views to the death camp in El Salvador.

The problem with things like crypto and genAI is that they're capital-intensive, which makes little sense for something that's only available as excess for part of the day on a seasonal basis.

Storage has the same problem, though it does a lot more for people.

I think the plan is to change those demographics.

The problem isn't whether you can do it, it's that very few places have access to the electrical transmission capacity to deliver the charge that quickly.

There are lots, but they mostly have quite limited power to do so in an effective way.

You see a lot from Democratic Attorneys General, since they're in a position to sue.
