Since many USAians are now or in the near future going to be interacting with citizen-soldiers in ways they never have before, I thought it useful to post a link to an archived version of the US Army's Soldiers Manual of Common Tasks (levels 2-4) . Every soldier gets a version of this manual and uses it as a guide. While updated, it is much the same manual I was issued when I enlisted way back in 1989.

Subject area 19 - Crowd Control could be of immediate interest to some but the whole manual is worth a read

@rzeta0 @delta

lol .. there's no guidance or discussion about securing user devices because it's not practically possible. modern phones were built to be spyware and are, by design, more chatty then Slavoj Zizek on coke. And BTW, you certainly don't need to be a state level actor to compromise a phone, a semi-savvy human with a bit of time and modest resources is sufficient .. so don't give those israelis tooo much credit :) anyone can do it

@AnarchoNinaWrites i've been saying this .. it's been the plan all along :/

Folks...the reference is to a mass expansion of carceral labor in response to the Grant's pass ruling. The last time I heard figures, which was probably 2022 or so, there were 800,000 inmates working, and producing $11B in goods and services. Grant's Pass and the criminalization of homelessness allows for a massive expansion of that carceral labor system - on a scale that the fash might believe can replace say 20M deported (or worse) ppl in the labor force. That's the plan the poster means.

@MikeJMele amen .. been there a few times :/

@majorlinux which radios worked?

If you are National Guard or active duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of people on American soil, here's the number for the GI Rights Hotline. There are options, including but not limited to CO. Even if you don’t meet the definition of a conscientious objector, you may still qualify for a different discharge. You can call the hotline to discuss your options: 877-447-4487.

This tweet aged well lol - Jay Kuo

A screenshot of a February, 2024 post on social media by then-South Dakota governor Kristi Noem. The post of Noem’s 2024 post was posted by California governor Gavin Newsom over the past few days in which Newsom said “This aged well.” 

If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.
South Dakota defends the Constitution. - Kristi Noem

@peter it was a well deserved loss, imho :)
