That’s right! Back off ICE!

Nudism, to me, represents and symbolizes personal liberty. I love naturism, and that’s mostly what I’m here to talk about, but first and foremost I believe in and promote personal liberty. As such, kings, tyrants, dictators and autocrats, secret police, etc. can piss up a rope and die. #nokings #usa

Maintain a feeder and you’ve got a loyal friend and daily visitor. I recently read that hummingbirds are approaching domestication. We have such a symbiotic relationship that they are becoming more and more integrated into human lives.

I’ve read there are many officials who could swear her in. Why does she / leadership not pursue that I wonder?

Qs any of us can ask. Call your officials!

Stephanie Kollmann @slkollmann.bsky.social · 10d

Qs journalists can pose to any official with exec power (gov, state police dir, AG, county state's atty, sheriff, mayor, city police chief):

-What have you done to investigate potential state law violations by the federal govt

-Whose job is it to follow up + when did you last discuss it w/ them

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."
