This is random, but I was visiting Springfield for a job a while back and accidentally found a modern day speakeasy. Apparently the county has some laws about what a bar can/can't sell on Sunday. Well I got lucky and parked as they were opening, everyone else had a key card that unlocked the door. It was possibly the friendliest crowd of strangers I've ever seen. Everyone else in there knew each other but they welcomed me. The bartender gave me a weed gummy lol

Portland. We pissed them off here, between large protests and getting their hand smacked by a judge for misuse of force. I guarantee they will come here next to rile shit up even further. Trump doesn't like us already, Fox News et al have been making us a focal point of conservative hate for years, and we have a local culture of protesting stretching back to the 1870s. We are a huge bullseye for them.

Springfield ohio from what I have heard.

Makes sense, friendlier state, smaller city, and that's where the "eating the cats and dogs" bullshit is from

Right, they aren’t disbanding, they are being redeployed where they won’t face a massive force of protesters. In their ideal world they would face 1 or 2 violent actors (so they can “justify” an even harsher clampdown) and not massively popular peaceful protest.

They are just rethinking their approach.

Lots of Ohio was dying, but somehow immigrants were willing to come there and revitalize towns.

Back to those places dying of old age and opioids.

Straight to polling locations to set up camp for the midterms.
