nobhillsal 🥑<p>there is no way to call San Francisco Mayor Lurie's office, his website directs you to 311 who then directs you to a different city department rather than the mayor's aid which has been the practice of previous mayors. This is a really bad way to represent the people of San Francisco. <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SanFrancisco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SanFrancisco</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SF</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SFMayor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SFMayor</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SF311" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SF311</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CommunityEngagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CommunityEngagement</span></a><br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/GovernmentTransparency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GovernmentTransparency</span></a></p>
Megaphone :verified:Unidentified Men Drag Woman from Coeur d’Alene Town Hall as Sheriff Films<br> <br> A shocking incident unfolded at a Coeur d’Alene town hall Saturday, as unidentified men forcibly removed a woman from the event—and no one seems to know who they were.<br> <br> 📍 What Happened?<br> During a legislative town hall at Coeur d’Alene High School, Post Falls resident Teresa Borrenpohl was grabbed and dragged out by plainclothes men after heckling lawmakers. Sheriff Bob Norris, who was present, attempted to pull her from her seat before stepping back and signaling to the unidentified men, who took over. As Borrenpohl repeatedly asked who they were, she received no response.<br> <br> 🎥 Captured on Video<br> Our footage shows Sheriff Norris recording the incident on his phone as the men forcibly removed Borrenpohl. She can be heard shouting, “This man is assaulting me,” while Norris commands, “You, out, now.”<br> <br> 🚨 Who Were These Men?<br> That remains a mystery. Event organizers, including Kootenai County Republican Central Committee Chair Brent Regan, claim they don’t know who arranged security or which company was used. Even Sheriff Norris denies involvement, despite being present and appearing to direct security toward Borrenpohl.<br> <br> 📢 Why It Matters<br> 🔹 Who authorized these unidentified men to detain a citizen?<br> 🔹 Why did the sheriff film instead of intervening or ensuring proper procedures were followed?<br> 🔹 Why is there no transparency about the security team’s identity?<br> <br> With no clear accountability, this raises serious concerns about due process and the use of force at public meetings.<br> <br> 📌 Watch the video and decide for yourself. Who were these men, and who gave them the power to remove a citizen from a public forum?<br> <br> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/CoeurDAlene?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CoeurDAlene</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/TownHall?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TownHall</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/CivilRights?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/FreeSpeech?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/SheriffBobNorris?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SheriffBobNorris</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/KootenaiCounty?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KootenaiCounty</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/IdahoPolitics?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IdahoPolitics</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/GovernmentTransparency?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GovernmentTransparency</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/WhoAreThey?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhoAreThey</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/Accountability?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Accountability</a> <a href="https://lgbt.earth/discover/tags/BreakingNews?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BreakingNews</a>

#Wabanaki Alliance Coalition hosts rally in Augusta regarding #Question6

By WAGM News
Published: Oct. 9, 2023 at 5:49 PM EDT|

"AUGUSTA, #Maine (WAGM) - In honor of #IndigenousPeoplesDay the #WabanakiAlliance Coalition rallied in Augusta in favor of Question 6, a referendum question that will be on the November 7 ballot.

"More than 200 people came out to show support for Question 6, which would restore the full printing of Maine’s constitution. Currently three sections, which include treaty and other obligation details, are left out of the printed version of the constitution. Governor #JanetMills opposes question 6, saying in a statement that the sections were dropped from printed copies back in 1876 to make the constitution more readable.

"In a phone conversation with #PenobscotNation Ambassador and Wabanaki Alliance President #MaulianBryant, she explained why hundreds of people gathered at the rally.

"'It’s no secret that the tribes and the state don’t have the best relationship a lot of the time, and we have a lot of policy struggles and uneven litigation, and a lot of lack of clarity, I think, in communication with the state sometimes,' President Bryant said. 'So when we’re thinking about this relationship it needs to be based in truth and respect. And if we are hiding that original documentation of those treaty obligations, it really sends a message to tribes that maybe we don’t matter enough to be in the printed version of the constitution.'

"After the rally, the group went out into the Augusta community to talk to voters. President Bryant says it was incredible to see hundreds of people come together and gather for the rally."
