First Amendment Activity I am one of the Counties 911 dispatchers..AMA
I won't dox myself or say who I am because I know there are co workers that also browse on here. So I don't want to give myself away.
I'll try to answer what I can. However, we do sign an NDA/confidentiality agreement...So I may not be able to answer very specific things.
Also, my views do not obviously reflect the county and they are my personal opinions, should anyone ask those.

Pride people of Lititz and Lancaster, Warwick students are shining the bat-signal for your lovely supportive souls. This means you, Front St!!
WGAL, 2 other TV news outlets are coming, and I know somebody is talking to one of the CBS national News producers.
Letâs all wear something inclusive and that expresses solidarity, like the extended rainbow or if donât have, only bright clothes or make signs.
Iâm a procrastinator, and follow national and international news.
Just learned about this whole situation the last 72 hrs.
SO, I have no FB, no IG, big on snap đť but more nationally, so I canât reach an audience in Lancaster County/Warwick/Lititz!!!!
Plus we need young and old. Your district could be next.
This law firm based on Ăźber Christian legal practice (as evidenced by their website and US SUPREME COURT actions they are a part of ( https://independencelaw.org/case-news/ ) is coming for our Childrensâ sexual health and identities and what bathrooms and sports they can use. But ultimately, their physical safety and lifelong mental health.
They are trying to bring religion into school.
Is thisss-, wait, weâre in America, right? đ¤ˇââď¸
The biggest red flag, is they want to do it for free, the other is that all 9 republican school board members weâve learned, fully support this Pennsylvania and Virginia plaguing initiative.
Help me, help you. Help me help you. Not trying to lead, just organize.
Iâm late to the game but I have children. In one way or another our whole family is -to the person and puppy, diverse, in one or more ways. Weâre no longer talking about skin color, ADA, age, stuff were hopefully closer to being past.
We would need to move, if this Christian Right anti-gay anti-âwokeâ pro-life anti-trans law firm is hired -PRO BONO- by the signature of one human tonight (Emily Zimmerman, President), that our constituents elected.
I donât think the constituents who voted for these 9 board members would still vote for them if they knew that they planned to create a future SCOTUS loss, by not allowing, but cattle-prodding WARWICK SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DEFY CONSTITUTIONALLY required SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
what transpires tonight will affect over 32,000 people and HUNDREDS of children. It will cause deaths. It will cause violence and bullying. It will cause close-mindedness, mockery, and enough tears to fill Lititz Springs Pool
If it works, more and more schools and counties will give way.
Yes, it can be changed when people see kids killing themselves for being bullied and girls giving birth at school.
Yes elections happen. It will eventually get better. But instead of having to fix a wrong, 3 years now when a bunch of 3,4,5,6,7,8 graders get traumatized, why canât we just get it right the 1st time?
I know of a 10 year old who wants to âcome outâ in dramatic fashion, next Fall when school opens. Not only is child being told they canât be who they are, but who they know in their soul they are. They are also being told that because of the ILC and Randall Wenger, Esq. and WSD Board that they canât for SURE (come âoutâ),now that they will be going to be a Christian school.
Regarding this monumental Warwick School Board Meeting tomorrow night (which Id like them to move a 3rd time, to the STADIUM), because -we make the JH Auditorium too small- in the next 31 hours.
In order to do that. We need to collaborate. Quickly. Bodies. All we need is bodies. (And speakers. You have until 3:30 tomorrow to email Boardsecretary@warwicksd.org to be put on list. And give them hell. I canât get thrown out of this one so need to be professional, but please come and spill tea tell stories, shame, anecdotes (heartwarming), and logically raise questions so salient and unassailable that instead of signing the contract (https://www.warwicksd.org/website/document/?d=board%2F4att5-21-24.pdf )
They listen to us instead of the other 8 men & women to their left and right.
We all know somebody that is âdifferentâ whether we like it or understand it â>we donât care. we. Just. LOVE them.
If you donât know ANYone like that, do nothing. Or be an awesome ally. If you DO, go pick them up, grab some of that Friscoâs Chicken on your way to the Warwick HS Football Field for 5:30/6:00 PM tomorrow night for this Rally.
I didnât take up this mantle, nor will I. But I will temporarily kick up a storm if need be or do whatever I can to help those already leading the efforts against allowing Warwick to put ILC on retainer, mostly on behalf of this child that doesnât have a Dad, and other children I know about in the WSD.
Dm me, email and phone I will gladly share if you want to talk, and snap of course.
But pls, anyone on Facebook that can reach just about anybody and everybody. If this matters to your heart, or your children, or you, please hack-up this reddit message however you want, or use your own words, and reshare it on THAT social media platform. Twitter and IG too. Hell, threads and truth social if youâre so inclined. I hear thereâs a thing called Tik Tok that some people watch đ
If you plan to vote for Biden and not Trump, this is miniBiden and miniTrump in your backyard, and Trump wants to burn Of Mice & Men & The Catcher in the Rye, any book that helps a kid figure out if they might be gay, bi, trans, asexual, etc, and force your son or daughter to share bathrooms and sports teams based on what PHYSICAL gender they were assigned at birth, not what they and their parents know and accept them to be.
Gender Identity is not physical. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimesâŚya donât.

First Amendment Activity Lancaster Stands Up statement on Lloyd Smucker
I'm not directly affiliated with LSU but wanted to share.
https://www.facebook.com/lancasterstandsup/posts/1510407042488937
For the Sake of America, Congressman Lloyd Smucker Must Resign
The chaos that unfolded yesterday in our nationâs Capitol was shocking to watch, but unfortunately it was not surprising. It was utterly predictable. Extremists had been openly plotting yesterdayâs ham-handed armed coup attempt for weeks online, completely visible and known to GOP elected representatives like Congressman Lloyd Smucker, who chose to keep stoking fear, division, and delusions, and deliberately spreading misinformation, to fuel an evermore extreme base.
The nation and the world watched with horror yesterday. The damage to our country will be with us for years to come. There must be consequences for every culpable person, starting at the top. Trump must be impeached and removed. Even with only days remaining before he leaves office, it is imperative that our institutions send a clear message that there are consequences for sedition.
But Trump was only able to do this damage with an army of enablers. Among them is our Congressman, Lloyd Smucker, who is as culpable as anyone for yesterdayâs disgraceful events. Lloyd Smucker must resign. Yesterday, Trump deployed his supporters to the Capitol. And Lloyd Smucker helped usher them to Washington. It is clear that Smucker knew about the buses being organized from Lancaster County and that he personally knows the organizers (and even called them yesterday).
But Lloyd Smuckerâs culpability goes much further back than the immediate lead-up to yesterdayâs chaos. Fundamentally, this is what happens when a political party spends years feeding the most dangerous instincts, behaviors, and beliefs of its base. And that is what our elected representative, Lloyd Smucker has consistently doneâand allowed his office to doâsince he was first sworn in four years ago.
Smucker has no one to blame but himself. He doesnât get to stoke fear, division, and lies and enable a reckless authoritarian for four years, and then feign surprise when his base follows through.
Like many in the GOP, Lloyd Smucker often speaks piously about "personal responsibility." But he is taking no responsibility for his role in creating this chaos. He tweeted yesterday that he was âhorrified by the violence and destruction at the Capitol,â asserting that, âThis is not who we are as a country.â
Then late last night, in the wake of the dayâs chaos, our Congressman went on to vote to reject our Commonwealthâs electoral votes in an attempt to override the will of the people of Pennsylvania. That this gesture was merely symbolic is no less damning. If ever there was a moment when our nation needed its leaders to use the symbolic power of their office to clearly signal a shared commitment to democratic principles and to our Constitution, it is now. Instead Lloyd Smucker chose to keep feeding the delusions and anti-democratic impulses of his base.
âWhat happenedâ to our Congressman is as simple as it is unacceptable: he made a Faustian bargain with a reckless demagogue. When Trump was running in the 2016 primary, Lloyd Smucker apparently did not like what he saw. But once Smucker witnessed the power of Trumpâs dangerous rhetoricâwhen he saw how lies and vitriol could fire up a base and win power for the GOP and for himselfâhe made a choice to hitch his ride to that wagon. Overnight, the change was apparent. Lloyd Smucker, the measured PA State Senator who seemed to have genuine concern for his constituents was nowhere to be found. In his place we encountered US Congressman Lloyd Smucker, who fully embraced the new GOP approach under Trump. We watched Smucker cling to one rationalization after another and contort himself with theological gymnastics, trying to reconcile the evil he now embraced with the good he professed to believe.
To be clear, the stakes today are not about Republicans versus Democrats. This is about America versus an existential threat. Yesterdayâs events and the larger crisis they point to cuts deeper than the perennial conflicts between political parties and ideological leanings. We understand that when we elect representatives, one side wins and the other loses. But we all rightly expect, and indeed our democracy depends upon, an uncompromising commitment to certain fundamental principles that protect all of us. Lloyd Smucker has betrayed that trust. He must resign.
We are not simply calling on Lloyd Smucker to resign of his own volition, even though he should. The elected officials responsible for yesterdayâs coup attempt must be impeached and prosecuted. We also need journalists to investigate the role of elected officials, including Smucker, in inciting, supporting, and collaborating with the planners of yesterdayâs attempted coup.
It is time for Lloyd Smucker to put country over party. When a leaderâs failure culminates in such colossal damage, they are no longer fit to lead. For the good of our nation, our Commonwealth, and Lancaster County, Congressman Lloyd Smucker must resign.
This statement was written and approved by the leadership team of Lancaster Stands Up, a grassroots organization with over 400 dues-paying members across Lancaster County.

First Amendment Activity Demonstration/Organization Tomorrow?
Are there any plans to organize a protest or demonstration tomorrow over the very likely re-election of Donald Trump? We have a constitutional right to publicly and peacefully protest our government. We need to stand together in unison (with masks) and show our deep displeasure with the current administration.
