    Remember, folks: avoid attempts by bad actors to turn your peaceful legal protest into a riot, 47’s itching for an excuse to invoke martial law and seize more power. Disable biometrics on any phone you bring. Make sure someone knows where you’re going and is waiting to hear you made it home. Don’t post pictures or videos that identify people, who may be risking a lot more than you by being there. You don’t want to be the reason ICE disappears someone. Protect yourself from teargas but also from plain old sunburn and dehydration.

      it really doesn’t matter because Trump doesn’t care about or relate to actual fact for anything. HOWEVER, it is critically important that you get to the protest and start connecting to other protestors on Signal before the crackdown happens

      Itching, he wants to invoke it, using specifically the insurrection act of 1807, tomorrow they may push it earlier then 90 days since it was always part of project 2025 and also due the senate most likely passing a bill to limit his power for tariff by needing approval from them to be used, so they enact it just a bit earlier to make sure national emergency still exist. Don’t be surprised if it is invoked as this was always planned as part of project 2025.

          Problem is, 47, his henches, the entire GOP and cops in general have zero ability to feel shame or remorse, and nobody who does has the power to stop them. I think protesting peacefully but being ready to run and scatter seems to increase the likelihood you’ll live to protest again.
