There are no protests scheduled for DC, purposely; there are 1800 protests elsewhere in the country.

This is intentional, to deny Trump any even remotely-legitimate claim of overwhelming support, because you know he would misconstrue large crowd sizes as yuge support and therefore he has a mandate. We need to strip him of crowds.

This, 100%.

Also if the strategy was to deploy his private militia of Jan 6ths, they will be drowned as a powerless minority outside of DC. Same about National Guards: he could deploy them in DC to increase risks of violence like in LA.

It’s America everywhere standing up to him.

It’s a very clever and wise move from the organizers.

Did anyone here watch Wyatt Russell admonish the National Guard in LA? It gave me a glimmer of hope.

Apparently it was not him but it does not matter. It was about the content, not the person.

Doesn’t matter who that person was. That is what I read. It’s the content not the celebrity.

Did I say that it matters? I was just correcting misstatements from people who apparently think it *does* matter. Oh wait ... that was you. Why mention who it was if it doesn't matter who it was? Feh on intellectual dishonesty.

If you are a National Guard or Active Duty Military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens, then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support; you don't have to go through with it.

1-877-447-4487.

This is really important. Because the only way through, when the commander in chief has cracked, the protectors of the constitution are the firewall. It's why they make a pledge to defend the Constitution and not the president.

Don't follow illegal orders, especially if you are being told to attack your own citizens.

If you don't know your own history, go to a library and read about it. If you need help finding the information, ask the librarian for help.

Citizen transgressions are dealt with by civilian law authorities, NOT the military. Look at what kind of uniform you are wearing.

No protests in DC. Stay away. He wants any excuse to thwart any protests (bc we don’t have that right anymore & it might detract from the spectacle he’s trying to create) & has said he will use force.

People are concerned bad actors may try to infiltrate protesters, to incite violence and destroy the resistance.

The bad actors could be:

ICE agents, federal undercover law enforcement, or intelligence officers

Proud Boys, political operatives, or extremist groups

Corporate or foreign agents, anarchists, or individuals acting irrationally

But there are more good guys out there than the Miserable Trump Masters:

People like you

Plainclothes city officers, journalists, medics, event volunteer spotters, and community safety groups keeping protests peaceful & protected

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Key Rules for Protest Security:

Choose protest locations carefully, and avoid areas expected to be heavily infiltrated.

Trump's parade plan was to concentrate resistance leaders and their best people into one place, so they could be easily detained and deported.

Since then, Indivisble has called DC protests off. Now, Trump has nobody to arrest there. But, he still needs to keep his quasimilitary there, INCASE anybody shows up.

Meanwhile, DC protesters can move to, and join another protest outside of DC, effectively forcing Trump to tie up his people in DC for nothing.

Bring message signage to the protest. Someone without a sign, that's lugging weapons or fire-starting materials in overloaded backpacks or sports equipment bags is suspicious.

If they do not look, or act like they belong, compared to what other people are doing, move away from the area and put lots of distance between you and them.

Bring a separate digital camera with a display screen. Phones broadcast locations, standalone cameras don’t. A phone can be confiscated from your hands when you show a picture of an incident.

Put phones in Airplane Mode before arriving to prevent cell tower activity logs. Airplane mode disables the phone from trying to connect to your courier. You won't be able to receive or make calls. But, you won't be tracked either.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

What to Do If You Spot an Infiltrator

🚨 Move away and do NOT engage with them

📷 Take pictures discreetly, especially of suspicious activity or identifiable markings, and report them immediately to venue security.

📢 Continuously shout for help to attract attention if they pursue you. Any security teams amongst the protest crowd will respond.

🆔 Demand ID if someone claims to be security. If there is no way to establish their identity through a name tag, badge number, or EMPLOYER ID, it means they’re operating as a private citizen, even if they are a real cop.

If someone is being taken down by ICE, there is not much you can do to help the victim, as the ICE agent is likely not alone. They work in co-ordinated teams of four young, tall, fit people, whose posture looks like they are always ready to sprint. At the same time, they are hoovering and quickly glancing at everything, while giving body signals to each other, and not saying much.

That's why it's better to leave the area when you notice any suspicious behavior (of an ICE agent).

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Stay aware of your surroundings, document wisely, and keep protests peaceful.

We resist by conveying a highly visible unified message.

Not by aggression to cause chaos.

For No Kings Day: swim goggles in case of tear gas, traffic cones to catch the canisters, saline not milk for tear gas, mask for face, yoga mat for torso (rubber bullets), masking tape to tape yoga mat to body, trash can lid to deflect canisters and rubber bullets. And all on Amazon !! Like the fake ICE uniforms for fake ICE officers.👍

Please spread the word - protests in DC called off so he can't use them to either pretend he got support, or use them as a pretext to turn the military against protesters. Find a protest anywhere else: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=50501

This will have the secondary effect of bruising his tiny, fragile little ego, since he won't get the attention he so desperately craves. Let little donny's pitiful little party look as empty and sad as his shriveled heart.

Anywhere but DC! He will use your presence as a claim there was “the biggest crowd” even if it’s a lie, and you will be taking unnecessary risks.

By using the word “protest,” translation: anyone carrying a sign saying “down with Trump” can be met with heavy force. The famous “Tank Man” who blocked a line of Chinese tanks in 1989 would be simply run over.
