Reminder not to sign up to these demos and just rock up. They are likely to be a bit of a joke but it might be a good spot to find an affinity group who you can organize stuff thats halfway decent with in future.
Expect cops to be pushy and violent so make sure you are mobile which means to just wear dark clothing and a mask rather than an inflatable unicorn etc. like the libs have been doing lately.

You had me until "the libs" 🤦🏼♂️🤢

It sounds very valuable that the article suggests using an annoucement-only Signal loop through a burner phone.
Do you think that these burners should get checked through a Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) for spyware? I ask this because, at least in europe in some cases, these burners are used for extended periods of time.

Hopefully, the leadership of these protests starts asking people to do more than stand around with signs, hoping that the fascists just quit on their own.

They will absolutely not. But nothing stops us from helping the people they're leading realize that they need an escalation plan, and leadership will not ever give them one.
The first 50501 was completely self-organized before being co-opted by DNC adjacent orgs. Those orgs may not be able to control the protests forever, especially if we have a say in it.

No god no master 🤟🤟🤟
Everyone of us in my bloc know NKP is counterinsurgency:
The organizers quite literally killed a protestor. Banned people of color.(🔗P) And had law enforcement surveillance.
Organize, mask up, arm up, and free an ICE facility. Don't bring traceables.
What’s the banned people of color thing about?
I can't seem to find it again (it's been 6+months), but several folks with high Melanin were prohibited from attending 50501 events. I didn't think bsky would just delete all the posts regarding them, or hide them.
fully agreed. I think the link for the "law enforcement surveillance" is broken. It just takes to a removed Bluesky "hashtag" for "NoKings"
You have to scroll all the way down to the video and photos of the prior protests this year. Dunno if bsky has
