On this important day of mobilization, don't be scared off by self-appointed experts giving you a bunch of rules for how to protest or what not to do. The most important thing we need is more people in the streets, period. Our safety comes from numbers. As a criminal defense lawyer for decades...

this is the entire reason we are fucking fighting for our freedoms here. the fact that you have convinced yourself it was always this bad does not make it true. you are now in danger of the government pretextually arresting you because the government is now corrupt in a way it wasn’t before

i think what people are really circling around in this particular slapfight is two visions of how resistance works
1: we're going to out-tactics the government and create a secure organization that defeats them on the field
2: we're going to create spectacle which mobilizes the masses

there is no way any person can sufficiently protect themselves against a hostile, oppressive, fascist government finding a pretext to take them into custody. the people the government charges are not primarily being charged bc they were not careful about opsec.

Elect more Democrats & keep electing them. It's the only good voting advice left
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

you are not trying to be unseen. people trying to be unseen stick out, and unless you do it perfectly it will not work. you are trying to seem basically the same as everyone else, as much as that is possible

not even highly repressive regimes try to track down every individual protester. you are not trying to leave no signature. that is an unusual signature. you are trying to maximize the mutual entropy of your signature with a person who does not get arrested.

Elon Musk has publicly claimed he never visited Epstein's island and barely knew the man.
New documents show Musk emailing Epstein in Dec 2013: "Is there a good time to visit?"
Epstein: "always space for you"
This was 5 years after Epstein's 2008 conviction and sex offender registration.

The only reason to demand a census not count people is because you want those people to not be seen as people
NEW: Missouri sued the U.S. Census Bureau to stop it from counting undocumented immigrants in the decennial census count — a change that, if implemented, could greatly decrease political representation and even affect major election outcomes.
New GOP scheme to rig presidential elections: Missouri sues to exclude undocumented from census

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!
