Happily married grandma.
Mostly here for politics and good journalism.
Sometimes a funny meme or two.
My dogs keep me sane.
These guys. Our military is being used to support these guys.
We are truly in the upside down.

No Kings, huge protest in Salem Oregon! Great turnout. Loud and boisterous but peaceful. Police looked like they were taking a nap, lounging on their motorcycles glancing at the protest occasionally between yawns.

Don’t sit.
The ACLU and 50501 advise against sitting at a protest.
You head is at a more vulnerable level for less lethal weapons and tear gas canniters.
Tear gas sinks
You can’t get out of the way quickly if you need to
Let organizers deal with agitators
Move away.

June 14, 2025 at 6:21 AM
Yup
June 14, 2025 at 6:20 AM
Yes!
ACLU and 50501 are both advising against it. Those sit down posts really went viral.
June 14, 2025 at 6:18 AM
Yes, and both the ACLU and 50501 are advising against it. It’s viral anyway, Ugh.
June 14, 2025 at 6:16 AM
ACLU and 50501 advise you NOT to sit down. Sitting puts your head at greater risk. Tear gas flows down.
“Heads on swivels” is good advice. Keep an eye on what’s going on and move away from agitators. Inform organizers about them if you can.
June 13, 2025 at 1:35 PM
Not what ACLU or 50501 are advising.
Literally keep your head up! Sitting puts your head in more danger from rubber bullets and tear gas is heavier than air so it sinks.
Sitting in a panicked crowd puts you in danger.
Stay alert, move away from agitators.
June 12, 2025 at 10:14 PM
Other 50501 organizers as well as the ACLU are advising against sitting down. You might want to rethink this.
June 12, 2025 at 5:58 PM
Sitting down is not recommended by the ACLU or 50501
It’s dangerous, your head is more likely to be hit by rubber bullets or tear gas canisters and tear gas sinks.
June 12, 2025 at 11:47 AM
Not recommended by the ACLU or 50501 because 1. Your head is more likely to be hit by rubber bullets or tear gas canisters if you are sitting.
2. Tear gas sinks
