#Resist
Screenshot of a plain text post that reads: Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King posted this advice as the next 6 months are going to "get real". 1. Don't use his name, EVER (47 will do) 2. Remember this is a regime and he is not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him-it doesn't work, 4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orange-ness and his mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow; 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; And 10. Resist! When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration" or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the attention he craves.

Image shows a screenshot of a quote-Tweet from J. K. Rowling, replying to the question: "What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?" Rowling's quote in her reTweet reads "Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistable." Followed by three laughing emojis. Text above the image is from kandice_martellaro, and reads "If you're planning to watch that HBO Harry Potter series, I really hope you understand two things: 1.) She pushed this reboot is(sic) because the original cast have publicly supported the transgender community and she wants a "do-over" that doesn't involve them. 2.) Putting money into her pocket WILL directly harm transgender folks and specifically transgender kids. She uses her wealth to block bills that would protect trans youth. It's different than just hate speech (which is bad enough.)

Image is a four-piece comic about avoiding police "kettles" at protests. The comic it titled "How to spot a kettle". First panel shows police surrounding a protest and blocking side streets, and the text reads "Police may try to surround the march on all sides in a 'kettle'." Second panel shows a protester sitting in front of a line of police in riot gear, and the text reads "If you're kettled, they might hold you there for hours...[They often lie about when they're gonna let you go.]" Third panel shows police with batons pinning a protester to the ground, and the text reads "...or even arrest everyone." Fourth panel shows protesters avoiding a kettle by walking away from the initial police line, and points out a prisoner transport bus the police have parked down a nearby side street. The text reads "If you see a kettle coming, the safest exit is usually back the way you came."

In an era where digital privacy is more important than ever, it would be great if people using privacy-focused browsers were able to access the site many of the protests are listed on. As of now, redirects to events.pol-rev.com use Cloudflare, which refuses private browser connections.
Screenshot of a browser redirect page linking to events.pol-rev.com. Text reads "Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds. events.pol-rev.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding." The page footer reads "Performance & security by Cloudflare" with a link to Cloudflare.
