I am absolutely *baffled* at the people who seem to think that my problem is that โthe protests arenโt being run by established organizersโ, as if Iโm repping The Manโdo you hear yourselves? Get serious.
The point Iโm making is not โit is definitely a trap,โ it is โthis is fishy, so exercise caution.โ Believe me or donโt.

This post has gone way further than I usually want, so I also want to say:
Please donโt take this as discouragement from being activated. Take it as inspiration to plug into existing local efforts and build trusting relationships with new allies.

Go to Mobilize to find Indivisible organized visits to/protests at offices of US Senators if you want to take to the streets.

So, the reasoning is basically: "Those are not the usual protest guys, seems fishy".
I understand it seems weird when usually, you know who's organizing protests.
Couldn't it also be explained by a new political situation which activates new people. Which may also lead to the messaging to not really be on point.
These protests seem to be gaining traction in progressive circles.
So I wonder: What exactly are you afraid of happening at these protests?

"if you have to sign up to protest, don't"

One of the funnier things is people are dogging on this for many State Capitols being nowhere near the major population centers they're being digitally posted in, like, people were balking about driving down to Oly for something like this that doesn't have any breadcrumbs or clues.
The YLF scamps in 2020 did a helluva lot more and were calling way more spicy up front.

@sayyid_qishta right. like. right. people seem to think that all a good protest needs is enough โจgumptionโจ. the idea that there might be โskillsโ involved? or that more typically goes into planning these than most attendees ever see? or that there are whisper networks? absurd
*best* case scenario, if you look at the subreddits, this thing has been totally taken up by people talking about how theyโre going to get permits and talk to the cops and not wear masks because itโs illegal to cover your face during a protest and do things the Right Way not like those Nasty BLM Protestors
