Know your rights before you hit the streets. Peaceful protest is protected — but only if you know how to protect yourself legally. Read, share, and stay safe.

🧵THREAD: Far right groups, including White Supremacists and violent extremists, have taken notice of the #NoKings protests planned for tomorrow (June 14th), and have responded with extremist rhetoric and calls for violent disruption of protests. 🚨Follow this thread for intel and updates⬇️

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Going to a Protest? Police are Watching! (🧵1/8) by Andrew Greenstone (IG: comicsareforkids) and Ysabel Riina, 2020

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

Important for US activists to understand that laws cannot protect you. Armed soldiers are on the steets. They are violently arresting judges and mayors and US Senators. They are kidnapping people from churches, elementary schools, and hospitals. Your only protection today is anonymity, opsec,

Please look at this before echoing the ignorant take that Americans don't protest anything just because our news won't cover it.

"We are here to liberate this city from [democratically elected leaders]" You may not think you're at war with them, but they're at war with you.

I've OFFICIALLY COMPLETED my pride merch storefront with designs by @lilacaesthete.bsky.social :3 Bumper stickers and tees! 50% of all profits go to a local LGBT organization that has asked not to be named on this launch! streamlabs.com/ibolt07/merch

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

If Trump is willing to illegally roll the military into multiple Democratic states to quell a civil unrest that isn't happening, what do you think he's going to do during an election?

despite everything tumblr remains undefeated as a platform full of the funniest people online fyi

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

This is why many of us on the academic side said that if troops get deployed in to blue cities, they will be used for anything The federal government wants them to do no matter what and they will never leave once stationed in a blue city, it’s an occupation of what they see as enemy territory.

Everybody keeps qualifying their statements. Sending active duty military to "police" anything domestically is the American definition of authoritarian tyranny. Variations are listed multiple times in the Declaration. Stop saying the regime is "getting closer" to anything. They're there!

stay safe! avoid kettles!!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

don’t forget: waymos and other robotaxis are surveillance devices on wheels that police are increasingly tapping for footage

It's funny how they will all admit the Nazis were bad in hindsight, but any current Nazi group is good and "not comparable to Nazis."

Hey if you are ever at a proteest and legitimately see a pallet of bricks? HANDS OFF, THEY ARE A TRAP TO JUSTIFY ESCALATION. The fash are looking for excuses and will try to agitate things via undercovers.

Had an interview for a Social Media Manager role and got the job offer, followed up a bit later and they denied they offered me a job. Incredible. I have the receipts. Anyways I'm still available and more stressed than ever! 😮‍💨

I recently learned it's against the law to leave children below 10 anywhere in public in Ontario. My six year old ass was walking to corner stores a kilometer away in the 90's! We played in the woods all day when it wasn't too hot. Perfectly safe!

Bruh I'd leave the house in the morning and show back up when the lights came on. No lunch. Just outside outside. I was 8.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

For those who might not have twitter anymore here’s the comment he made. I don’t tolerate transphobia and I’m assuming you guys don’t either

Republicans are "planning numerous protests" against a local #Pride celebration in #Florida, stating that neo-fascist group the Proud Boys, which includes open neo-Nazis, "might be making an appearance." For a list of resources on community self-defense, go here: itsgoingdown.org/defendpride
