I'm just going to say this. If you attend the protest at COP in Atlanta tomorrow, please know that EVERY experienced organisers in the city BEGS people not to hold protests in that area, because it is a massive kettle trap for groups that don't know how to avoid them. - ThreadSky

I absolutely DO NOT trust whomever is running that to know how to keep people safe at it. That location alone tells me better than that.

Mhm. Or possibly just well meaning folks who are unknowingly being co-opted.
I'm just. So tired of it.

I'm not telling you not to go. I'm telling you that you're going to have to have your own back and BE CAREFUL.

I've seen a couple posts about potential traps claiming to be protests. I suspect they're going to work to round up the most vocal and active of the resistance.

Nope. Theyre going to target new folks who have no experience, and grind them in the gears like they did before. It wears down turnout.
I also suspect the various signup and registrations are being used to gather info on folks to target for retribution and investigation.

And lists. Don't forget those watchlists. (I'm fairly certain I'm on at least one or two.)

I hate to tell you, you're on at least one just beause you know me. But that's been the case most of my life <3
