Of course everyone has to make their own choice and I certainly understand and respect your decision, I'm choosing the opposite and will stand in your place and loudly decry the injustices that we're undergoing. Great idea about faces on videos. A greater safety is found in massive visibility,unity

>>> Act in such a way that Future You will be *proud* of your answer when ensuing generations ask: "What did YOU do?" in this perilous, pivotal moment.

RESIST! For as long as it takes.

A mask?
I am not afraid, I will show my face proudly.

Unless someone is agitating and being violent, definitely make noise and film it. They’re probably a paid agitator or a federal plant.

Stay as far as you can from people who are spoiling for a fight.

Assume all cops and counter-protestors are spoiling for a fight.

(The folks who should ignore this last already know who they are; if you haven't trained for that, avoid confrontation, and avoid people who are trying to start shit)

I feel like they somehow weren't expecting this today. (I don't know if it was reputable, but I saw someone say the NYPD only deployed 44 officers? No verification, but it FELT true - almost no police presence, much less than any other protest I've been to. Volunteers handled traffic control.)

I'm afraid the next one might not be so easy. But I'll take any win.

I'm guessing part of it is these ones weren't criminalized from jump or treated as riots waiting to happen because they weren't seen as primarily POC-led racial justice protests.

But yeah I'm guessing they didn't see the scale of it coming

My disabled ass is staying home because cops will kill me if someone near me calls them names.

I wish I had the 1A right to assemble, but as long as cops carry and use lethal chemical weapons, I don't.

If we're pals and you need an off-site contact, DM me.

I'm an able bodied middle aged middle class white lady. I figure it's my job to get out there for everyone who can't.
