useful info from labor movements: "Working to rule means carrying out your contractual obligations to the letter...Most importantly, it means not working any longer than you are legally required to – which means 35 hours per week for most full-time people." unitethefca.org/working-to-r...

Hi, reporter who actually covers protests here: 50501 is not an op and people spreading panic like this is stupid. It originated on Reddit (www.reddit.com/r/50501/) and you don’t need the backing of a “major org” to organize jack. It’s a call for people to mobilize, not riot. Chill out.

lot of outlets are doing this smug Return To Norms framing but it just makes Dems look impotent. If the norms mean you can stoke a riot to steal an election without any consequences then just… run again (the ‘heads I win, tails you lose’ principle) then the norms are politically and morally bad!
