the feds already have a direct feed of everything via the firehose

their arrival here is for intimidation or propaganda purposes (ie visa threat made by State Dept account)

blocking them all immediately eliminates their ability to make everyone see their weird little videos and flaccid quote dunks

anyway with the feds here i would advise you to not post any plans about anything you wouldn't like the feds to associate you with

that includes building azorious control

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.

Don't sit or kneel in front of riot cops. Sitting puts your head at rubber bullet height. Sitting makes it hard to run away from vehicle attacks.

Don't point protesters out to the cops. Don't hand protesters over to the cops.

Mind your business. What did you see? You didn't see shit.

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up.

Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other.

We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.

Do not listen to this person, they do not know what they are talking about.

Sitting down in the face of police violence will get you hurt, trampled, or arrested. Or all three.

Tomorrow if you see violence sit down immediately. This bears repeating.

we are not having a lot of luck with institutional pushback - everyone who does is fired and replaced

we are definitely not having any luck with “norms”

what we are having luck with is ordinary people looking at the incompetent bullshit put in front of them and going “absolutely not”

Bringing this back again. I know some of you will come home saying "see nothing bad happened" not knowing that some bad things actually DID happen.

Please listen to experienced activists and organizers. They've been doing this longer than you have. Police are not your friends and not on your side.

Sheryl's basic rules for protesting.

(This isn't legal advice. The whole point is to NOT need me. Also, if you're a person who won't suffer any harm from going to a protest no matter what you do, congratulations! Most people aren't so privileged, and stop thinking you're the default.)

When we're having a trauma response, our nervous system doesn't need to be told "calm down" or "you're fine."

It needs to be told "I'm here"-- & it needs to experience that it's not alone against this fear or pain.

Presence. Not just words.

A Republican prosecutor in Tarrant County, Texas is BIG MAD that a jury slapped down their felony charges against a drag show defender, so they keep filing new charges to take to trial. Please help my friend if you can against malicious prosecution.

Being innocent is expensive as hell. We need to raise about $2000 to order court transcripts for my upcoming trial and are giving away some stuff to help meet that need. Please share!
