AltFDA has got you covered on the best ways to upgrade that awesome costume we all know you bought!👇

AltFDA @altfda.altgov.info · 6h

I absolutely love how the inflatable costume is taking off for protest! It offers protection in so many fucking ways but if they go into battle, we will need to level the costumes up for extended dancing in tear gas smoke. Let’s talk 🧵🧵🧵🧵

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Write it down if you need to!
Wearing an inflatable costume? Duct tape a few personal talking points to the inside of your costume for you to reference if you freeze up.

You may think the chances of a reporter walking up to you & asking you questions are extremely slim but it can STILL happen!

For this Saturday’s #NoKings protest I have one small piece of advice from a socially awkward introvert.
ESPECIALLY useful if you’re planning to have any eye catching signs/costumes/etc!

Prepare for if you’re approached by a reporter!
Why are you there? What are you protesting for/against?

for over four months I’ve reported as Trump has put troops and federal agents in cities across America. more than ever I’m seeing and hearing from people pushing back — standing up for immigrants, democracy and members of our military who don’t want this.

Things to be aware of:

Agent provocateurs.

If there are people who are dressed in black, start pushing a more violent protest: They Are The Enemy.

I was contacted by a follower who has created a series of #KilroyWasHere items based on some of the Kilroy designs that have been shared by #AltGov.
It's pretty cool to see Kilroy become available to followers by followers.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

So you don’t actually need a kit.(But Amazon sells a few) Just a container/tin with holes that will let the scent out. A cotton pad/ball to put inside the container if the scent is liquid. Some dog training experience or willingness to track down and watch some YouTube videos. And lots of Treats!!🐕‍🦺
