Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I would really, really urge you: if this is not your work, if you have not been in this stuff for years, stifle your urge to speak over the folks actually running these groups, actually putting these protests together, actually responsible for keeping people safe.
You are speaking out of turn.

I am hearing folks who have never been involved in putting together a protest or protecting one talking about how silly and frivolous "opsec" concerns are, and I want to say directly: you have no idea what you are talking about.
People have been killed for getting made famous by the press.

Right now, MSP activists are getting a ton of extremely sympathetic press coverage; Will's ride-alongs have worked in everyone's favor. Will talking about what he's doing has encouraged other people to get involved.
I have begged over and over for other rapid responders to talk to press; I often end up doing it anyway because my risk tolerance is high and I’m already targeted. I always, always make the terms of press engagement clear: no other observer can be identified in any way.
@whstancil.bsky.social engage with media thoughtfully and keep comrades safe or let someone else do it. the movement will be just fine without your clout chasing

Use separate cars for rapid response and mutual aid. That one really is important
Don’t use your full legal name as your Signal display name. Assume your Signal chats are public & don’t talk about crimes or share sensitive info you wouldn’t want screenshotted by a reporter or read out loud in court

Queer and trans people have been at the forefront of this fight because we are extremely aware of the need for solidarity across oppressions and a lot of us have nothing left to lose so fuck it, we ball.

lol they really tried it again. must suck when your newspaper needs on the ground footage and testimony from a movement who aren’t capitulating scum who hate people having bodily autonomy and self determination rights
A NYT reporter wanted to speak to me about what's happening in Minneapolis and I told them unequivocally no due to the NYT's role in creating the environment that has done so much harm to trans youth.

What @prisonculture.bsky.social always says is: find the thing you can do and do it. You can’t do all the things. (Or something like that but more eloquent). I remind myself when I feel I should be writing marching observing delivering organizing meeting reporting shopping
I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:
Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
