Please let us know if it starts to fill up. Several of us aren’t planning to be there until the speakers start (unless the seats are filling up).

If you want my official prognosis, here it is: Our oligarchs have declared war on dissent, crushing anyone who dares to step outside their carefully managed propaganda machine. They're in panic mode trying to gaslight us. We must remain cool, calm, and collected. There's more of us than them.

Once you accept they're not the fourth estate anymore, but megaphones to amplify the agendas of their oligarch owners, what they do and say every day makes more sense.
