      This is a lot of valuable information and since my post is now old (quite dead) no one will have access to this in here.

      So, it’s better if you create a new post with these informations.

    “We the people” voted for it! There was no big reveal after the election; it was well known that Project 2025 was the goal. Anyone who says otherwise had their head in the sand for the last 6 months.

      A lot of Trump voters are horribly uninformed. They didn’t know - and still don’t know - what Project 2025 is. They thought it was fearmongering because they only heard about it from Dems. They have no idea what’s happening right now, nor do they care. All they know is their team won, and they’re otherwise tuned out. Maybe they’ll wake up when they feel the effects, but they’ll probably just blame Democrats because Fox News tells them to.

    just saying, this seems really sketchy folks.

    some tips to help you out

    • don’t take your phones to the protest
    • if you take a burner, don’t take it home. buy it, and trash it at the protest.
    • don’t take anything that could identify you as you
    • superglue and baking soda on your fingerprints. don’t go crazy, just enough to make printing you impossible/difficult
    • write any important phone numbers on your arm or ankle in permanent marker if you can’t remember them
    • stuff a couple hundred dollars for bail in your shoe
    • don’t give ANYONE your real name. don’t care how hot they are or how impassioned they are, just fucking don’t
    • designate one trusted individual to come get you from jail. they are not to bring their phone, they should park at least 1/4 mile away and walk to get you(long enough to realize you’re being tailed by police).

    pay attention to your surroundings, specifically the movement of officers/agents. if they’re running you should be too. if there’s a large group marching or a wall marching, leave immediately and regroup.

    ICE will be there. they will be picking people up. many of them not illegal. if you’re not white, wear makeup if you can get away with it. paint your face with state colors if need be. not a mask, so it shouldn’t be covered by “no-mask” states.

    know your rights. bring the proof of your rights. force them to acknowledge your rights.

    stream everything.

    if you are picked up you will;

    • go on a list
    • be unlawfully monitored
    • become a link in a larger web to ensnare organizers

    you will go dark for at least a month. no social media posts about the protests, no discussions about the protests, nothing. after that, it should be difficult to pair your online activity with your real world activities.

    if you can’t make it to the protests, record the streams, share them online, pressure the public to demand answers for the crimes committed by the officers/agents.

    one last thing.

    there will undoubtedly be people there to provoke the protests. do not let them. once one incident of violence is determined all bets off and the police will become physically involved.

    trust no one, question everything, power to the people. 🫵

      One thing I’d recommend that I’m unsure how to easily obtain, is getting the phone number of a civil rights lawyer ready. It does kind of contradict the point about not bringing phones, I suppose. At the very least, if one is available in the vicinity after attempted arrests it can be useful.

      I also feel somewhat guilty, as I will be attending in a very blue state that’s unlikely to have so much resistance, so I may skirt some of those rules myself.

        I’d say that violent incursion into blue states with the help of federal forces and local brownshirt provocateurs is almost a goal of Project 2025 and MAGA more broadly so I wouldn’t count on it not happening wherever you are. We’ve seen plenty of that kind of thing on the West Coast particularly. Local police unfortunately have a large membership overlap with said brownshirts.

      And based on the deal Trump is doing with Bukele, there’s a chance you could end up getting thrown into an El Salvadorian prison and locked up with MS-13 gangbangers.

            NSA is like John Wick to the current administration. they have far too much dirt on everyone involved right now that they’re more neutral than anything.

            that’s why they haven’t been attacked yet.

            it’s so easy to track a physical person across multiple accounts.

            from the times you post, to your opinions, to the way you write, even misspellings.

            all of it makes a profile of who you are.

            they don’t even need AI to determine that. AI just makes it faster.

            why else would they want $500 billion for meta to build their mega(maga) AI farm?

        Yes.

        I’d like to also tell you about the time an English brigadier responded “pretty sticky down here” when asked about the situation - ~600 Brits were surrounded by ~10k Chinese. Of course, the American General who had asked him didn’t think twice of it, but apparently when a brit says “a bit sticky” it means “we’re all about to die”, not “oh it’s not too bad”. About 40 survived.

        Other favourites:

        “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.”

        The plane was landed safely. But I do imagine the passengers were in some distress at least.

        “We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind.”

      General strikes take a pretty large mass. To build that, a very important step is making sure more people are aware of how many are committed to resistance.

      It’s like being invited to a party, and the host says “Well, you’re one of the first ten people I’ve invited, but I’m encouraging others to share-” and you just reply “Nope, I’m not going unless there’s already a million people going.” Of course, in this case, the protest has been shared outside of just Lemmy, so don’t use local numbers as an indicator.

        Right; what do people expect, here? A “general strike” that someone calls at random won’t do much more than a few extra people calling in sick. It takes time to build solidarity to agree that we’re all going to do this. If we had that kind of solidarity, I don’t think we’d be in this position in the first place.
