But if you’d like to find out for yourself, wear a keffiyeh or wave a trans flag at the next No Kings protest. Make sure you have bail and someone to get you out. The organizers are having the cops detain leftists. And do not put your name on their attendee list. Don’t help them compile a list of anti-fascist citizens. The No Kings/50501 org leaders have been openly coordinating with law enforcement. Which shouldn’t be surprising, since the org leaders are all former congressional staffers. https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/atlanta/no-kings-organizers-working-with-law-enforcement-hopes-peaceful-protest-saturday/2WTYSECXN5CRHPFN43CBLWBOLQ/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) Some of my friends were at the last one, covered in trans flags.
