The No Kings movement has warned of “increasing political tensions and military presence” ahead of their next day of action.
The grassroots protest group hosted a 90-minute safety and security training on Thursday to help protest hosts “practice deescalation for any scenarios that may arise” before their scheduled protests against President Donald Trump on October 18.
not surprised considering there saying no kings protestors and antifa are terrorists now and there thinking of invoking the insurrection act and have basicly ensued martial law with the military meeting thing without saying it out loud. so whatever happens with this protests could dictate everything. it would show if protests will even work anymore or not. plus trump also said to his supporters yelling at them to do something

Keep an eye out for bad actors. They will come.
Edit:
MAGA has been on media calling out this protest. They are already building their narrative. Do not let them. Watch out for police kettling as well. They will pull out any and all stops for this protest.

And for anyone going do not bring kids or animals with you, This could turn violent or even tragic if Trump gets his way so plan accordingly.

The Epstein guy has just claimed that agents from “Biden’s FBI” (much before Biden was President) had infiltrated the Jan 6 riot. This is how you know he intends to have agents from “his” FBI infiltrate the protests, for whatever purpose they are ordered to fulfill.

I’ll be attending a No Kings protest march in the college town where my youngest attends school. Local law enforcement has been chill during previous marches, so I don’t expect any trouble. It’s a good opportunity to meet people of a similar mindset and to feel less alone. During previous marches, there’s always been one yahoo in a boosted truck driving around with American flags in the bed, trying to start shit. We don’t pay him any attention, and he usually loses interest quickly.

Erik Prince of Blackwater infamy is training people to infiltrate democratic groups. One of those trainees is a former FBI agent named Jared Wise, who now works in the DoJ’s “Weaponization Working Group” alongside two Russian assets, Ed Martin and Michael Caputo. They are all close to trump. Expect them to be infiltrating the No Kings protests, using all of the surveillance capabilities and resources of the DoJ and FBI.
As an FBI agent, Jared Wise was in the crowd on Jan. 6, inciting the terrorists to attack the Capitol. trump pardoned him then hired him at the DoJ. This is what trump was projecting about earlier today.
>Mr. Wise later joined the conservative group Project Veritas under the supervision of a former British spy, Richard Seddon, who had been recruited by the security contractor Erik Prince to train operatives to infiltrate trade unions, Democratic congressional campaigns and other targets. At Project Veritas, according to a former employee with direct knowledge of his employment, Mr. Wise used the code name Benghazi and trained at the Prince family ranch in Wyoming with other recruits. Mr. Wise was among a group of Project Veritas operatives assigned to infiltrate teacher unions in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Kentucky, according to the former employee. Mr. Seddon oversaw the operation.
>Caputo, who describes Trump’s longtime adviser, Roger Stone, as akin to a “big brother” and mentor, has known the president since the 1980s. During that decade, he worked for the DC lobbying firm headed by Stone and Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. Caputo’s career also took him abroad. A veteran, Caputo worked for a USAID-funded endeavor that consulted on the election process in Russia in the 1990s. He ended up living in the country and working on public relations for various politicians and businesses in Russia and Ukraine through the early 2000s.

The other side, led by Bondi, Kash, the Puppy Killer and Mr. $50k, aims to throw gasoline on any little spark they can find.
Tell me…. who are the terrorists?

It’s nearly impossible to have a large protest now without an incident. To be fair, these things have been useless. Without pressure directly put on congressmen these events are meaningless.

They are trying to scare people into staying home.
Miller will send his vipers, watch out for the fangs. Many Maga media influencers are signed-up to help create a catalyst (and those are just a few of the ones you can “see”).
Stand your ground peacefully, but do not fall for the venom. Protect yourself; record “everything”. If you can afford it, purchase/use hidden cameras and microphones. Look up frequently, get images/video of their actions on rooftops as well. It will help identify the bad actors/instigators for state prosecutors.
No kings. None of his *pawns* either.

People: keep this in mind when you hear about the Trump admin talk about these protests
The organizers have consistently emphasized a commitment to nonviolence and have even trained “peacekeepers” to de-escalate potential conflicts during their rallies.
The Trump admin has done nothing but throw fuel on the situation.

Is the play that people picked up as “antifa” at these protests get a felony domestic terrorism charge in an effort to purge liberals from voting rolls?

Trump is telling his followers to “do something”.
Be mindful of bad actors.
shadrackandthemandem on
I’m of two minds on this.
In the one hand, agents provocateurs are only effective if the crowds take the bait and join in. Peaceful protestors just need to try to de-escalate or move away from trouble makers if de-escalate doesn’t work.
But on the other hand, why should people resisting very real fascism limit each other to peaceful protest? Or even non-violent-but-disruptive direct action?

Repeating myself for the umpteenth time for the confused liberals who can’t make the distinction:
There is no such thing as a peaceful protest, protests are meant to be disruptive!
What you really mean is a peaceful demonstration. Marching with signs, inside permitted zones, not stepping out of line… Drums and dancing and a lot of “hey ho”.
Protests are what follows when demonstrations get you nowhere.
djsirround on
This protest is going to be another 2 hour walk thru your city on a pre approved route by your local police department. Expect lots of clever signs. I would hope it could be transformative but I truly believe that unless this amount of people are willing to continue the protest day in and day out it’s simply a minor blip. One big protest every couple months won’t do anything.

I’m not naive, but I’m going to put a positive spin on this. The increasingly hostile and inflammatory rhetoric aimed at No Kings and Indivisible by the Trump administration shows how afraid they are of us. We’re growing in power. So, of course their only tactic is to call us terrorists. They project their own failings on to us, just as they always have. We must be extra vigilant on Saturday for those who may try to goad us. But, we cannot, cannot fall into their trap. For now, non-violent resistance is our only course.
