leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January


to be fair, if that’s the way shit goes down there isn’t a single thing you can do (not to be surveilled that is) because we’ve all been on “the list” since the moment we got cell phones and a Facebook or Reddit account. And the moment your workplace got cameras inside or outside. Maybe even before you started working there.
My point being that showing up to these events if you choose to isn’t any more dangerous than surfing the internet at home when it comes to surveillance, or driving along the highway/walking down the street. The moment they start rounding up people for what’s on their phones we’re all the target. Just cuz you have a vpn or something doesn’t mean your posts/phone isn’t findable.
Not trying to scare anyone btw just giving my take on people saying be careful about protests in this way, even just going to work you are surveilled in the same way.
