Awesome! In the US, a nationwide protest is organized for Wednesday.
Boost this because Trump deserves it.

Lots, depending on the state and likelihood of state violence.
Certainly water, high calorie snacks, maybe a burner phone loaded with key phone numbers & emails (emergency contacts, attorney,...) instead of your regular phone with lots of sensitive data.
Warm layers of clothing (more or less depending on where you live.
Government ID, medical insurance, a bit of cash, 1 credit card (or not ID if you want to make it difficult for the man).

Milk for tear gas. Thanks for the prompt.
He's untouchable, remember? So nothing changes, no matter how many people flood the street, which is sad. And after his term a court will state that he's too old to be prosecuted. I root for them though.
Dems should have gone voting. And i'm pi**ed that this clown gets so much media attention, even here in Europe. Half the news pages are full of his sh*t and they can't report fast enough. Even more disgusting.
I want one week without the name Trump anywhere.

@markwyner @JDGeoShack this "5050" series of protests is fake. It's being pushed out by trolls and bots.
This Reddit post explains, point by point, how you can recognize its fakeness.
Anytime you're planning to attend a local protest, rally, or action, check with established trusted local organizers first. Make sure there are permits and safety measures in place.

Okay, so yesterday I posted a query about this "fifty capitols fifty marches" planned for Wednesday Feb 5th in Augusta. I thank those who provided me with clues as to what is happening, because they led me to figure out who was behind this effort....
At some point and this pace of measures he will face discussion on impeachment soon…
Eventually, the billionaires funding Trump's fascist movement must face a reckoning as well.
Backsliding democracy doesn't go away until the fossil fuel money funding it goes away.
If people are at all concerned about who is organizing these protests and whether or not they are legitimate, they can instead join Indivisible groups across the country who have organized visits to and protests at US Senate offices across the country on Wednesday and Thursday.

Ah, how good is this?! 💖
And I really appreciate that you mention your sources 😊 like in this case, @MontyRunner
I'm involved in my local 50501 protest. It's being left up to the state/location to be organized on its own. I wouldn't assume it's a trap but I would also make sure you feel comfortable with who is running it. In many cities, established organizations have stepped up to run it. Those names aren't being publicly shared because a lot of conversation is on Signal. For many places it hasn't been intentional. I encourage everyone to look into their local one if interested and vet it out and get involved!!
@randahl @[email protected] Let’s give that protest some more loving:

The 50501 protest looks for real. I wish I could be there.

@randahl @MontyRunner idk these organizers and I do not trust a protest without knowing who is doing it, what they intend to accomplish, and what protections are in place for the protesters.
Choosing it for a wednesday? With less than a week to prepare? This reeks of deliberate undercutting + opportunity for bad actors to false flag attack.
I have a _really_ bad feeling about this.
@peterjriley2024 @randahl @MontyRunner
Not a word about it on MSNBC this afternoon, other than the odd congressional soundbite at USAID.
eta: Finally Rachel Maddow brought them up.

On the 5th of February, protests were held in state capitals, aimed at being in ALL state capitals against the Trump/Musk financial and data coup. One of these was held in #Tallahassee, FL (see video)
Note that the #Musk protests at least in DC and probably everywhere have been turning out people you do NOT normally see at protests!
When the general public starts turning out in the street, this troubles a policy-or a ruler.

Demonstrators have gathered in cities across the U.S. to protest the Trump administration’s early actions. They're decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Protesters in Philadelphia and at state capitols in Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana and beyond on Wednesday waved signs denouncing President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk and the hard-right playbook for American government and society called Project 2025. The protests were a result of a movement that has organized online under the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501, which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day.
