A lot of online chatter is focusing on the Mexican Flag in the pictures above
This is going to play a certain way for #MAGA, and #FoxNews, etc is going to focus on that and purposefully avoid the American Flags you can see in the crowds as well

'Early Sunday, #Trump wrote on Truth Social that “#MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests.” He wrote, “What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the #NationalGuard for a job well done!”'

There's a lot of violent video out there. I'm going to avoid it, it's lurid. But I want to focus on this video because it speaks to our future:
#Waymo taxis on fire
Going after regular people's cars is dumb. It turns regular people against you
But #Waymos are #robots, easy dumb targets, and there is no threat to human life
Plus they are #corporate #AI assets and represent our growing #enshittification from creepy #techbros
Light 'em up
kauer@benroyce Plus, many insurance policies specifically exclude wars, political unrest and acts of terrorism from their cover. So there is a better than even chance that destruction of private property by protesters will not be covered by the owner's insurance.
i'm just a nobody, not a protest tactician
but:
protesters when they target corporate assets:
big win
protesters when they target regular people's property:
big lose
how things play out in the media and the popular conscience matters, and organized protests need to focus on effective messaging
of course there will be agent provocateurs warping your messaging from within the crowd
so a good protest must be ready to handle them as well
