This upcoming weekend, the museum is hosting Barrio Arts Fest which is expected to draw large crowds.<<

@JustToOdd I'll be out of town unfortunately, but hearing this makes me want to cause trouble.
I'm a white male US citizen. I can probably risk arrest relatively safely. If people like me were to show up at the museum well before it opens and physically block ice agent vehicles from entering could we get them to go home and/or resign from their barbaric jobs?
Is someone organizing resistance that I could get involved with? Send them my contact info.
@poleguy
I'd say "any resistance is better than none".
But I want to recommend some helpful things:
- don't get the museum involved to organize resistance, better get in contact with local antiracism / antifa / civil rights groups
- if you want to involve yourself "officialy", the museum might like volunteers for "crowd control" who assist guests leaving quickly or who enforce judicial paperwork from agents before they enter the premises
- don't announce online that you want to break laws, it helps police justify showing up in numbers or using force against peaceful protesters
- still, it's better to show up and assist spontaneous or film police violence (but make sure hot protest action is not on cam)
- mask up, bring water, bring a small first aid kit
- don't brag about your actions online or offline, if you want to stay out of Trumps coming freedom camps
