    Just statements from the activists and groups the No Kings/50501 organizers have been going after. But if you’d like to find out for yourself, wear a keffiyeh or wave a trans flag at the next No Kings protest.

    Make sure you have bail and someone to get you out. The organizers are having the cops detain leftists. And do not put your name on their attendee list. Don’t help them compile a list of anti-fascist citizens. The No Kings/50501 org leaders have been openly coordinating with law enforcement. Which shouldn’t be surprising, since the org leaders are all former congressional staffers.

      Some of my friends were at the last one, covered in trans flags. Nobody had an issue with them. They were handing them out to other people as well.

        Which city/chapter? Seems like some of the local chapters aren’t enforcing the national org’s guidance on it.

      I’m not seeing anything about trans people in that article. Or Israel. Or in fact the Democratic Party being in control. Yes, they said they were willing to work with police to make sure the event stays peaceful, but that was all.

        The No Kings stuff is organized by Democrat congressional staffers. Yes, it’s not mentioned in the article. You might have to investigate for yourself.

        If you don’t believe me, show up waving a trans or Palestine flag. See how it’s been going for those who’ve tried at their other rallies. Or try signing up people for DSA or PSL. They’ll sic the cops on you.

          You made the claim.

            Didn’t make any claim. I’m reminding people what happened to activists at the previous No Kings rallies, and repeating what the org itself has in their guidelines for organizers.

              With nothing to back it up. “look it up” and “try it and find out” aren’t sources. I can’t use them when talking with the “democrats are perfect at all times” crowd.

                    I just scoured their terrible website and I can’t find anything in their docs regarding trans or palestine flags. It says bring american flags but that’s it. My friends were at the last one wearing and handing out pride and trans flags so I don’t know what this dude is talking about either.
