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
I dunno, with the AI surveillance state “improving” the kill chain in US wars (you all can bomb school children super effectively now, since AI tells you to! Can’t hold AI accountable!), and the arrest chain of “terrorist” protestors, I imagine that the cell phone location data from these protests could lead directly to certain changes in the USA. Certain changes that will help to populate all those new concentration camps with cheap prisoner labour to replace all the immigrants on the farms etc.
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.
