View submission: Let’s Talk About the February 5th Protests
It’s supposed to happen in 2 days and they’re still taking ideas on what to wear, it’s not being collaborated on with any main organization, and feels super suspicious like we’re being pushed to go “protest” so someone can do something stupid and declare martial law.

This is a legitimate concern. No matter how well-intentioned the organizers and attendees may be, it’s a known fed tactic to plant a couple people to incite violence, and then everyone at the protest can be charged with rioting.
Is it “legal?” No, it’s fucking entrapment. But that has never stopped law enforcement before and it definitely won’t stop them under Trump.
