    I was honestly surprised at the number of people fully exposing their face at mine. 50501 does a good job at deescelation and keeping things civil, so I had minimal ppe (just eyes and ears) but still obscured my face. Many folks didn’t even do the basics of hiding their identity and it made me a bit concerned for them, particularly the vulnerable. It also made me quite proud of them for showing up without fear or concern, to let themselves be heard.

      Yeah, I’m afraid it’s just the same as lack of concern over digital privacy. I don’t want to diminish the bravery but I’m sure a lot of them aren’t considering how easy it would be for trump co. to use pictures months down the line to identify protesters.

      I was in Iraq, stationed at Balad AB in 2006. We heard ALARM RED multiple times a day from rocket and mortar attacks. I wasn’t afraid then. I won’t give in to fear now. The clowns in this regime are a joke.

      That is the level of fucks I have to give for these fascists and their bullshit. Take care of yourselves the best you can, as you see fit. But I won’t let their bully tactics do anything but show how pathetic and small they are!
