    In my small town they just so happen to be at the same intersection as all the Flock cameras. 🤔🤔🤔

      Home Depot right after they said they weren’t using surveillance to track people or immigrants in their parking lots.

        People have been going around and removing/destroying them around where Im at. Its funny, its causing a minor monetary issue for the city since they partner with them.

        Painter’s extension pole and a small 3-inch roller and a quart of black paint, will do the trick if the cameras are up high.

          Paint the solar panel. Then the camera will die a day later and they are non the wiser. Probably takes them a while to figure out the solar panel is painted if you paint them in the same color as the panel.

      Be brave. Go anyway. Talk to the organizers. Let them know that the cameras might scare people away. Offer some valid, reasonable alternatives.

      Lots of people will probably be filming and streaming on their phones anyway, so you’re going to be filmed and recorded and posted publicly in all likelihood. Not that it’s the same thing as the flock cams, but

        Right? What are the odds that flock cameras would be setup at busy intersections where people would also want to protest?

    Hope people really take over the streets everywhere. What this clown has done to the country is irreparable damage in the short to medium term. The world will keep turning but the US won’t be leading it any longer. For all the fear mongering China may as well take the lead from now on. At least those authoritarians bordering dictators have improved China unlike our corporate overlords on this side of the Pacific.

      I’m personally expecting the largest turnout yet. Around me several small towns are hosting a protest march this time around so even more people who can’t travel far can get in on it.

      I mean yes but at this point Trumpism is basically it’s own party. I mean in the midterms the single biggest issue among gop candidates was how much of a Trump supporter the candidate was. Plenty of people lost solely because the public didn’t believe they would follow Trump off a cliff. It’s bonkers.

        It’s important that voters recognize how big of a problem the Republican Party is. It can’t be shrugged off by the next republican candidate as a Trump problem.

      Boston is going to be insane. The last one filled every bit of standing room across downtown. Most people weren’t in earshot of the speakers because you couldn’t get close enough.

        I use this house as a workshop. It originally had a front porch but I closed it off. The house next door used to be identical. The rancher that had this property built them for his twin daughters. That one got an improved brick foundation, mine didn’t.

    I’m predicting it will be smaller than the first two. I don’t think the American public believes peaceful protest accomplishes anything anymore. And why should they? Recent history has shown peaceful protest amounts to a fart in the wind. Combine that with the No Kings protest not even having any solid goals or demands, and I just don’t see how people can get excited for it.

          “Targeting Trump” isn’t the goal, “no kings” is the goal. More specifically, the goal is to prevent one person from having unrestrained power over the country. Is a protest going to prevent that? No, not directly. Protests will let the people in power know that millions of people see what they’re doing and we all disapprove, and it will let other regular people and like minded politicians know that they’re not alone in their concerns, which will give more people confidence to resist when they might otherwise not.
