  • They enable recently frustrated libs to make connections with more left wing groups. My mutual aid group got a lot of donations and more volunteers at each of the previous No Kings and 50501 protests. We don’t collect information of prospective volunteers, and while our group had to submit some info for the tabling application, it’s not more than what we submit for finding grants and contained no personal volunteers information aside from the primary contact. I and several others helped run the tables throughout the event without any event organizers having any info about me.

    The police, of course, have access to whatever cell info they buy from all events, so I just leave it at home or turn it off.

    He’s a monster with deplorable policies and beliefs, a blight on humanity, and deserving of some brutal comeuppance, but that doesn’t mean he’s done nothing of benefit. Denying that vile people don’t occasionally do something right is a great way to grow calloused against humanity in general which will make it difficult to form actual genuine connections with others–something that’s necessary if we’re gonna build a better world from this.

    I personally try not to deny reality when having discussions with others.
