      All the more reason that the protest on April 19th is the most important one yet. It may be our last chance to have one safely.

        I have the thought they’re going to use the protests on the 19th as provocation to institute martial law… I’m all for the protest and have been to most of the 50501s but the 19th has me worried.

            I wouldn’t put it past them to pull a move out of the authoritarian playbook and hire people to act as violent protesters just in case.

            Completely agree, and I’m glad the ones that have taken place have all been peaceful. But with the state of everything, unfortunately, that don’t matter much.
