Please DO NOT USE black lives matter tag on socials if you’re participating in black out tuesday. Use #BlackOutTuesday or #TheShowMustBePaused instead.
[Tweet from the FBI at 5:47pm EDT on June 1, 2020: The FBI is seeking information and digital media depicting individuals inciting violence during First Amendment protected peaceful demonstrations: fbi.gov/violence]
The FBI has set up an online tip site to collect information on “unlawful violent actions” going on at protests in the U.S. Please help flood the system with junk responses so the FBI can’t use this tool to track down and punish protesters! You can submit a junk response here or by calling 1-800-225-5324.
Some details:
- You can submit multiple responses
- You do not have to be in the U.S to submit something
- The form asks for but doesn’t require you to fill out personal information
- Even though the page is meant to be collecting photo/video files, you don’t have to upload any (although doing so will make your response more time consuming to weed out!)
Messing with surveillance tools like this has been shown to be effective this week already. Support the protesters who are fighting for and with you! Black lives matter!

USE A VPN and spam this shit with junk. make it unusable so they have to wade through miles of bullshit to find anything that was submitted by a bootlicker.
other cities are getting a lot of momentum behind spamming their snitch lines, but salt lake city is really lagging behind. the pigs here are already using videos from twitter to identify and arrest people. we’d really appreciate it if you could help your comrades out and spam the salt lake city snitch line with whatever you have https://sbi.utah.gov/crime-tips-upload/ (you can upload entirely anonymously)

What just happened on CNN? Im at work and so wasn’t somewhere I could watch

Sure I’ll sum up.
So there was a very good peaceful protest by…. Lafayette Park? Right outside the White House. They were chanting, they had multiple reporters in the crowd, it was fucking CHILL, people were waiting for Trump to do a speech in the Rose Garden.
Then, out of nowhere, truly NOWHERE, the cops closed in from three directions and threw gas into the crowd. They used rubber bullets on the crowd IMMEDIATELY. One dude told the reporter “They don’t care about news, move.” They drove out the totally fucking peaceful, pre-curfew protestors.
They moved them all out, and Trump started speaking, and you could hear the fucking gas going off over his speech. CNN fucking did a splitscreen to show the peopple being shoved back as the motherfucker stood up there and said he would protect our rights and would mobilize the military against people.
Then back to the reporters, and everyone was forced further and further away. One woman on a bike told the reporter “They are getting the water cannons ready, you wanna move.”
TURNS OUT.
ALL OF THIS.
WAS BECAUSE TRUMP WANTED A PHOTO OP AT THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET. HE WANTED THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO HE COULD STAND WITH A BIBLE IN FRONT OF A CHURCH.
Even CNN is calling him a dictator, at 7PM.
Then the Illinois governor came out and called him a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic failure.
ETA: OH AND AFTER THE FACT one of the CNN ppl said that the cops claimed they gave three warnings to the crowd to disperse. There were reporters literally in the crowd, and didn’t mention hearing anything along those lines and where as shocked as anyone when the crowd was forced to move. So they’re fucking lying.
The Bishop whose church he stood in front of issued a statement, this is real:
The President just used a Bible and one of the churches of my diocese as a backdrop for a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that our church stands for. To do so, he sanctioned the use of tear gas by police officers in riot gear to clear the church yard.
I am outraged.
The President did not pray when he came to St. John’s; nor did he acknowledge the agony and sacred worth of people of color in our nation who rightfully demand an end to 400 years of systemic racism and white supremacy in our country.
We in the Diocese of Washington follow Jesus in His Way of Love. We aspire to be people of peace and advocates of justice. In no way do we support the President’s incendiary response to a wounded, grieving nation. In faithfulness to our Savior who lived a life of non-violence and sacrificial love, we align ourselves with those seeking justice for the death of George Floyd and countless others through the sacred act of peaceful protest.
Trump was embarrassed for hiding in the underground White House bunker during the protests yesterday.
So this was a direct reaction to #bunkerboy trending on social media. In order to prove how brave he is, they staged this cowardly ‘event’.
They gassed the clergy (who were acting as medics in the protest) in order to get to the church.

Crushing hard on Kira Nerys, she is a blessed character who is keeping me from completely losing it. The only downside of DS9 is that it’s… god lord, it is topical still.

Two crews, Maquis and Starfleet, are gonna become one; and they’ll make as big a mark on the Delta Quadrant as it’ll make on them, by protecting people like the Ocampans, curing diseases, encouraging peace. Children like Naomi and Icheb are gonna grow up on this ship and call it home. And we’ll all be following our Captain, who sets a course for Earth and never stops believing that we’ll get there.
