No Kings Organizers Must Keep Participants Safe

A Christian Nationalist shoots and kills Senators dressed as a cop and targets 70 politicians, orgs and No Kings protests.
A fascist runs over No Kings protesters with a vehicle.
Another aims an automatic weapon at No Kings protesters causing security to shoot and kill a No Kings protestor.
Cops attack No Kings protestors and shoot a man in the eye with a rubber bullet breaking bones in his face and blinding him.
The Democratic Party led people into these protests with no regard for the current danger. Trying to leverage their failures to address ongoing exploitation of the working class and imperialism abroad that led to the election of Donald Trump, into support for their party.
The reality is this, the US government has been commandeered by a blatantly fascist party in the Republicans. Since they have taken control they have violated multiple laws for the intended purpose of harming US citizens, green card holders and immigrants.
The supporters of this fascist party include rabid Neo-Nazis, fascists, religious and ethno-nationalists that are willing to attack and kill. They have been impersonating ICE, Police, National Guard, etc. With the Trump administration refusing to condemn or back down from the racial and political targeting, and allowing federal agents to hide their identities, there is no reason to think things won’t continue to escalate.
Of the two billionaire funded parties in the US one wants to push through their fascist policies without consent by violent force… the other looks to pass virtually the same policies by duping you into consent and if that doesn’t work, then they will use violent force, just more quietly.
The climate of society is currently one of extreme danger under the current administration. The Democrats are willing to send you into this danger unprepared and unprotected, because if something happens to you it only plays to their advantage politically.
If you’re going to participate in a protest, you need to be prepared for violence, you need to not listen to Democrats that tell you to “not wear a mask”, “sit down” or allow yourself to be arrested. You need to not let police, ICE or the National Guard arrest you. They are the criminals violating federal law, not the other way around. There is a domestic war going on, and it’s a war against both the Democrats and Republicans who have built this police state and genocidal imperialism. You need to survive this war, not lay down so they can place their boot on your neck.
Look to anti-fascist organizations for leadership, you’ll know they can be trusted if they are training you on your rights to protect yourself, your identity and seek deliverable goals like actually stopping an ICE kidnapping, weapons shipment to a genocidal state, etc… If the only outcome an organization desires is a vote for a Democrat, then they are not there to stop fascism, they are there to position themselves to be the ones holding the reigns of it again.
