The No Kings stuff is organized by Democrat congressional staffers. Yes, it’s not mentioned in the article. You might have to investigate for yourself.
If you don’t believe me, show up waving a trans or Palestine flag. See how it’s been going for those who’ve tried at their other rallies. Or try signing up people for DSA or PSL. They’ll sic the cops on you.
You made the claim.
You made the claim.
Didn’t make any claim. I’m reminding people what happened to activists at the previous No Kings rallies, and repeating what the org itself has in their guidelines for organizers.
With nothing to back it up. "look it up" and "try it and find out" aren't sources. I can't use them when talking with the "democrats are perfect at all times" crowd.
Well, I guess you’re resigned to ignorance on anything not spoon fed to you. Too bad.
It's not unreasonable to expect people to back up their claims.
I just scoured their terrible website and I can't find anything in their docs regarding trans or palestine flags. It says bring american flags but that's it. My friends were at the last one wearing and handing out pride and trans flags so I don't know what this dude is talking about either.
