The Fifth Circuit has spent years harassing a civil rights activist, and they gutted much of the First Amendment in the process.

    Rage and clickbait.

    This is essentially a civil case turned into something bigger because the person who got hit with a rock was a cop.

    Had it just been another protester, there would be no call to undermine the 1st amendment.

    And if SCOTUS goes that route, they will lose a lot of support from their politicians.

    I mean of course since current SCOTUS is mentally deranged and highly partisan, they may of course still do it.

    And I have a protest bag already packed and waiting if they do.

    Remember the important supplies: Bottled water, masks and rags, first aid kit, baking soda to dilute to treat pepper spray

    Leave your phone and IDs at home

    This isn’t hyperbole, you have SEEN what SCOTUS is doing and it is time to rattle their rafters with a unified voice.

      Leave your personal device and IDs at home

      If you’re able, bring a burner to record and distribute evidence of civil rights infractions - be safe and don’t be obvious about recording.

        Good fucking point. Next time I’m out I’m getting a prepaid burner to stick in the bag.

        Thanks for the advice.

        ACLU’s Mobile Justice app automatically uploads videos to ACLU servers.

          There an alternative?

            From what I can find Apple and Google bowed to political pressure and removed all apps designed to do this. Unfortunately I can’t find a working alternative right now. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

                Yet another reason why we need side loading to be possible!

            There was a different app for each state. Georgia’s is called GA Justice. I’m not sure they are still available though. There is one still up for Southern California that you can find by searching ACLU.
