Let your voice be heard on Monday
It’s been going around Bluesky for a while now. Here’s one: https://bsky.app/profile/anonymousprofitt.bsky.social/post/3lhti24dmwk2o

That would be great if a significant number of people did it. Unfortunately, I doubt enough will. I would help if I was an American, instead I can just wish you luck. You need it. (Not that the rest of the world isn't affected too, of course)
I went to the last one of these. It was worryingly small. I'm still going to this one.
Speaking from the POV of someone inside the US: It is extremely likely that shit will get out of hand at some point, and it would be good to be at least somewhat plugged-in with the people who are against it. Alone, we're fucked.
By the time it gets "out of hand" everyone will be too destitute to protest.
I am actually shocked people can do it now. If i were to take 3 days off from work with short notice, i would be left without without asthma meds and the ability to breathe.
I doubt there will be significant numbers with the low temps predicted. Still gotta show up if you care, non-Americans excluded 😉.
Their privacy policy seems a bit sus. I can’t seem to find a direct link on mobile. But yes, people don’t realize this is gonna be the bare min. Shit gonna get hard
Yeah, I'm not sure about a privacy policy. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on that, and a better rec if you have one. IMO this group has one main advantage:
CRITICAL MASS I know plenty of people who want to do something but it's really hard for people to take off work if there's no guarantee that their efforts will make a difference. I'm in the same boat. I want to contribute to meaningful change, but 10 people marching downtown is not worth my job. But if I knew it would be 10k? I'd make sizable sacrifices to get there.
No harm in taking the day off if you can
