15 claims we've investigated about LA protests

Seeing the usual In-Love-With-Failure and/or disruptors saying don’t take or post photos.
If you’re saying this: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE KIND OF PROTEST.
Don’t take photos at a direction action were laws may be violated, of course. But this isn’t that kind of protest. This is a LOUD AND VISIBLE protest, where showing massive numbers is the entire point, and having lots of sources posting massive numbers is more critical than ever.
A flood of sources is important, because the more A.I.-generated images are used to flood the zone, the more many sources of photographs matter. We have to out-flood their flood.
Now, if you are taking photos, don’t take close-ups without permission! That’s always true. But I advise that you DO take and post WIDE AREA PHOTOS which INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO COULD FIT IN AT A MAGA RALLY.
Middle-aged white men in particular.
MAGAts don’t give a shit until it’s them. If you see someone and think “yeah, they look like they could be someone at a Trump rally,” include them in the shot. That’s what they need to see.
You want to scare Trump, make it look like he’s losing “his people” to opposition rallies in your photographs.
No time to rewrite this better, I’m out the door. See you on the streets.

Today’s the day. It’s not too late to get out there. In Cascadia, most protests haven’t even started yet. If you can’t do the mornings, some protests start late – Lake Forest Park’s protest starts at 4:30 in the afternoon.
So find your local No Kings protest and show up. More different protests are better, not worse; one huge protest is easy to crack down upon; a dozen across the same area is impossible.
All protests right now are important, but today’s is particularly important.
Get out there. Go.

I hope this is alright to share. I'm not officially linked to the AZE journal or its team, I just saw the post in my social media circles.
