It's better to be prepared unnecessarily, than to encounter the necessity unprepared.

Don't operate on assumptions about, say, being able to cross into a foreign country like Canada without preparation, plans, and answers to questions you may face. You *will* face unexpected barriers, unknown unknowns, like Canada classifying America as a "safe" country.

This is especially true if you are, or may be seen as, non-white, non-citizen, gay, bi, trans, disabled, neurodivergent, leftist, or supporting of any of the above.r

We are your allies, but we are not you. We will stand behind you and fight beside you, but it is not our place to lead.

I can't say I've heard the tea about AltNPS. Can you point me in the right direction?

I think you mean "cheques and balances" because all Trump cares about is enriching himself.

Outside of demonstrable harms like harassment, threats, or violence (which are already illegal), efforts to limit protests should be met with extreme caution, as each small step in the gradual erosion of our rights can seem reasonable on its own but must be examined as part of a larger pattern.
