Actor Momo Rodriguez posted this for people starting to show up to protests now.
The internet is full of people looking to shame people on their own side over trivial stuff.
The streets are full of real fighters who are overjoyed to see newcomers and welcome everyone as enthusiastically as any batshit culty church out there.
Would say that protesters seek justice through protest songs. But perhaps both, if not more. Certainly, they help unite, motivate, and illuminate against injustice.

#New Orleans is already bringing a #MardiGras vibe to protests with music, parade floats, costumes, and bead necklaces. Heck, even where I am, we handed out Mardi Gras plastic bead necklaces at the bridge protest on Saturday.
Joy is resistance!
Lifehacker: Nine Phone Settings to Change Before Attending a Protest. “Before you head out to a protest, take some precautions to protect your privacy and both the physical and digital security of any device you bring along. The most secure option, of course, is to leave your phone at home, but you can also lock things down to minimize the risk that your data will be accessible to law […]

“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave,” [Portland mayor Keith] Wilson wrote. “Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.”

Boston based comedian Robby Roadsteamer got arrested on false charges for a THIRD time, this time apparently by Minneapolis police. His friends have video evidence that the charge (which I think was obstructing traffic) was bullcrap.
He just got his belongings back from a Hennepin County jail and sniffs them to see if ICE pooped on them.
He's already suing DHS for his two previous illegal arrests for peaceful protest.
"Trump says feds won’t intervene during protests in Democratic-led cities unless asked to do so.
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday that he has instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not to intervene in protests occurring in cities led by Democrats unless local authorities ask for federal help amid mounting criticism of his administration’s immigration crackdown.
On his social media site, Trump posted that 'under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help.'
He provided no further details on how his order would affect operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS personnel, or other federal agencies, but added: 'We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.'
Trump said that in addition to his instructions to Noem he had directed 'ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property.'
Later Saturday night, Trump said to reporters as he flew to Florida for the weekend that he felt Democratic cities are 'always complaining.'"
It just occurred to me to check. Police, ICE, et al aren't the only ones who can have body cameras. Amazon has lots of them for sale. Can be useful to be recording ICE during protests to not be obviously recording them.
Or I could be *really* behind on thinking about this.

Hawaii News Now: Honolulu biking community joins national unity ride in honor of Alex Pretti
Minnesota Public Radio:
6:16 AM Feb. 1
"Thousands join Minneapolis bike ride to honor Alex Pretti
Thousands joined an 8.3-mile bike ride in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon in honor of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by federal agents on Jan. 24.
Angry Catfish Bicycle, a community-based bike shop on the city’s south side, led the event. Organizer Jarrod Alder said Pretti was a cyclist and the biking community typically holds rides to memorialize a death.
Alder said the aim was to “show the world that righteousness and good and moral value holds against the evil that's happening.”
He said around 250 similar rides for Pretti were planned in 14 countries this weekend."
