Were you in public? Zero expectations of privacy if so.
If you believe in your cause, show your face!

Have you paid attention to any of the special elections in 2025?

Effective protest happens at polling stations. It doesn't happen when a bunch of unhinged so-called protesters and counter-protesters throw rocks at each other.
The protests that happened against Trump and Musk on April 5 had tens of thousands of peaceful protesters with no massive fights. Protests are still very relevant around the world to protest injustice.
Some people might be afraid because we currently have a corrupt government that does not even follow rules of the law never mind rules of decency. The government now targets people at protests. Right now it’s only immigrants but when they stop going they will start in on Americans.
Yea, Trump and Musk heard everyone yelling in protest, they listened, and they are now changing course on policy to appease the protesters... lol.. carry that energy to the polls and then we can talk about effective protest.

This corrupt administration has no recognition or respect for the First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.

There won't be a decade of this. Things will soon either change at the polls or by other means.

Me too, so I just wear a mask and hope that helps.

Correct. It also happens through group affiliated messaging to politicians.

Because this administration has shown they are willing to break laws and deny due process to get revenge on people they decide are a problem. I am not interested in ending up on some list. I might already end up on one due to my line of work. No need to tempt fate. I have children at home who need me to be around. If they were grown I might be more fearless.
