Saw a video a week or two ago. Cops roll up. Group of Black Panthers are heavily armed on a public sidewalk. The cops tell them to leave. They say “no”. The cops leave.
It’s a whole hell of a lot harder to oppress people who are heavily armed and in groups.
Armed EVERYONE, panthers, housewives, mechanics, trans teens, latino families, truckers, the entire Village People stereotypical grouping, should be there armed and handing out cookies and coffee and making sure our communities are safe and that everyone, no matter their politics or identity or race or background has their say at the polls.
There are presently about 22,000 ICE agents. There will be somewhere around 100,000 polling stations in the US. Their math for “surrounding all polling stations” just isn’t working out.
Time to plan to have 50 or 100 people at every polling station in every blue & red state. There should be enough retirees, unemployed, house-parents, teens to make it happen. 1 Million average Americans of every political affiliation to defend their democracy for a day.
So maybe armed black Panthers should show up to defend the voting stations?
Yup.

Panthers tend to known their rights too. Education and confidence are a powerful combination

They don’t need to surround every polling station. Just the ones in blue states
Good, we can focus efforts easier that way.

I will be there.
Supported by White Panthers.
I rather see the Rainbow Coalition ride again, let’s take specific colors off the agenda.
Surely the FBI won’t sabotage them again this time around.
Surely.
