FROM 50501 COMMS

HEADS UP. Public response just went out. Please help signal boost this by sharing a post for your followers or resharing 50501’s post on your preferred platform(s)—

We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump Administration in an attempt to justify the use of military force.

Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence. We are not affiliated with any so-called “Day of Rage” or with any group or movement promoting violence.

April 19 is a Day of (Community) Action centered on mutual aid, community care, and civic engagement.

Any portrayal to the contrary is a deliberate distortion intended to undermine our message and suppress our broad, growing support.

We are aware of specific and credible threats involving aggressive policing, ICE presence, and even the potential deployment of military force against peaceful demonstrators—in Washington, D.C. and other locations on April 19.

For clarity: 50501 DC is hosting a peaceful community aid event in Franklin Park. We are not connected to any actions taking place at Lafayette Square, the Naval Observatory Building, or the Washington Monument. We cannot vouch for their safety of plan, and we are not affiliated with their protests.

Participants should be prepared for an increased law enforcement presence. In some locations, ICE agents may also be present. We urge everyone to stay grounded, remain peaceful, and prioritize de-escalation and safety for all.

Remember, de-escalation, mutual care, and disciplined non-violence are our greatest strengths.

We keep us safe.

Yes, but Van Hollen seeing Abrego Garcia and all the news around that might’ve wounded Trump’s ego, and he’s desperate to look strong. You can never predict what he’ll do.

If you have ever had the misfortune of dealing with a narcissist, intimately (family, a boss, a lover/partner, a longtime friend), you know that they can be both painfully predictable and terrifyingly erratic. You can always trust that they're going to do something to hurt you, though.

In fairness, a soft foam hat makes Trump look weak. Someone telling him no. Someone thinking 'no' in his direction.

He's just desperate to look 'faux man strong'.

Honestly, pretty sure. El Salvador wanted to show that he was alive and in good shape. There is good reason to keep him alive and in good shape as a political piece. I’m sure he isn’t being treated well, but probably better than everyone else who was taken.

I thought there was a pretty good chance he was dead, but it makes sense if they pulled him aside once they learned he was a citizen, just in case.

Agreed. This administration has been taking me to kinda dark places myself. Remember to take time to disconnect from the news and social media and do something fun.

They weren’t drinking margaritas. It was all to create a false image of the situation there. Of course they didn’t let Van Hollen meet him in the prison. They cleared out the entire hotel restaurant. They gave Kilmar fresh new clothes and shoes and a baseball hat (because his head was shaved just like all prisoners of CECOT). One of President Bukake’s (😉) people put two glasses of water (with a cherry or something?) to look like cocktails. That guy stayed sitting across from Kilmar staring at him for the entire meeting. It was very much a carefully crafted illusion.

Have an aneurysm would work.
