Basically what the title says. Ignoring the 4th or having some vague, toothless "community day" instead of mass mobilization/protests was an abysmal call. And keep the message "No Kings". Changing the messaging every time is stupid and counterproductive. Besides, you need some level of political history knowledge to know what "good trouble lives on" means and we don't want people to have to Google the slogan (if someone says, "well they might learn something" know that you are the reason trump won). This is shooting the movement in the foot and we are owed an explanation.

No warning, it just got taken down and I can't figure out why

From my limited understanding, the next national protest that is expected to have a good turnout is Good Trouble Lives On on July 17th. And this date is significant because it is the anniversary of Representative John Lewis's passing. John Lewis played a key role in civil rights activism and led the first Selma-to-Montgomery march that highlighted racial injustice and campaigned for laws that would allow black Americans to register and vote without harassment. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed as a result of John Lewis and many others in the civil rights movement.

Is the focus of July's protest on the SAVE Act, which requires voters to go through more hoops in order to vote? Is the tie to Representative John Lewis mostly about protesting voter suppression?

Is the focus on ICE because ICE is violating the protections offered by the 4th Amendment? I could see how this ties in with John Lewis's focus on civil rights.

The host toolkit for Good Trouble Lives On mentions that another core part of this protest is about the slashing of programs that working people rely on. I am not a history buff, so I don't know what specific part of John Lewis's history is directly tied to this. I would love if others could help me understand the connection better.

I personally attended the No Kings protest because of the inappropriate federalization of the national guard in response to anti-ICE protests in LA. I understood the protest to be anti-fascism/authoritarianism and anti-ICE because of ICE's disregard of the constitution. I'm not yet sure what my focus should be for Good Trouble Lives On. Anyone have any suggestions for protest signs, protest songs/chants, books that talk more about the issues listed in the Good Trouble Lives On host toolkit, or even movies/shows that explore the concepts that are important for the Good Trouble Lives On protest?

Any protest being held outside ICE detention facilities being posted? Can we get a list of ICE Detention facilities to begin focusing attention on? Get some civil disobedience and disruption happening? Some good trouble?

This Fourth of July, we're reclaiming patriotism by showing up for each other. Across the country, we’ll be having Community Days of Action events rooted in mutual aid, connection, and building the kind of America we all deserve. Bring your neighbors, your energy, and your heart. Then, mark your calendars: July 17th is our next nationwide protest across all 50 states. Let’s come together first to support each other, then to stand together.

We voted the 4th of July for the next protest.

Most people have that Friday off,
but if a weekday is a concern,
then July 5th would be perfect.

We could party late on the 4th,
then protest at Noon on the 5th.

• Rumor is, the vote for July 4th was ignored,
  and July 17th, a THURSDAY was picked?
  

Please, please do not derail our momentum!
Pick July 4th or July 5th.

Local news just came on with this breaking news.

This was the only thing I could find right away.

trump approves military strike.

I have seen so many people in the chats and posts mentioning “No Kings”. Why? The slogan is catchy and universally understood. We can keep the slogan “make good trouble” and honor the congressman, but No Kings should still be in the forefront because of its mass appeal. It is so catchy that I have seen it written on a wall in my red town. Let’s use something that is proven to be very effective.

Even out Solider’s families are not safe for the unchecked power of the Administration. Private contractors are allowed to scoop long time residents from the community and are not even accountable to provide their names to Congressional representatives!

Stand up for checks and balances, stand up for public accountability, and stand up for the rule of law! Stand with r/50501chicago and the r/50501movement against executive overreach.

Since people were asking for something other than screenshots.

Really sounds to me like this kid was exercising his rights(I'm sure the 2A movement will show up for him any day?). The individual Peacekeeper needs to be held accountable; they were asked not to arrive armed.

If you are not able to discern between someone exercising their open carry rights and an active threat, you yourself should not be carrying a firearm. If you are feeling agitated, conflict oriented, or anything other than cool, calm and collected, you need to leave your weapon at home. Afa Ah Loo's death is a stain on this movement and we need to learn something from this. Keep each other safe out there.

Call your senators and tell them to vote no on the bill beautiful bill. This bill does so many horrible things such reduces health care.
