Sixth, be smart about it and follow others’ leads. They know what they are doing and I trust them and so should you.

Seventh, put your ego away. People you are defending might even get angry at you. That’s ok. It’s not about you.

Eighth, don’t take photos or videos of demonstrators unless there are arrests, then film the cops. Don’t post these to social media, but have them in case they need to be used for legal defense or other media work.

Ninth, at your core, never forget that Nazis are murderers, and the cops are spending your money, diverting it from needed social programs, to protect murderers who have been open about their desires to murder. Spend some real time with your values and question everything.

This is what might push me to naturalizing. I can pass as a white American but arrest would endanger my right to live where my wife & children live.
