I AM NOT A LAWYER, AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
if you're going to a protest where you expect to get arrested it's extremely important to have arrest training. this thread will not be as useful as a proper training, but i can offer a few tips:
Georgia is considering legislation that would disallow groups (like bail funds and other nonprofits) from bailing out more than three people PER YEAR from jail. this follows the wrongful arrest of three bail fund organizers in Atlanta last year.
Something people who aren’t familiar with the juvenile legal system don’t realize is the extreme majority (I’d guess close to 90%) of kids who end up in the system are on IEPs. We KNOW these kids have disabilities, learning challenges, and mental illness, and we criminalize them.

Local and state lawmakers who want legally innocent children to await adjudication in cages where their medical and educational needs are routinely neglected shouldn’t be lawmakers. Period.

This thread. The history and current use of surveillance on us citizens to silence them is scary. This is another form of privacy being sacrificed for “security” and power.
RED ALERT: Buried in the House intelligence committee’s Section 702 “reform” bill, which is schedule for a floor vote as soon as tomorrow, is the biggest expansion of surveillance inside the United States since the Patriot Act. 1/11
