Currently I'm a "maybe", mainly because I'm a bit under the weather.

1. Please don't fall for this ...

Part of the whole antifa is supposed to have a violent overthrow of the government tomorrow. People trying to stir up shit ...

[MarvinGardens]

4. I hadn't heard a peep about it here.

Hence my OP. Perhaps that is why. But it was included in my local Indivisible newsletter.

Do you think it is a RW led operation? Or are you concerned about violent RW counterprotests?

8. Its not a right wing action.

It is a commendable action.

[MarvinGardens]

9. Thank you. (nt)

[L. Coyote]

12. It is a Russian trolling of useful idiots for Russian Unity Day.

Anyone falling for this crap is not paying attention.

2. No.

[AJT]

3. Don't play into the white supremacists hands.

The far right has been spreading around that the left is taking to the streets to kill them on Saturday. It's an excuse for violence.

[MarvinGardens]

5. I guess they could do this prior to any planned protest.

In that case, shall we never protest?

6. RW made up stories of violent overthrow

7. I'm going

Slipping out for a few hours at work to try and make NYC's heads a little pinker >^..^<

11. Glad to hear it.

If I feel better tomorrow, I'll be there (ATL).

10. Russian Trolls at work -- UNITY DAY in Russia -- Don't fall for this shit.

These so-called events on Nov. 4 are celebrations of Russia and the actions of Russian trolls and sympathizers. Delete this crap.

[MarvinGardens]

13. There does seem to be a lot of skepticism

on the left of the #RefuseFascism folks. I do think there will be many sincere people there calling for Trump's removal. It is said that by the time Nixon resigned, there were constant protests in Washington calling for his impeachment. For Trump, this must start at some point. I do not expect the Democrats to start immediately demanding impeachment, and understand their reasons for not doing so yet.

My position is that the threat of RW violence is not reason enough to stay away, but I understand and respect those who disagree. The right wingers could just threaten violence at every planned protest, and then are we never to protest?

Now, if this is some false flag operation led by RW folks, Russian trolls, or people carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, please do let us know and give a link to your source.

Part of why I posted this OP is that I was curious as to why I had not read about these protests here, yet they were on my local Indivisible newsletter.

15. There will likely be communists there.

I don’t see that as a reason to not attend. Of course, that’s a personal choice.

[David__77]

14. Its one year since the election. Its to oppose Trump.

Refuse Fascism didn’t call this event to mark a Russian holiday.

[L. Coyote]

16. The Russain trolls work both sides and encourage them to fight each other.

This day is a particular focus for inciting violence.

[David__77]

17. I dont see what Russia has to do with this anti-Trump action.

....

[L. Coyote]

18. Yes, I noticed that.
