Is there a best source of info for activism? To know where/when protests are, and other stuff?

Websites? Twitter handles? Forums/subforums?

These things happen but a lot of people don't know how to find the stuff until they see news and it's already happened.

Especially when the people being protested don't give a damn.

The only solution is they need to be forcibly removed from power. And who is going to do that?

I think there's a tipping point before which people power can still help achieve a positive outcome.

You can look up your town and state + certain key words like #resist and #trumpban #MuslinBan and see what you get. Then you follow activists and citizens who are posting about these things and they'll naturally come up on your feed.
you can always check those hash tags and also as you type them in they'll suggest finishing the phrase for you and you can choose it (that's the only way I know #TrumpBan is trending now) there's also a list of things that are currently trending and when they're political you can look at them, and then check again if there's anything in your state.
You can follow and unfollow as needed to keep your feed clean and tailored to your needs. If you decide you join you can follow me and then you'd see what I retweet and see who I follow, not really tailored locally but 99% political . PM me if you want my Twitter name!
