🎙️ Avoiding the MAGA Narrative Trap & Staying Safe While Protesting

On Friday, I hopped on YouTube Live to address MAGA's narratives surrounding recent events in California. We need to shift the narrative and know what traps we are falling into.

"We are powerful. We are the people.
Let's start telling that story."

• Stop falling into the MAGA narrative trap!
• Steven Miller's immigration rage
• WWE Smackdown as policy & distraction
• Alex Padilla's arrest and where we go from here
• Understanding ICE tactics & digital security
• Preparing for Protests: safety & cyber security
• Protest Aftercare for Mental Health

I also dig into the influence of big tech and disinformation with practical tips at protests and aftercare techniques to maintain mental health and community well-being.
