Before going to a protest, demonstrators or observers should note that their cellphones may subject them to surveillance tactics by law enforcement. If your cellphone is on and unsecured, your location can be tracked and your unencrypted communications, such as SMS, may be intercepted. Additionally, police may retrieve your messages and the content of your phone if they take custody of your phone, or later by warrant or subpoena.

Find one near you, write down the address and time, and head out tomorrow. (You don't have to sign up for anything, all you need is the address).

Recommended that you bring a mask, hat, water and snacks. Safety Goggles or Glasses would also be a good idea if you have them.

Bring a sign or the US Flag if you have one.

For privacy reasons you may want to avoid bringing your phone, or place it inside a faraday bag (a really well sealed tinfoil pouch will work, and put it in airplane mode to avoid draining your battery) until you get home.

If you have a first aid kit, it wouldn't hurt to bring it, just in case.

I have a confession. Every single photograph before this one was captured on either an iPhone 6+, or an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

For a very, very long time, I had justified to myself “oh, I don’t need an actual camera, my phone is just as good.” However, three weeks ago I picked up a DSLR for the first time and I fell in love with the sheer power and expression such a tool has.

So I got a small one, a baby, a Canon Rebel T7. After a bunch of crappy shots because I was still getting used to it, I think this one is good enough to share. It doesn’t meet the par of my previous work, but it feels like I have much more control over what I create now. This is magnificent and wondrous.

Thank you for seeing me make art with actual relevant tools!

Donald Trump has lost his latest legal attempt to challenge the $5m in damages awarded against him for defaming E Jean Carroll, the New York writer who a jury found was sexually abused by the president in the 1990s, before he embarked on his political career.

A US appeals court in New York City on Friday denied Trump’s request to reconsider its decision in December to uphold the jury’s award of $5m to Carroll. The court was divided in its opinion, with two Trump-appointed judges, Steven Menashi and Michael Park, dissenting.

Carroll, a former magazine columnist, accused Trump of attacking her around 1996 in a department store dressing room in Manhattan. In 2023, a civil jury trial concluded that Trump did sexually abuse her and then defamed her in 2022 when he denied the allegations as a hoax and said that Carroll was “not my type”.
