Towson University students moved their “No Kings” rally off campus
after a school official told them speakers’ names would be run through federal government databases and vetted for security reasons.
The demonstration, one of dozens planned in Maryland on Saturday,
will protest authoritarian policies of President Donald Trump.
Students moved the event, fearing that speakers would be targeted by the Trump administration,
which has threatened to pursue and punish liberal activist groups if their names were shared with federal authorities.
“For security reasons”
Gotta love this atmosphere of institutions kowtowing to fascists. /s
@cdarwin @indivisibleteam @renewedresistance @50501 Why should a speaker give a correct name? There is no law that requires people to speak under some sort of “legal” name.
Fats Waller, said it best “Don’t give your right name” - at 2:35 in the clip below…

Yeah my name is Billy Gofuckyourself
@cdarwin @indivisibleteam @renewedresistance @50501 Unfortunately for some reason they moved it to a really out of the way suburban park instead of a high visibility location. I don’t know how their replacement rally is going to reach anyone who isn’t already part of the choir.
