Dave Rahardja<p>Someone just reached out to me asking to attach my name to a local <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a> on social media. Yeah, no. If you want me to participate in your protest, we need to have known each other prior to the protest announcement.</p><p>Careful out there, folks. I sense a lot of astroturfing and “amateur organizing” going on. Don’t get yourself into trouble for nothing, and more importantly, don’t get swept up in a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/honeypot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>honeypot</span></a> operation. I know you’re mad (so am I) but as always, BE STRATEGIC. Don’t lose your cool.</p><p>I’m not discouraging you from protesting! But before you sign up, make sure you KNOW YOUR ORGANIZER and what kind of event they are trying to organize. Don’t be a sucker.</p>
