Welcome to the Louisville Remote Uprising Support Team channel, or RUST. RUST teams pop up to help remotely surveil areas around civilian uprisings as a civilian based decentralized 3rd party. We focus specifically on what police and militia are doing.

A reminder that not all guns on the streets of Louisville are the same. There are folks armed for a variety of reasons, many for self defense against far right militias.

Seems like from streams things have calmed down and folks are separated

NG and large lines of riot police are gathering in 1 place. Take note that these police tactics leave other portions of the city unprotected. So police are more likely to use a show of force in the form of crowd control weapons for more range and coverage than they can use on their own when they decide to respond. Note that the geneva convention strictly prohibits the use of tear gas on militarized forces which a militia technically is. So if the officers decide to use crowd control means on NFAC or other armed groups, they would be breaking international law on a higher level than just using it on civilian demonstrators. Kentucky LRAD is on location according to folks on the ground.

A show of armed force can still be a peaceful protest

OTG: folks on stream are talking about how Louisville Police Department has their own livestream analysis team now. Well so do we. Their purpose is to identify folks to arrest, ours is to identify police, and fascists abusing folks on the ground. Interested in helping us on the ground or remotely? Contact @BLMProtestsbot

45 minutes until race time!

CW: Ethnic Cleansing

The United States has participated in mass hysterectomies at different points in its history, but it should have been included in one of the things we say never again to after we abolished North Carolina inmate sterilization laws. An ICE Nurse at Irwin County Detention Center has whistleblown. There is no way all of these women need emergency hysterectomies. This is literal nazi shit happening again. Our response when they separated families was to occupy facilities. We are ready for #OcuppyICE Round 2 when you are.

Barricades are up in #Louisville, but the Attorney General’s office still says it "does not have a timetable to release regarding an announcement."
