Hey friends- we have a RUST for Central PA now.
Getting scanner coverage for Lancaster and Reading

If you have tips or need to let us know something, please send a message to @RUSTContactBot

Attention comrades: a *rumor* is going around that the National Guard is being activated Philly. We also know that Trump is coming to Philly tomorrow so maybe they're being activated for that. Either way, we need confirmation from primary sources who are in the know about this. If you have *verifiable* information that this happening, please message @GrittyBot on Telegram. Thank ye.

And remember, spread information NOT panic. Unverified and panic inducing rumors HARM THE RESIDENTS which is the opposite of what we want to do.

As of now this is a RUMOR and if you're blasting that it's true Gritty will stare at you while you sleep.

Comrades, here we are on the eve of Trump's visit. Please send any calls to action you have received to the @RUSTcontactBot so we can make a full listing here tomorrow.

Seems the national guard rumor was a rumor, and so far scouts report a quiet and calm night. Sleep tight, everyone.

Lots happening today.... Stay safe out there.

A note on jurisdiction:

When you are detained or arrested, your location and which agency does the arresting can really affect how things go for you down the line.

There is a map of the Independence Mall area at https://nps.gov/inde/planyourvisit.htm that shows what the park service had jurisdiction over. These would be federal areas. Add to that the "statues and monuments" act and a lot of Old City becomes Federal. This changes how protests are treated.

Stay smart today, make sure you have the Up Against the Law hotline number on your arm (484- 758-0388) and watch out for your comrades.

OTG: police presence around Center City is increasing. Thanks for the tips, everyone.

OTG: 5th Street Station for MFL is closed.

Be careful comrades, PPD seem to have a bad case of the zoomies all over the city. Look both ways before crossing the street. They are literally everywhere. Rackin' up that overtime!

OTG: Police are being bussed in. Field trip! There will be so many pigs out today guys... Watch yourselves

OTG: Police informed a person down by Independence Mall that the Feds were going to secure basically the whole area. Absolutely not a surprise there, please make sure to create a meet up spot away from the area of Independence and Constitution Center

Scanner - It’s sounds like folks are gathering on the north side of 5th and market

Freeways near 5th and arch protest area blocked off by cruiser

OTG: The only area blocked off is the lawn by the constitution center building. Many cops. Some protesters with a banner.
