Dozens of ads are on Craigslist across the nation advertising that they’ll pay $300 for people to participate in “civil engagement.” A few (as pictured) mention that an event will be taking place mid-september. It seems to be set up by the american citizen initiative. You can check on craigslist yourself. Dig for more information, spread the word, prepare to counter protest. It could be nothing, but at this large of a scale I felt the need to tell someone.

      Amazon product listings sometimes have rather unusual field values …

    And they accuse the other side of paying people to complain at town halls. As always, you know the saying… every accusation is a confession.

    It’s too easy to false flag this kind of thing. Without an organizer to attribute the postings to, I can’t think this is real. Does anyone actually believe that their political critics don’t have access to Craigslist and won’t see it?

    Sorry for being off topic, but the Snapchat notification in the screenshot really threw me off. I was like, “wtf? I haven’t had that app installed for years, how the hell did it reinstall itself?” Which prompted me to exit the screenshot to look for it in my list of apps only to realize my stupidity.
