Good morning everyone. I am Scott Johnson, State Organizer of Indiana 50501
I need to make people aware that the world changed again yesterday.
And it is not a good change.
And, yes, I know that's obvious in the hell scape that we are all enduring but still ...
I have thought long and hard about what I am about to say.
I have sought the advice of my fellow 50501 leadership.
And I am following the dictates of my conscience.
Now brace yourself people.
This is a long one but if I can wake up at 3 am to write it, clean myself up, stage it and
get on camera, you can listen.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Yep. That's right. Abrego Garcia, the man that was MISTAKENLY sent to Venezuela for NOTHING.
It was stated that he will not be coming home.
This man has an American wife and 3 children and is innocent
President Trump was taught politics by a man named Roy Cohn and one of the things that Roy Cohn
taught Trump is that you NEVER, EVER ADMIT YOU ARE WRONG.
And thanks to that INSANE, ARROGANT, DESPICABLE teaching,
an innocent man,
who has never been convicted of a crome,
a man with an American wife
has been sent to a South American Gulag
I STAND WITH ABREGO GARCIA
NOW IF YOU LOOK AT CHAIR NEXT TO ME, HERE IN INDY WE CALL THIS
"CHAIRS FOR THE DISAPPEARED" Today it is also Chairs for the Arrested
You're going to see this again and again at the events out of Indiana 50501
This will be a feature of our permanent event process moving forward.
I wasn't going to unveil this until our 5/1 protest but to hell with that
Our Chairs for the Disappeared starts today and the first one is for
ABREGO GARCIA
My thanks go out to our event leader Sara who helped me with the staging for this
and to my eldest son who gave me the idea of Chairs for the Departed. Thank you Alex.
The next change was ...
No
I can't even say that it is more serious
I can't say it is less serious
IT JUST IS
AND IT IS A TRAVESTY
Abrego Garcia is a tragedy on a personal scale
This is a tragedy in terms of being A CORRUPTION OF JUSTICE
President Trump HAD TWO JUDGES ARRESTED:
Oh for heaven's sake people -- THE PRESIDENT IS JUST MAKING THIS CRAP UP
Let's just say the obvious out loud:
President Trump is an unrepentant racist and if you are black or brown he is coming for you
And if you stand with black or brown, he is coming for you
JUDGE HANNAH DUGAN of MILWAUKEE WAS ARRESTED
Last week it was police in Boston, the bluest of states, breaking into a car with sledge hammers
Yesterday it was a WHITE FEMALE JUDGE IN MILWAUKEE
TOMORROW IT COULD BE ME
IT COULD BE YOU
Now here's the thing my fellow Americans --
THE FBI MADE THESE ARRESTS
And I might be wrong but my understanding of the law is that
US MARSHALLS should have made that arrest
So what Trump did yesterday was break the spine of an organization whose
very name actually means something profound
FBI
FIDELITY
BRAVERY
INTEGRITY
Well I'm sorry but the FBI NO LONGER DESERVES THAT NAME
So here's my new sign:
** holds up sign **
Men and women of the FBI, I used to look up to you.
I used to believe in your name.
And maybe that's silly but I'm believe in integrity.
I believe that the institutions of America mean something
But, apparently, being in the FBI NO LONGER MATTERS.
You have all dishonored yourselves today.
Every single FBI agent should have walked off the job before 1 of them arrested
Judge Hannah Dugan
This is a stain on the FBI's very soul and it will NOT wash away
I'm sure some of you are like "Oh no. Scott's making a big deal again".
No. You don't get to say that.
Let me repeat myself:
I'm with 50501 and we believe in non violent protesting. That's what we do.
I think it is time for Americans to step up their involvement in protesting.
And we need to do it together
Not as 50501 Not as Indivisible
Not as Hands Off
As Americans
THIS IS WRONG ON EVERY DAMN LEVEL
I would like to see 3 actions come out this.
I have put the text of this speech in the /share/scott section of the Indiana 50501 website and that means anyone
can go on YouTube or TikTok and give this speech.
I have also given this speech to the 50501 AYD chat which unites all state leaders.
I hope that others in State Leadership give this speech today.
And I want everyone giving it to tag four other people to give this speech
My four people are:
Brian
Sara
Amy
RESISTING ORACLE
You know who you are
You are welcome to use my set or do it however you want.
Oh and if you're in the Indiana area and you want to use my set to give a version of this, just come on by
It is now time for Americans to protest on the regular -- EVERY FRIDAY.
This isn't my idea. A Marjorie Lee in the 50501 Movement chat on Facebook called for it AND SHE WAS RIGHT.
That's what they did in South Korea and it worked
Starting Friday May 2nd, I will be running a protest here in Indiana EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT UNTIL THIS ENDS.
And there will be no speakers.
There will be no musicians.
There will be no props
This is back to basics.
It will be people with signs.
No I don't know where.
No I don't know the time.
That will come out later this week when I speak further with my leadership team.
For now, make your sign.
Get ready.
And just to be clear, there will still be our big events
There will still be our 5/1, 5/17 and 5/25 events
So hold those dates!
But EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT WE GO BACK TO BASICS -- PEOPLE WITH SIGNS
Finally It is time to protest the good people at the FBI.
We will start at the FBI building here in Fishers / Castleton near Costco
Now. 50501 protests have, so far, been an anarchic, chaotic, diverse group of people
We have been a MOB
IT IS TIME FOR US TO BE AN ARMY WE MUST HAVE CONSISTENCY
AND LET ME BE CLEAR.
WE ARE A NON VIOLENT ARMY
BUT WE MUST BE UNITED
WE MUST SHOW THE FBI THAT THERE VERY NAME NO LONGER MEANS ANYTHING AT ALL
SO HERE IS MY SIGN ** SHOWS SIGN **
MAKE YOUR SIGN HAVE SIMILAR MESSAGING
SHOW THE FBI THAT THEY HAVE LOST THEIR HONOR
AND, DAMN IT, DO NOT DO WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO
I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE GIVING THIS SPEECH TO MIRROR MY ACTIONS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD
And now President Trump, it is time for you to complete your transition into a full on fascist so I'm going to make it easy for you
My name is Scott Johnson
I am the State Organizer of Indiana 50501
So President Trump,
I know you're coming for ordinary Americans next so feel free to send your minions for me
After all, I have done nothing wrong just like Abrego Garcia, just like Hannah Dugan
My only crime is I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU AND THAT SEEMS TO BE ALL IT TAKES IN 2025
SO BRING IT ON
And, in closing, I have to quote Edmund Burke: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
I will not do nothing
My name is Scott Johnson and I ask that you share this far and wide
