  • 7 years ago
USA Today is reporting that some protest organizations have been planning in secret by using encryption and other methods to launch surprise demonstrations against President Trump in Houston during Super Bowl weekend.

Protest organizers have been secretly planning demonstrations against President Trump in Houston during Super Bowl weekend, according to USA Today. 
The news outlet says that at least six groups have been using techniques like encryption to coordinate the activity, with a member of the #ResistHouston movement saying, “I guess they’re going for the element of surprise.” 
Other media outlets are also reporting about the protests.
The Houston Chronicle notes that crowds are expected to hold events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with at least one of them projected to end at NRG Stadium where the New England Patriots will play the Atlanta Falcons. 
Events have been posted to Twitter including one on February 4 which is titled, “Resist Trump, Resist Hate.” 
Some have suggested that the opposition to Trump may be especially strong in Houston because the city has been a haven for refugees.
There's also a lot of chatter around whether Lady Gaga will speak out against Trump during her halftime performance. 
According to the Wall Street Journal, "Sports books around the world are offering odds on whether Lady Gaga will say the words 'Trump' or 'president' before the estimated 100 million viewers expected to watch her performance."
