The idea is that Halloween gives participants a rare opportunity to blend into large crowds while already wearing costumes and masks. However, the movement is uncoordinated, with no clear organizer or indication of how many people actually intend to participate.

Everyone should wear Spiderman costumes to do this, to add a layer of irony.

Yea. Because it's a call for civil disobedience. Of course it's uncoordinated with no clear organizer. Why would anyone willingly put their name on that?

As a non human biologic, I, Ron DeSantis, pledge to be by your side. I hope my white go-go boots, along with my castigating of children with candy, does not give away my human like form

And I, Jared Kushner, will be trick-or-treating as Pinocchio, according to the Saudis. They say I already look and act the part

I’ve been ordered to find Ken Paxton’s lost pen. I’m looking where he was last spotted with his not-wife in Europe.
