Democratic consultant/activist: We're on red alert
Protesters stash bullhorns and hot chocolate, just in case tRump fires Mueller
Organizers have stashed bullhorns in apartments and offices near Manhattan's Times Square. They've stockpiled hot chocolate mix and sleeping bags in Salt Lake City. And they've started arranging carpools in Houston.
Across the country, activists are making plans, collecting supplies and raising money to swiftly launch hundreds of street protests if President Trump fires Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel who has been investigating the Trump administration.
"The last thing we want is to be caught unprepared," said Elizabeth Beavers, a Washington-based policy manager for Indivisible, one of several liberal groups involved in the protest plans.
"We're on red alert," agreed Zac Petkanas, a Democratic consultant working with the organizers.

If Mueller is fired before 2 p.m., protesters would gather at 5 p.m. If it happens after 2 p.m., they would start at noon the next day.
As soon as the news breaks, Stagman said, organizers would hold a conference call to plan next steps. Then they'd collect their bullhorns and tell protesters to beeline to Times Square... - LA Times

And the plans are to assemble by our RW congressperson's local office. I live near a small city and I was mighty impressed that a protest is planned locally. But it's not the first time. Our congressperson doesn't publicize her schedule until after the fact because protesters are already likely to show up... 
Just need to make signs. When the signal comes, if and/or when it comes, that tRump's Saturday Night Massacre has happened we'll be at Defcon 1.
