if you take a burner, don’t take it home. buy it, and trash it at the protest.
don’t take anything that could identify you as you
superglue and baking soda on your fingerprints. don’t go crazy, just enough to make printing you impossible/difficult
write any important phone numbers on your arm or ankle in permanent marker if you can’t remember them
stuff a couple hundred dollars for bail in your shoe
don’t give ANYONE your real name. don’t care how hot they are or how impassioned they are, just fucking don’t
designate one trusted individual to come get you from jail. they are not to bring their phone, they should park at least 1/4 mile away and walk to get you(long enough to realize you’re being tailed by police).
pay attention to your surroundings, specifically the movement of officers/agents. if they’re running you should be too. if there’s a large group marching or a wall marching, leave immediately and regroup.
ICE will be there. they will be picking people up. many of them not illegal. if you’re not white, wear makeup if you can get away with it. paint your face with state colors if need be. not a mask, so it shouldn’t be covered by “no-mask” states.
know your rights. bring the proof of your rights. force them to acknowledge your rights.
stream everything.
if you are picked up you will;
go on a list
be unlawfully monitored
become a link in a larger web to ensnare organizers
you will go dark for at least a month. no social media posts about the protests, no discussions about the protests, nothing. after that, it should be difficult to pair your online activity with your real world activities.
if you can’t make it to the protests, record the streams, share them online, pressure the public to demand answers for the crimes committed by the officers/agents.
one last thing.
there will undoubtedly be people there to provoke the protests. do not let them. once one incident of violence is determined all bets off and the police will become physically involved.
trust no one, question everything, power to the people. 🫵
I think the care for being not identified and covering one’s tracks provided in the above comment is a pretty obvious indicator for why their comment history is scrubbed lol.
Yeah, this whole thing is very poorly done and really screams like annexcuse toncreate andalse flag moment. I saw a Reddit comment that this exact thing was listed in the Project2025 playbook as part of an excuse to create a scene and enact martial law.
One thing I’d recommend that I’m unsure how to easily obtain, is getting the phone number of a civil rights lawyer ready. It does kind of contradict the point about not bringing phones, I suppose. At the very least, if one is available in the vicinity after attempted arrests it can be useful.
I also feel somewhat guilty, as I will be attending in a very blue state that’s unlikely to have so much resistance, so I may skirt some of those rules myself.
I’d say that violent incursion into blue states with the help of federal forces and local brownshirt provocateurs is almost a goal of Project 2025 and MAGA more broadly so I wouldn’t count on it not happening wherever you are. We’ve seen plenty of that kind of thing on the West Coast particularly. Local police unfortunately have a large membership overlap with said brownshirts.
And based on the deal Trump is doing with Bukele, there’s a chance you could end up getting thrown into an El Salvadorian prison and locked up with MS-13 gangbangers.

NSA is like John Wick to the current administration. they have far too much dirt on everyone involved right now that they’re more neutral than anything.
just saying, this seems really sketchy folks.

Why is your entire comment history deleted?
I think the care for being not identified and covering one’s tracks provided in the above comment is a pretty obvious indicator for why their comment history is scrubbed lol.
because I don’t want no brownies knocking on my door.
Great advice except I’m confused about how to “stream everything” if we’re supposed to leave our phones at home.

Why delete this treasure trove of good information??
because when their little AI SS datahound is operational I’m not getting a knock on my door.
someone has to stick around for the railroad.
The NSA scoops everything, this is known. Deleting it in 24h won’t change anything, the data is already collected.
I’m not afraid of the NSA.
NSA is like John Wick to the current administration. they have far too much dirt on everyone involved right now that they’re more neutral than anything.
that’s why they haven’t been attacked yet.
Isn’t that what throwaway accounts are for?
it’s so easy to track a physical person across multiple accounts.
from the times you post, to your opinions, to the way you write, even misspellings.
all of it makes a profile of who you are.
they don’t even need AI to determine that. AI just makes it faster.
why else would they want $500 billion for meta to build their mega(maga) AI farm?
I absolutely fucking hate that I can’t say you’re being a bit overkill.
What the actual fuck
