Solid piece on digital security!

My view: it isn't the same as safety. Most important safety factor is people. Get connected to a buddy or group. If you're arrested, they'll follow up.

Take precautions like Wired suggests. But IMO most folks need phones at protests. It's your connection to people.

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

“Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.”

Incredible, timeless advice.

Also; don’t. talk to cops. If you get arrested, shut the fuck up.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

All the BW apologists at mainstream outlets should feel extra embarrassed about their advocacy for her, and her elevation to the top of CBS News, after this. It's incredibly worth a half-hour of your time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...
