How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid
www.wired.com
If you’re planning to hit the streets, here’s what you need to know.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, a few random pieces of advice that you may or may not wish to follow.

I would also suggest you travel to the protest on foot, or by public transportation. If that’s not possible, park a good distance away and walk in. If you’re ubering (or whatever), have them drop you at a business a few blocks away. Makes it harder to link you to the protest later.

Also get the number of a good lawyer and write it on the back of your hand in marker that won’t rub off. Pieces of paper can be taken from you. Your hand can’t.

    Came in here to say, this is all fine and good, but we’ve been broadly asked a question in response to our demand:

    “Or what?”

    The left and progressives broadly need to start understanding power and where it comes from.

    We need to use the amendment that the founders placed there to answer the question “Or what?” when it’s asked by our government when it goes bad.

    If we met force with force, the cowards in masks and swastikas would RUN home and hide in their basements and whinge on the internet how persecuted they are. They’re not going to get in a gunfight with anyone, they’re emotionally-empowered internet chuds and pasty nazi-loving 4-channers. Every single one of them.

    I dream of a day when I see nine-hundred thousand people of color, pink-haired LGBTQ+ allies and families of all walks of life marching on DC while open-carrying and demanding social change and accountability for the people selling off our rights to the lowest bidder.
