    Just want to remind everyone after what happened in Portland: do not bring your cell phone. Buy a burner with cash. Toss it when you're done. Understand that having it on you is a liability. Use end-to-end encryption for communications. Don't store identifying, personal info in a burner phone.

    Also remember that one protester in MN was identified by an image on a tshirt. They probably have AI/ML that can search through photos and videos on social media to identify faces, logos, symbols, clothing, and vehicles. Be careful what you post online. Be weary of who's recording you, even if they have good intentions.

      If anyone has questions before going out, please ask. Check our Opsec Resources thread. Someone here will be able to provide advice. Do whatever you can to protect yourselves.

        Seems like things are evolving away from black bloc to just wearing nondescript street clothing. No logos, no bright colors, but not all black, either. My understanding is that you maintain most your anonymity, especially with your head and face covered. And then you're also not standing out as the only person in bloc in a huge crowd. If you need to bug out you're less noticeable in the crowd. The old rules about having a change of clothes still apply.

      yeah no distinctive clothing of any kind - hats, shoes, facemasks. blend blend blend

      Also maybe get clothing that you ONLY wear when your face is covered so it cannot be linked to old pics.
