I am sure you all did this, but just in case - if you go to a protest; turn off your location services. Better to not bring your phone at all and use a cheap disposable or something...

At this point, the idiots at the capitol are mainly getting arrested because they had their location services on lmao.

Edit. I’m being told that my boomer tier understanding of phones is problematic. Read below plz.

    yeah if we're talking serious protests/actions, you want to be as safe as possible. yes bring a watch, and go with a small affinity group of people you really trust. all of you should be covering up reasonably well (there'll be a great excuse to wear a big mask for a long time), and don't wear identifiable clothing. have a contact back at home that can lie to your boss/feed the meow if something should happen to any of you, and memorize their number. at the very least one of you should have basic first aid.
