thread of how to stay safe during protests (?)
it’s going to be hot in most of these areas especially with a bunch of people so you have to wear sunscreen but: don’t wear oil based products - it’ll intensify the tear gas https://twitter.com/legallyines/status/1266452194137702400?s=21">https://twitter.com/legallyin... https://twitter.com/legallyines/status/1266452194137702400">https://twitter.com/legallyin...
another thing: do NOT wear contacts, not only will it be easier for the opps recognize you, but if you are sprayed with tear gas the effects will be permanent https://twitter.com/mrseratonin/status/1266044016287715328?s=21">https://twitter.com/mrseraton... https://twitter.com/mrseratonin/status/1266044016287715328">https://twitter.com/mrseraton...
if you’re planning on going, especially consistently, follow these steps. it’s very easy for people to ID you so decrease your digital footprint as much as you can https://twitter.com/theblacklayers/status/1266245501290078208?s=21">https://twitter.com/theblackl... https://twitter.com/theblacklayers/status/1266245501290078208">https://twitter.com/theblackl...
do NOT rsvp to any facebook or general events. Police can use this method to ID you as well. there are other ways to tell people you are going. https://twitter.com/porgemoji/status/1266062235912278018?s=21">https://twitter.com/porgemoji... https://twitter.com/porgemoji/status/1266062235912278018">https://twitter.com/porgemoji...
Also, CHECK WHO PLANS THESE EVENTS, there have been white supremacists or police planning these as a trap + means to hurt people.
of course, we’re still in a pandemic so keep on your mask, wear gloves that can withstand whatever you plan on doing and basically this entire tweet. the govt. can ID based off of ANYTHING, so listen https://twitter.com/imanishante/status/1266025793962029056?s=21">https://twitter.com/imanishan... https://twitter.com/imanishante/status/1266025793962029056">https://twitter.com/imanishan...
a good example of the safety and lack of recognition we should strive for, brought to us by Hong King Protestors
you won’t know which local stores will have your back or what will get ,,looted’’ the night of, so come PREPARED with any extra first aid, milk, water, etc. for anything that can happen.
and again, with the recognition, https://twitter.com/kalecaleb/status/1266279717503504384?s=21">https://twitter.com/kalecaleb... https://twitter.com/kalecaleb/status/1266279717503504384">https://twitter.com/kalecaleb...
i wanted to make this thread so everything useful + important i found was in one place. with that being said:
this is very resourceful info if you find yourself unable to go out to prepare or caught in some crosshairs. https://twitter.com/etherealcryptid/status/1266042214175645696?s=21">https://twitter.com/etherealc... https://twitter.com/etherealcryptid/status/1266042214175645696">https://twitter.com/etherealc...
