Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

ICEBLOCK CAN'T BLOCK ICE NO APP CAN! How Local Organizing, Community Defense and Security Culture Protect Us in Ways Technology Never Could
USING THE RIGHT APPS "To ensure private community coordination, the encrypted messaging service Signal "works best," especially with its disappearing-message functionality. WhatsApp, "also offers some privacy." With either, "folks do have an important lifeline," thanks to "the regular system updates and reboots." - Rory Mir, EFF
FOLLOWING SECURITY GUIDELINES "Learn the basics of security culture; share sensitive information on a need-to-know basis; familiarize yourself with the surveillance vulnerabilities of the digital technologies you use; and aim to build communities of people with longstanding friendships and experience acting together." - CRIMETHINC
ORGANIZING EMERGENCY RESPONSE "One of the most effective forms of community safety and self defense since the intensification of the ICE attacks, surveillance and generalized terror has been the rise of emergency response communication networks among ordinary people." - Dylan Rodriguez
For communities concerned about ICE and other law enforcement, what do you recommend to build community safety and protect individuals’ privacy in the face of government spying?
