Tomorrow (Oct. 18) brings us a second round of ‘No Kings’ protests across the country, because we now live in a country where that is a sentiment that needs to be expressed repeatedly. For the folks who are going out, stay safe and take care of yourselves. Wired has a couple of good guides for protestors, one a general guide to staying safe (except I’m not really here for the bit about ‘If you aren’t comfortable with potentially physically intervening, [and] shielding vulnerable protesters from police violence…your efforts to be an ally are likely better spent elsewhere’–that sounds like some bullshit) and the other a specific guide to protecting yourself digitally.
For the folks who aren’t going out, remember:

Be nice to each other today, be nice to the mods, and don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel, even if he has the nerve to tax your cup of tea.
