PARLER GOT FUCKING OWNED BAD...and I mean BAD 😂 "This group of Internet Warriors then used that account, to create a handful of other ADMINISTRATION accounts, and then created a noscript that ended up creating MILLIONS of fake administration accounts." HOLY…

You're going to see this take spreading today. It is bad. Telegram is not like Parler. It is a popular app all over the world, used by tens of millions of people who are not Nazis for secure communication. It is also the ideal app to track Nazis on: stable…

• DO NOT share your phone number on Telegram (Settings / Privacy and Security / Phone Number > Nobody). This is the single most important step you can take to secure your Telegram account.
• DO NOT use your real name, photograph or a user-name used on other platforms. Bad-actors will use this information to help dox you. Telegram allows you to change both.
• DO enable PIN lock for all messaging applications (Settings / Privacy and Security / Passcode Lock > Enable). If your phone is taken by the police, this can help protect your messages.
• DO enable two-factor-authentication for all messaging applications (Settings / Privacy and Security / Two-Step Verification > Enable). This will require a second code or password to login to your account. Alt-right groups have hacked activist-owned accounts before.

Lots of folx have been asking how to support unhoused neighbors this week. Ward 2 Mutual Aid @CasaRubyDC and @NStreetVillage are helping people find housing. If you want to help, donate or sign up for a shift! https://t.co/dIujqDlKh8. And spread the word.
As we move into a period of increased fash and LEO activity ahead of and possibly following the inauguration, the RUST admins want to encourage our communities to keep each other safe and updated. RUST is not an organizing entity, but we want to make sure people have whatever resources and info we can provide to keep themselves and their networks safe in the days to come.
Please use the local RUST broadcast channels to stay up to date on info we receive and share and the public relay chats to help coordinate support responses if needed. Remember to message @RUSTcontactbot with verifiable intel that should be shared! This can range from road closure/block locations to positive IDs of known bad actors in specific neighborhoods or communities.
We Protect Us. Stay safe.

Please bear in mind that much of the Capitol area is federal property, meaning federal charges could apply to anything deemed a crime in those spaces. This is especially true in light of the federal statues and monument act from earlier this summer that makes it a federal crime with up to 10 years imprisonment for defacing a statue or monument.
Exercise caution accordingly.

If you’re local to DC and able to offer a hot meal to an unhoused neighbor, please do. Many meal and outreach programs are closed this week due to safety precautions, and we don’t have to wait for an org to come along to take actions that share some caring, solidarity, and kindness.
There have been reports of activists in different cities getting door knocks from the FBI. Some things to remember:
1. You have the right to remain silent.
2. They can and do lie to get people to talk.
3. Nothing you say will help you; anything you say could harm you.
4. You can ask for their business card and say your lawyer will be in touch.
5. You can contact the National Lawyers Guild Federal Defense hotline at 212-679-2811. Put the number in your cellphone. Post it on the inside of your front door.
