Obviously we're comms nerds over here at P.U.R.R., but it's true that we need to be. We are facing overt fascism. Please take some time this weekend to tighten up your digital security, to think about how you operate on social media or online may affect you. Whether you believe the elections will happen or not, whether you think Biden will win or not, we live in an age where communication can be your very best friend or the reason you get caught having thought crimes. Here are some toolkits. Take this seriously. Please. We love you and need you all to keep fighting. None of the links below should be considered infallible, some are a bit outdated, but it's all info we need to know. We keep us safe.

We are getting word of right wing fashy types congratulating themselves on following this public channel.
Good job. You found a public channel on a public forum. It's like hacking a Facebook page.

Keep your private information private so you can fight another day. There are more of us than there are of them. ✊
