The right to assemble and protest is enshrined in American law, but it can still be dangerous to hit the streets to make your voice heard. Your devices are a treasure trove of information about you, and you may not always know who’s collecting that data. Take a few minutes before you go to assess your digital and physical safety. Even if you have nothing to hide, you don’t want to accidentally give law enforcement officials any information you didn’t intend to share. Follow these tips to lock down your phone before a protest or other peaceful assembly.

Someone’s gotta record the fascism.
Then use… a camera??
cameras exist.
Camera’s can be easily confiscated and broken by fascists.

no bigger than a phone, no harder to destroy than a phone. just as easy to conceal as a phone.
SD cards are pretty resilient.
Someone will (and probably better). There are more cameras at protests than ever in history. What’s missing is mass action by complacent people.
Pretty easy to take video on an old phone without a SIM, or with a cheapo burner sim.
Are there “burner sims” you can get nowadays that don’t require online activation (i.e. they can easily trace the sim back to you)?
Phreeli, if you pay using crypto that can keep you anonymous
Also calling help if/when they shoot you might be helpful.
