I think internet is a better space for meeting people.
You have no idea who you're "meeting" online. F2F isn't perfectly safe, but connecting with people you know, or who are at least known by people you know, is far better than some rando online. Even then, you need to learn to compartmentalize and operate on a need-to-know basis. If you want your group to be infiltrated, at least make them work for it. I wouldn't enter into a financial transaction with someone who approached me on the internet, so why would I bet my freedom or even my life on such a person?

Also any other personal electronics like your watch or fitness tracker.

Can one make a general relay meshtastic node, or are they all private relays?

Print at a public library?

Sure - time they spend there is time not spent on something more incriminating!

There are forms of protest beyond just going on a parade through town
-
Send data to a remote location and don't tell them anything about it. No comment to everything before you get legal advice.

Then I'm afraid I started getting old way too soon.

I’m not exchanging financial information with strangers regardless of whether it is online or offline. You’re not IRA, you don’t need this kind of precautions anyway.

I want to see articles about attending revolts!

I participated in the biggest protests since the fall of Russian occupation in my country. I helped people organise and prepare, I joined a political party. Results? None, because there was no path to those and leadership up top is mostly concerned about their position. It was actual virtue signalling even though I hate everyone who uses this term.
What is your plan exactly? There is raising awareness but are you actually convincing anyone? Is someone unaware of what’s happening? What I’m seeing is that libs assume everything Trump supporters say is wrong and vice versa, there’s no discussion so how can any of you convince each other? In a polarised world people picked their sides based on criteria that were important to them and then pulled into a boxing match between liberals and fascists.

Not buy one?

I’ve been using my old(cleaned installed) pixel 1 & 3 with my R1 meshtastics. Very helpful.

How To Secure Your Phone
- Leave it at home
Why is this even an article? Do not bring your phone to protests, especially under a republican president, especially one like Trump.

If black people had joined the air force in very large numbers and abused other ethnic and socioeconomic groups as a way to ingratiate themselves to the crackers and we decided to call them "smackers"? I would have zero problems and would whole heartedly say that.
And if someone suddenly decided that "black helicopter" is more a reference to African American pilots? I would do some research, figure out that is instead referring to night flight painting, and probably still avoid using the phrase while not caring all that much.
Speaking of: What are your thoughts on the term "cracker"? Because you clearly don't understand the difference between a slur that is meant to degrade a human being and one that is meant to refer to an oppressor.

I'll have to look into this. I have an old Pixel 4a I use occasionally, and it'd be nice to make it more useful

I have no problem with cracker, because exactly as you say, it's a reaction against institutional power, not an exercise of it.
But "Paddy" has a long history as a term of racist abuse against a deeply disenfranchised racial minority. I'm not sure if you're even aware that it was widely used outside of the context of the phrase "Paddy wagon." From the way you're discussing this, it seems like you're not.
If a black cop arrests you it's not suddenly praxis to refer to him by racial slurs just because he's a cop. Call him a pig or a narc or whatever anti-cop term you like, fucking go off, but excusing racism when it's specifically against cops is just saying that it's OK to be racist sometimes, and that's not something I can remotely agree with.

You need to read up on the history of the Irish in the UK and how they were treated by the English very much as a distinct race, and one that they thought it was very much OK to abuse.
The Irish have been the targets of military occupation, police abuse, disenfranchisement and genocide, all on the basis of what the English very much considered to be their "race."
Again, America is not the world. There are whole layers of complex interactions of identity happening out there beyond your borders.
