Security was there in yellow vests with radios. Allegedly they were supposed to be local activists who were trained by Indivisible in safety and de-escalation, but they definitely looked more like either off duty cops or feds.
They were dispersed through the crowd, and at one point they got together in a huddle to discuss some stuff near the group I was with. We kind of eavesdropped bc they seemed so sheisty, and ended up overhearing them saying they had put detail on somebody in the crowd who seemed suspicious to them.
I’m not sure they were actually with any security Indivisible had trained, but maybe? They also could have been feds who just got yellow vests and were impersonating activist security, but they definitely weren’t “local activists.” I would be curious to know what kind of security people in blue states saw at their rallies/marches yesterday?
Powered off isn’t enough. Take recent iPhones for example, even when “off” they remain in a low power state, phoning home periodically to report location and see if “lost mode” has been turned on.
Bring a burner, or nothing at all.
