Okay, UKsters, the media is useless re: extreme heat, so let’s do this. I’m from Southern California, spent the last ten years living outside Seattle, which has a similar climate to Scotland, where I am now. Here’s what I know. 1. Heat exhaustion and sickness are no fucking joke. Do not tempt them.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”
Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

DurangoAnarchists on IG giving an example of what information is actually helpful instead of sharing vague ~*Resistance Vibes*~ nothing burgers 🖤✊🏽
SPREAD INFORMATION, NOT PANIC
When reporting or boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible!

REMEMBER! → S.A.L.U.T.E
Size/Strength
"5 to 6 law enforcement officers"
Actions/ Activity
"harassing random people on the street"
Location/Direction
"Chicago, West of Millennium Park, on Michigan Ave"
Uniform/clothes
"Dark Blue uniforms that say 'Police ICE' on the back"
Time and date of observation
"12:45 PM January 20"
Equipment and weapons
"They have helmets, vests and batons"
Not a useful message: "URGENT!!! Potential ICE Raids on the west side!!!"
"Where? When? What are they doing? How Many? What are they carrying?"
USE YOUR JUDGEMENT! WE KEEP US SAFE

This is all excellent advice, to which I would add: organize fire safety training at your workplace that emphasizes the alternate methods of getting out of the building, and if you are the Designated White Person for greeting ICE, practice projecting your voice *real* far.
