The Briarthorn OpSec Guide

From No Trace Project

Introduction

There's a lot of work that goes into figuring out how not to get arrested, and how to minimise the damage if you are. To try to make it easier for our comrades, we want to share the techniques we've developed while operating an illegal activist organisation. This is a guide for non-experts, but for some procedures it will...

Futility is trying to teach others through language that which we ourselves have only managed to understand through direct experience.

6 years ago today Willem Von Spronsen took action against an ICE faciliity in Tacoma, Washington in the so-called US. His words, sadly, still ring true. Read his manifesto here.

We appreciate @igd_news for the write-up!

⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️

If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.

I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.

Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket

@lightweight @billbennett @bananabob @podsrover I’d rather not have to trust corporations not be evil, and instead know that if they do evil some well-funded government regulatory body will catch them and rain hellfire down on them.

We have allowed corporate lobbyists and propaganda to weaken government regulatory powers and that’s been a big mistake. Without that balance, corporations don’t need to benefit society, just their shareholders.

Before you buy on amazon, check if the product-company has their own website and order it there.

This way the shop gets the full price, and corporations have less investment.

Have a great weekend you all. 😊

“We are talking about technologies that are trying to subvert democratic rule, trying to entrench surveillance, and about a government that uses surveillance technology against its citizens,” EFF’s Saira Hussain told Prism. https://prismreports.org/2025/07/10/surveillance-state-in-u-s-is-far-worse-than-you-imagined/

Urgent support is needed for freedom fighters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, after cops arrested 10 people outside an ICE detention facility.

The state has gone full-court press with ridiculous $10 million bails, bombastic terrorism charges and a media blitz to try and scare people away from resisting deportations.

A support committee of comrades, friends and loved ones of the defendants has formed and needs urgent funds for legal fees and expenses like rent and child support. Please spread amongst your networks and give generously. Our movement is only as strong as our support for our prisoners!!
