Unc:
A creepy, misbehaving, often drunk, uncle vibe having ne'er do well.

or

A close relative that is feeling themselves a little too much at the family gathering.

It really depends on context. The asshole that got balled up like used tissue after assaulting Congresswoman Omar was stumbling and smiling, then sprayed her with some fart spray or other childish prank. Another commenter called the assailant drunk. I just went with it.

You can hear it in the video "I don't know what it is but it smells terrible", I bet it was fart spray or some bullshit she got sprayed with. Love that she still made the statement and said her piece.

I mean, that's literally the point of war games. If you aren't probing your own weaknesses and learning from loss I don't see the point. Hegseth's Dept of War ain't doin' too hot huh?

Shit ain't over yet. We all need to stay connected and stay vigilant. They're already in Maine and moving elsewhere. This is a national problem and pretty soon all of us are going to have to step up just like Minnesota has.

Send someone to go take care of that datacenter they're putting up in Abilene. I don't want that shit next to my beloved Potosi.

https://neighborhoodanarchists.org/find-a-local-group/

That's also pretty general, I would look at the DSA chapters and the Food Not Bombs chapters above. Looks like a couple links are dead for the other groups.

Finding local groups should be pretty easy where you are. Go to a protest, there will be people handing out flyers. The ones trying to help, the people who are advocating aid, the people who are wearing medical or aid vests. Ask them what group they are with. Ask them how you can help.

Literally just search anarchist online usually you'll find some social media presence like bsky or mastodon or instagram. Never talk direct action in a public forum. Take whatever name someone gives you at face value. Always offer public spaces to meet.

Speaking of public spaces, used book stores, independent coffee shops, record shops, granola hippy grocery co-ops, hell even at the library I've found stickers and flyers for local action groups.

COINTELPRO never went away https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO. So segment all comms. Have a friend group, an organizing group and a public group. If you’re able sign up for a burner number. https://www.phreeli.com/ or any of these apps https://beebom.com/best-burner-phone-number-apps/ Obviously practice due diligence and only sign up for what you think is applicable.

That being said, you can still trust people to show up and do the right thing. I got into this by going to a punk show and after the show I got invited to a food not bombs gathering to prep for the next day. Slept on the couch at the punk house there and the next morning after we made some breakfast we finished prep and went to the park. We fed a lot of very friendly people who were going through some shit. Seeing people genuinely grateful for what was donated food, made me so goddamned happy. I never stopped.

For reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption

I think you're trying to refer to security posture, or security practices. However those mean nothing if you cannot encrypt or encode in some manner as to not be easily understood by a third party.

Largely this is done with some sort of algorithm.

What I posted is an aggregate of a lot of orgs doing work. I know sometimes they need calling folks and the like. Also you can always pass the info on to others who you think can help. Or if you have the time you can seek out "rapid response" teams in your local area.
