Soooo into it.

How to Encrypt Your (Windows) Computer with Truecrypt
(Truecrypt also works for Linux and Mac OS.)
This is really simple and is very, very important if you think your computer will ever be taken by people you don’t like. If a solid password is used, full disk encryption is nearly impossible to break with any currently-known methods (though there are some forms of attack that can sometimes bypass it). This is a strong, essential first line of defense against people getting data from your computer. Even if it is broken (and the enemies we’re most likely to face have not proven to be too good at breaking properly passworded AES encryption), it’s going to make it a lot more frustrating and costly to them.
We see more and more that raids focus heavily on getting cell phones and computers because of all the information that is on them. Whether or not you can be legally forced to provide your password is still occasionally debated, but the general rule in the United States is that passwords fall under the first amendment in criminal cases, but not in civil cases. Of course, you could have forgotten your password due to stress, or have used Truecrypt’s hidden volume option so you have a clean, fake volume to give the password to while your hidden volume with sensitive information stays safe and invisible. (More on all of this HERE).
Also look into having an encrypted volume on your flash drive. You can put a portable version of Truecrypt on the unencrypted portion of the drive, so you can decrypt whenever.
(One thing I would add to the slideshow linked to above: on Step 18, it fails to say to run your mouse over the pool of numbers and letters. You should do this: it determines your encryption key. The longer and more randomly you run your mouse over the pool, the better.) (Also, DO NOT WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD. MEMORIZE IT.)
You should still use proper secure deletion and browser management. Full disk encryption does not protect your online behavior in any way, so use public wifi and proxy up for anonymity.
Also, if you are using Windows, know that you are basically never that safe. Look into http://tails.boum.org which is a tor based operating system that can boot off of a flash drive of CD.

hang me for it!: Be careful with each other so we can be dangerous together.
The situation in Montreal where someone was arrested for posting a photo of anti-cop street art on Instagram is not simply because they ‘slipped up’ or because of an overcautious police force: this is business-as-usual for…
“ Those in East Flatbush have realized precisely that the strikes to come will need to take new forms, that the oppression we each experience will be fought on our own streets, in our own neighborhoods, against those whose job it is to keep us down: cops, politicians, and so-called community representatives, in collaboration with our bosses and landlords. ”

“ Such appeals to the moral superiority of work and workers are often rooted inproducerism: the notion that the fruits of society’s wealth and labor should return to those who directly perform productive labor. Producerism is hostile both to parasitic elites at the top of society and to the allegedly unproductive indigents at the bottom, hence its relationship to the political Left and Right is ambiguous. But in post-industrial capitalist society, “work” has come to be disconnected from any conception of directly producing something or contributing work with any specific content. Work is increasingly defined formally: as whatever people do in return for wages. With this elision, the material foundation of the work ethic is gradually undermined, and today the absurdity of the work ideology becomes readily apparent. For while it has never been the case that labor was rewarded in proportion to its contribution, it is now quite obvious that wage work is not identical to productive activity, and that the rewards to labor have lost any connection to the social value or desirability of the work performed. ”
CHEAP ART
Powerviolence from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Fast and totally fearless. With D on drums, Matt on bass and Bryan on Guitar, they all share vocal duties with Avry now taking the lead. The Cheap Art EP which was released before the tape does not include vocals from Avry but is pretty brutal and still kicks ass.
