There are anonymous ways to make this kind of information public. Kudos to her for doing it, but make sure to protect yourself, too, so that you can fight more effectively tomorrow.
This kind of information is fundamentally not anonymous.
Without video evidence or any other kind of specific details, it is “fake news”.
Video evidence is pretty easy to pick up on security cameras and, in the case of the christofacists, flock cameras.
And specific details tends to narrow things down drastically based upon what floors what cleaning staff were working on and who was working the front desk when the bus full of proud boys arrived.
And understand that the burden of proof for “completely unrelated retaliation” is MUCH lower than in a court of law… on Law & Order SVU or whatever.
Which is an important thing to understand. VPNs/TOR and the like are a lot closer to wearing a face mask (because you are sick, obviously) and not showing people your driver’s license. It does nothing for your fingerprints if you aren’t wearing gloves. And it also does nothing for people figuring out who the 6 foot 3 dude with the Outdoor Research jacket who was last seen putting on a mask in the parking lot was.
This is why it’s important to build networks well ahead of time. Then you can tell someone on Signal who doesn’t know who you are, “Hey, I happen to have learned that …”, and “It might be a fine idea to have some people get on site there or otherwise publicize this”.
