This is a serious question. ICE has been doing checkpoints around DC, and one of the primary ways to protect against them is going up several blocks each way to warn people about them. But how do you pass the message to people in cars?

We're working on upping our sign game, but people won't always have signs with them. I stood at an intersection this morning with a hastily made, barely legible warning on a paper bag.

A widely understood hand sign could help with this.

Three brainstormed ideas.

Semaphore?
Yes, "no one knows it".
But folk in danger will be looking out for anomolies - like repeated weird arm-waving.

The #WazeApp. #Waze
It shows police drug-testing stops here. And roadworks.

Scuba divers use pointing with a fist as a danger signal.

You probably have one of these #apps on your phone right now.

But what if we told you that many of them were developed by former Israeli spies, fueling the occupation, surveillance, and #genocide in #gaza?
