Notice i didn't say "get a passport". Unstable US=unstable world. Canada, Europe, the places we thought were friendly are being threatened & alienated by the executive branch. It's hard to say where US refugees could even go. It's too late for that. If ur still here, ur stuck here. u need to fight.

10) pay attention to people around you. If they laugh at your concerns, mock your opinions, only pop up to tell you how dumb they think you are, or constantly invalidate you, they are not, never have been, never will be your friends. They don't know how. Leave them alone. Don't waste your energy.

9) tune out - you don't need to know every detail, you only need to know the general trends. Do not choose your desire to be well informed over your sanity. Take breaks from the constant firehose of news. It will still be there when you come back, but you need a break sometimes.

8) surround yourself with people who fuel your will to survive and thrive - lean into the friendships that feed your soul. If you have a partner, nurture that relationship. Keep the people you love close to you.

start developing skills that align with your talents and interests that can help you be less dependent on systems determined to further marginalize you.

7) develop useful skills - medic, logistics, herbal medicine, community organizing, defense, education, canning, preserving, farming, buiding/handyman skills, auto repair, procurement, rainwater catchment/purification, foraging, hunting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, welding, carpentry, composting

6) get involved with mutual aid orgs in your communities. If you aren't sure where to find them, look toward the small population of communists and socialists in your area. They'll point you in the right direction.

5) get in the gym - get in the best physical health you possibly can, and incorporate self-defense classes or martial arts into your fitness routine.

4) know your rights, and pay attention to any Superme Court decisions that may alter your rights and protections.

3) do your best to stockpile medications - especially mental health medications, birth control, emergency contraception, and pain medications.

2) purchase a firearm if you don't already own one. Buy a lot of ammo. Practice a lot. Get your concealed carry if that's a thing where you are.

1) if writing ur reps makes u feel better, do it. But understand, it's useless. They won't help u bc they can't (at best) or refuse to (at worst). Our political norms are kaput. y'all need to stop saying that this is only 4 years or that u can vote in change at this point. That's over now. Move on.

Just block him. Why is this not the thing. Just everyone block him. No audience = no power.
