From a friend...
1) Joe needs to pack SCOTUS in December while Kamala can still serve as tie-breaker in the Senate.
2) Joe needs to resign on Jan. 1 and allow Kamala to become President #47 for 3 weeks.
3) President Harris needs to issue a series of popular executive orders that Trump will have to reverse on day 1.
Kamala will become one of the most consequential and precedent-setting Vice Presidents and Presidents in US history.
With the election results, its time to start thinking like a criminal
Wear a mask to prevent facial ID
You dont know any LGBT people
You don't know any immigrants
You don't know anyone who's pregnant
You don't use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc
You don't use geolocation on pictures you take (can find in camera settings)
No apps should have access to unnecessary things like location, contacts, microphone, camera, etc.
It's not time to panic now, it's time to be secure first
More tips will come, but I'll space them out so we all have a step to work on instead of a laundry list.
States that rejected amendments to protect reproductive rights:
Florida- 6 week ban
Nebraska- 12 week ban
South Dakota- Full ban unless the pregnancy is life-threatening
Please look up the laws in your state. Access to abortions means access to critical healthcare.
If you live in a state where your access to healthcare is restricted, you can get abortion pills online, even if you aren't pregnant.
New breach: Earth 2 had 421k email addresses derived from embedded Gravatar images exposed last month. The data appeared alongside usernames from the service. 73% were already in @haveibeenpwned https://haveibeenpwned.com/
Today seems like a good day to point someone to my guide on personal data pollution.

Our goal is to render as useless as possible the kinds of data that are: scraped and sold by data brokers, collected by ISPs and companies for targeted advertising, used by Fortnite players and other malicious individuals for doxxing attacks, identity theft, and account takeovers, or by abusers, stalkers, governments, and law enforcement, for surveillance and harassment.
*also data that is scraped and used to train AI, but that wasn't much of a concern back when I wrote the guide.

@falcennial @XenoDangerEvil Apocalypse survival stuff should be shared and centrally stockpiled. Climate change and associated disasters can and will happen anywhere, it's always best to hope for the best but definately plan for the worst.
it is highly probable that among the psychopaths and dictators, no one will compare to Hitler in terms of appearance in the long term - who will remember Putin or Trump in a few decades?
one Hitler joke a day...
Community building is the opposite of fascism. Talk to your neighbor. Be jovial and find commonalities with people. If someone is having a tough time, listen to them and see if you can help. Have a few weeks of food stored just in case there's a short emergency, so you can share. Get a generator to help when power goes out. Get chlorine tablets to help everyone get potable water if need be. Get a ham radio and learn how to use it. If fascists come for anyone in your community, fight them
