Would be great it Blue State leaders threw down the gauntlet and just straight up ignored or refused to enforce batshit and unjust laws from Chump

@wdlindsy thank you for sharing. I plan to completely avoid watching the train wreck and focus on self-preservation and keeping my loved ones safe. It's all that matters, and I will not succumb to the psyops. At all. This is my goal.

I have enough friends who pay attention and fill me in, tbh. At least for now.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@ianto_jones Keeping safe definitely should be one of our top priorities now, and trying to help others be safe.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@nceladean Yes.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@msbellows Yes, excellent commentary.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@bob I didn't create the list to which you're responding. Sherrilyn Ifill did, as the initial posting in the thread says. Perhaps some or many homelessness services are run by church organizations. I think it's a good idea always, as one makes donations, to see how effectively a group is serving its target population.

@evacide "Think about tightening security on your electronic devices" is her opening statement in this section of her advice points.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Nonya_Bidniss Yes, I think of that, too, and of the sudden yanking of Social Security and Medicare. I think much more is possible than many folks have begun to imagine.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@hacks4pancakes @Nonya_Bidniss Yes, a definite concern.

[nonya_bidniss@infosec.exchange]

@wdlindsy Yep all of it. And my Federal pension which I live on.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Nonya_Bidniss Yes — sad to say, everything's now vulnerable.

@wdlindsy
Obviously not speaking to low-income seniors living on nothing but SS, or the working poor juggling bills/ food/rent/healthcare... etc.

@wdlindsy
Resilience & a backup have become luxuries.

@wdlindsy This is probably a good spot to share a link to the privacy tools page on the @eff site. Lots of great stuff here.

@wdlindsy @Nonya_Bidniss
I'd be screwed.

[philip_cardella@historians.social]

@wdlindsy @MoiraEve even if this is a pessimistic appraisal everyone needs to come to grips with the fact that it's a very possible outcome. Given it's possible, likely even, we have to prepare as if it's certain.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@philip_cardella @MoiraEve I agree.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@lolonurse @Nonya_Bidniss Same for me.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@therieau @eff Thank you for this helpful information.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@lolonurse So it appears, doesn't it?
