Now is the time to learn skills, consolidate resources, and form plans. Turn your anxiety and anger into action in this way. Build a network of like-minded people if you can do so safely. Fascism is gaining ground but it has not yet gained critical momentum. But you won’t decide when that will be. Use what time you still have wisely.

If you find yourself in a crisis, your physical capabilities will almost always be at least as important as any equipment or supplies.
I know we’ve all got a lot going on, but for me I’m sacrificing some of my unproductive relaxation time to prioritize fitness, and it’s easy to do when I remind myself “being lazy right now helps the fascists”.
