Since I’m not in a good position to leave the States, I’m keeping my “human antivirus” performant and updated:
Eating and living healthy, and exercising (or trying to)
Vaccines, masks, preventative care
Making a personal threat model for privacy and security and revisiting it frequently
Staying in the loop on new security vulnerabilities
Locking doors and keeping valuables out of sight
Investing in a good dashcam and non-spying vehicle
Being in the company of good people, knowing when to cut ties with bad ones, and having my community when stuff happens
Also keeping and rotating through a well-documented stock of emergency supplies. Wouldn’t rule out buying a gun, but I’d want to have some more training on the matter first.Problem with having weapons is, the powers that be probably won’t send someone out to get you in the middle of the night, they’ll instead send lawyers after you.
