The US is now under a #fascist #authoritarian #regime. Here's some #safety tips.

Avoid using a mobile #phone in #conservative states. Disable #location services. Always use a #VPN. Consider all #corporate #online service to be potential #security risk.

Stock up on #hormones and #medications. Keep a bag with everything you need to #survive at least 3-5 days.
