Maybe not a great idea for some individuals to advertise their escape plans in open channels online?
Honestly, the internet doesn't feel "safe" anymore, in general. I've already stopped myself saying certain things a few times in the last 24 hours.
"Great Firewall of China" style internet incoming.
Put on your pirate hat and get while the gettings good. Sneakernets makin a comeback.
in 4 years Trump will try to name a successor
That would require the narcissist to not think he's still young and vibrant and will never die. He will go the same way his father did, being manipulated by the worst around him as he drifts into dementia. He will be propped up as a puppet as Reagan was.
Good luck and I wish you the safest journey to somewhere safe as possible.
They're done with the middle class here. They don't want to raise the poverty level worldwide, they want to bring us down to match the rest of the world. It's strip-mining time, we're too expensive for the international rich's tastes.
Mutual Aid is far more useful than revolution. In this kind of environment, the act of helping one another is revolutionary.
I don't use Xitter so all I can see is the single tweet and it's just an image, no attribution.
Found an article but it doesn't link to the source either.

Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a sailboat.
Also, I wonder if we should be considering the move to organizing on secure channels instead of in the open in places like here on Lemmy? Like Matrix has end-to-end encryption out of the box and its at least similar to Discord.
Find out if there's local Mutual Aid groups in your area, then figure out what your relevant skills are, and then give those skills as free to use for your local Mutual Aid groups.
None of the systems we have traditionally relied on will hold, and no one is coming to save us. We can only turn to taking care of each other. We will all have to work hard to make it happen, but at least that work will be going to our communities instead of to capital.
It's an okay place to start, but it really starts by building community locally. If you don't have enough decent people locally to work with to build a mutual aid group, then... that's a tougher situation. When you're stuck in largely Republican areas, it can be quite difficult to find others who want to build such groups, but not impossible.
As a Washington state resident, it seems like sane people are well represented here, by our voting numbers. So if you can get out here, not the worst place to ride out this storm.
More people in Washington should be willing to open their doors for people who need to get away, honestly. I'm really trying to push my extended family to get more active, because there's going to be a lot of people who need help, a lot.
...and as usual they will blame the voters.
"Did I fail to excite my base and fail to make them think I had their interests in mind?"
"No, it's my base who is wrong."
