Election official here! Absolutely go sign up to be one. It gives you visibility into the process and all the security measures and triple checks they do to ensure election integrity, and you get to help people vote! It's great!
This is a great read. One thing I'd add is that if you're concerned about voter intimidation then do something about it! Volunteer to be a poll worker or observer. Find an organization that gets people to the polls. Engage in get out the vote efforts.

I say that not as a call for complacency, but to right-size worries. Authoritarianism partially exists in our heads. Excessive fear plays into their hands.
Be vigilant but don't panic. Don't grant the regime more power than it actually has.

once again pointing out that Trump vs. US is a treasonous decision--the Supreme Court equivalent of January 6--and the justices who voted for it have forfeited any claim to legitimacy (or indeed due process) whatsoever
One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.
