What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin?
Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps.

Sometimes it is better to be wrong and learn from it than to be right and not understand why. Or worse, be right for the wrong reasons. Evaluate your successes as you would your failures. After all, stumbling upon the right path is poor preparation for finding it the next time.

When we talk about the role of the media in creating division and uplifting fascism, this is exactly what we mean.
At a time when media literacy is lacking in society, "innocent" stories like this push anti-union sentiment onto the masses.

Since we’re thinking about “echo chambers”, pluralism, and democracy, I thought I’d make a little thread about “intramural deliberation” - the subject of some of my research (such as it is) over the past number of years.
I think it’s apropos.

Trust in news declined in just over half of countries.
It decreased more in countries where TV news use has declined, and/or where social media news use has grown.
