I encourage folks take that anxiety and turn it into productivity. Look into your local solidarity communities, which may take form as Union groups, local food shelfs, or many other forms. Donating your time or resources is what can help those most impacted right now and later down the line. There's no cut and dry way to find them, you just have to look and ask around your community.

I would also recommend beginning to prep. There's some small communities on Lemmy, such as [email protected] ( you can find others by searching communities with 'prep' in their name). There's also some great podcasts covering prepping such as LLTWID and It Can Happen Here(this one is more heavy on current news but provides prep info in some episodes.

I would also say that keeping your ear on guntubers isn't a bad idea (Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb, etc.). Not only do they provide tutorials that are potentially useful in extreme cases (Garand Thumb's urban and rural evasion tutorials and TRex Arm's summary of radio comms for example), but they are also likely laying out the playbooks most amateur militia will use in the future (if it comes to that), which could be useful info to know going forward.
