Steel your heart friend, it's going to get hard. I'm going to make an active effort to be in politics now to help sway some local folk, but it's going to be hard.

Get a gun, learn to shoot. It is a matter of controlling your nerves and breathing. Squeeze, don't pull the trigger. With a rifle, pace your controlled breathing and fire on the repeating high points of your breath. Take out all the Nazis you can if they come knocking.
You know full well this is bullshit advice. I can’t murder someone and most people can’t do it, let alone flee and evade a militarized force with an ungodly budget.

Not the outcome any of us wanted. Take a breath. Long term, keep in touch with people who can help, you're only as safe as your network is wide. If trouble starts looking like it's coming your way, you can stay and fight if desired, or start taking with your network for escape planning.
I'm trying to be an ally to others the best I can through all the bullshit coming our way.
I found some usefull resources on another trans-community. I put the link here:
