LisPi (nprofile…2mzm) This is not a scold, just a list of suggestions in case the options are present around you and if you have the capacity to do these things. Most of it is just stuff I've been reading or thinking about lately, from the (current) relative comfort of Western Europe. I'm not an authority in any way:
See if there are mutual aid groups around you. See what they need help with. It can be helping with the dishes, informing migrants of their rights or providing blankets to the homeless. This doesn't seem like much but it comes very handy when safety nets break down and the network is there and rock solid. If there is nothing or you don't know what good you would be, read a zine or two about the topic every week. Overall, logistics > being a hero.
Look up if there are any TeslaTakedown demonstrations around your area. This is a low risk action that has a fair chance of building up in the coming weeks/months and it can bite the one powerful person whose assets are actually vulnerable at the moment. Not only is it low risk, it will get you used to direct action and you will socialize with like-minded folks. This can provide you with a chance to help build up mutual aid groups in your vicinity, who knows? Anything can happen here as options present themselves.
If you are far from everything and/or can't move easily, but are good with computers, consider thinking about what kind of tools you can contribute to or create. It can be an app to help organize. It can be cryptography related. It can be something more ambitious with more devs involved like a way to organize on cybernetic principles. I'm not saying to hit the IDE right away. Even spending time on the whiteboard could make a difference down the lane. Maybe it won't help now, but if fascism and NRx freeports become a long term fixture of our lives, we are engaged in a marathon and laying out foundations now is better than having nothing. In general I think that if you have the capacity to learn complex topics, consider building up your skills.
