You can only do what you can when you can. When it’s time too vote, vote. When it’s time to help your community, help them. When it’s time to lend your voice to the cause, then do so.

But most importantly, stay safe. Protect your loved ones. Do what’s needed to keep them safe even if it means finding safety elsewhere. People have survived this kinds of political authoritarianism before. People have survived fascist regimes before. You can too.
