At the speed at which this is happening, there won't be, and I'm not joking.
No one is coming to save us.
Arm up. Train. Help everyone you can arm up and train. Form networks and use encrypted messaging apps to communicate.
I'm not going to pretend like I know how this will play out, but the one thing I know is that our federal government has been captured by literal fascists and they're going to dial this up to 11 and see what happens. Maybe they simply don't have enough national support to really pull it off. Maybe they do. I do know that you don't want to be unprepared if they do.
