Thinking I'm going to be changing to a different account name. Same server, but a different account name. I've long used my name on various accounts and my own website but with things as they are in the US I'm taking steps to reduce the most obvious exposure and easy access to my identity.

I've felt very conflicted on this. On the one hand, I've always been open about my activism and beliefs online and in my community. But having my name hard-coded as the actual account name that I can't easily change seems like an unnecessary risk given where things are in the US and where they seem to be headed. What risk is acceptable?

That said, I have no illusions about being anonymous. That's not my intent. I've been publishing on the internet for nearly 30 years. I still have a blog that I intend to keep. But I have been taking measures to gradually scrub my name, location, etc from the most obvious places just as an added layer of obfuscation.

🤷🏾‍♂️

Hopefully you've already switched your email away from Gmail. If not, you can get a free account at Proton or Tuta! Both offer options for fully encrypted email. Given growing fascism in the US why not switch? Both also offer affordable paid plans.

If you want to learn more about the details of email encryption check the video. Even if you don't understand all the details, you'll get a better sense of how it works.

As we go deeper into #Fascism this is all going to get so much worse. That seems obvious but when I look around I see people still behaving as though nothing of significance has happened. Posting to Facebook, TikTok, etc with little caution. Using smart phones with little to no effort towards increased #privacy or #security.

They're coming for anyone that is not them. If you're not a fascist they'll come for you too. Eventually.

For you activist folk that still use Google services, get your shit off google and do it now. Don't store your files there and move your email to

If you can't make that effort you're not to be trusted. Look at the last item on the list in the linked article. Given the current fascist admin, it's clear your files are not safe, secure or private if stored on Google. Likely other US services too.

A lot of us having been using the word fascism or similar to describe what's going on in the US. We see the power that is being given to ICE, see link as one example. The admin is not hiding how it wants to use the military.

You may not think yourself a target yet but if you have publicly shared the "wrong" views you should assume that eventually, they'll get around to you.

Begin protecting your privacy now. Go to "extreme" measures.
