The rest isn’t possible without doing this first: limit your doom scrolling. Unless reading the news is your job, don’t live your life like it is. You can stay informed without spending a huge portion of your waking hours doom scrolling.

With all the non-doomscrolling time in your schedule, get involved in your local community. See what events are going on at the library, you can often find organizations through them that are connected to your interests. Colleges often have events open to the community as well. Find places that work around issues that concern you, and volunteer with them if you can. Get therapy if you can access it, god knows enough is going on right now to need it.

These are all things that will increase your resilience and help you find people in your local community to trust. Remaining isolated, afraid, and unable to act is what every fascist government wants of its opponents, so do everything you can to avoid giving them that.
