Congratulations USA!! State-run media is here.

I'm a queer, trans person married to a first generation Latina with a disabled child. What exactly do you think my family did to deserve this? Voted in every election I've been eligible to for years, protested whenever I can, I donate to food banks and bail funds, donate to people in other countries in need, trained myself with self defense, shit, I even lost a DAMNED good job by standing up for my rights and got blacklisted from my last industry, live in fucking fear of my passport getting revoked because I've got the "wrong" marker for my gender and I DARE to use the toilet in public. I cannot apply for asylum from quite a few countries and even if I could then not without giving up my home, MY home, my family, my friends, my community. Fun fact, most countries won't touch a queer asylum case from the US with a ten foot pole.

What, EXACTLY, did I do to deserve this? What did my DISABLED CHILD do to deserve this? What, pray tell, did my community, my immigrant in-laws, DO to deserve what's going on right now?

Or are you just saying a country of over 300 million people with literally millions facing down oppression and fascism that we just deserve to get murdered in the street?

onions

Tell that to my gut. You get onions in there, mushrooms, etc I'll be absolutely crippled with cramps, gas, and worse.

I'm glad people love onions. I don't even mind the taste. But you know what I like more? NOT being stuck in agony on the toilet for hours.

Where should I store my Backup/Recovery codes

There are a few options, all with trade offs.

  • keep them in Bitwarden. This isn’t a bad idea as long as you do regular backups of Bitwarden. If you lose it though then the codes are lost, too.
  • print out and store screenshots of the 2FA codes. You can do this in a safe, you can even laminate them.
  • store screenshots of the 2FA codes on digital storage. In the case of a USB drive you can put it in a safe or on a NAS. Naturally that means someone in your home network may have access but that may not be a big part of your attack surface. If using an external device this may not be a bad time to have plaintext dumps of Bitwarden as well just in case.

Some combination of these can work very well, just need to decide what your attack surface looks like.
