Whatever the result, what cause the rise of far left will be still there. We have to continue to mobilize after the election this time. Organized for your interest fellows
Law do not exist by itself; it's the result of balance of power.
How would you know that your State do not use illegally free software ? And if you know it, could you sue it ?
Even if it's a classified administration ?
Apply laws Internationally is even worse. It usually depends of the imperialist relationship between States. For exemple, Facebook rules was illegal in France, but France changes it's laws rather than sue Facebook. A decade later, the whole European Union could forte RGPD upon the GAFAM.
China have nothing to fear in ignoring those licence, and we shouldn't rely on it to protect our work. However we could strengthen our common defenses, through FOSS for people in the US … and maybe trade unions elsewhere.
The fascist issue is not a biggest concern than in Germany, US, France, and certainly not than in Russia. Of course every fascist must be fought, but it's easy to denounce far-right in other countries. In the hearth of capitalism, a consistent anti-imperialist position shall fight the imperialism state. I'm not fan of the dude, but that pretty basics leninism
About "nazi" that came to the west, it's true, but your examples are very bad. Yea every male in germany during the 3rd Reich have to join the army. Of could they could desert, and having their family and their own life threaten, but that's not make them nazi. None of them were in the nazi party or one of its organisation (like the SS). Adolf Heusinger may be another case, being a general is not the same responsibility and agentivity
This a bad job because there is a lot of example of fascists kept at position of power in many countries, including the occupied germany and the french vichists.
This lead to fascists laws and institutions being kept in those countries (some brigades dedicated to kill resistance converted in "anticriminal brigade" for example), and being used against decolonization.
TL;DR you could demonstrate nazification of western countries, but in repeating russia propaganda, you fail to do so.
However I read many reactions : "don't take your phone with you"
This is a common issue in a lot of activist place to don't ask ourselves why people are acting like this ? before telling them to stop. They may have good reasons, and in a case of protests, there is.
Filming the cops : I don't know in the US, but in a lot of countries, cops are less violent when they know someone is filming them. This may help people harmed by the police, in giving them evidence, or helping mobilization in the futur. After mass arrestation, it could be hard to know how as been arrested or not; some legal support hotline ask this kind of evidence for this reasons. Of course this some sensitive material, and need to be secured too. For example, the cops may target you if you are filming them.
Calling the legal support hotline : Some of them ask to be called just after arrestation or cops actions, to make a precise report. You could call them when someone you know have been attacked or kidnapped by the police.
Call medial support : I don't know how the emergency number is linked with the repressive force in the US, but in a lot of country, it's not. Even if it's rare, it could be a vital issue.
All this actions are important and individuals should compare the risks they take in taking them and what we lost in not acting like that. Of course this risks have to be documented; with flyers at the start of a protests for example.
I would recommend to mutualise actions to decentralize risks. Make a team with one or two people with burned phone and dedicated camera (paid by everyone); let your other phones at home. Stay (at least) by pair, and keep in eye someone with a phone.
They may be better plan of actions, but we couldn't just let down cop watch ant street medic just for the illusion of individual safety. Such thing simply do not exist

Why people still promoting proton ? Private company will not defending your private data against States. There not Unions or independent organization, there are running for profits.
If you don't see it as a safety issue, think again. Proton sold IP addresses used by XR using their services to the french intelligence.
