David Suzuki says something I believe: it's too late to save the civilization we're used to, but not too late to save some of your neighbors for a while. Some quotes:
"Q: Youโve been quoted many times over the last couple decades saying itโs not too late to tackle climate change, so when did you come to this realization that the battle is lost?
A: Itโs been coming all along.
We had previously said that the choice with climate change was mitigation and adaptation, and people began saying 20 years ago that we had to talk about adaptation. Other people said we canโt talk about adaptation because that acknowledges that climate change is real and impacting people. Well, weโre way past the time when we should have been thinking about adaptation.

For me, what weโve got to do now is hunker down. The units of survival are going to be local communities, so Iโm urging local communities to get together. Finland is offering a great example because the Finnish government has sent a letter to all of their citizens warning of future emergencies, whether theyโre earthquakes, floods, droughts, or storms. Theyโre going to come and theyโre going to be more urgent and prolonged.
Governments will not be able to respond on the scale or speed that is needed for these emergencies, so Finland is telling their citizens that theyโre going to be at the front line of whatever hits and better be sure youโre ready to meet it. Find out who on your block canโt walk because youโre going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators?"

It will be no surprise (in fact it was predicted by many) but as Chinese exports to the US dropped (due to Trump's new tariffs) so exports to other countries (primarily Asian & the EU) rose, partly to find 'new' markets for these good & partly to use third countries to disguise the origin(s) of imports to the US.
Of course, shippers will do well out of this but the impact of (further) competition from cheap(er) Chinese good will be unwelcome in these countries!

So, for my Independence Day celebration, I went looking for Brits to confront.
What did you do?
America has always called it redemption:
Men wept for Lee but left the freedmen to starve.
They built statues to defeat but none to repair.
They praised the Union, then walked away from Reconstruction, as if justice had already spoken.
We are a nation that learns through fire and then forgets the flame.
Not all pain is redemptive. Not all suffering is equal.

When teaching people about digital security for everyday people & organizers, is there are tool that anyone can recommend **for threat modeling, specifically?**
Folks can often fall into security nihilism or an extreme belief that anything technically possible, even if resource intensive, is likely to come to pass with them as a target, so I'd like to start by getting people grounded in likely threats they should be thinking about.
threat modeling tools seem focused on building ever more complicated taxonomies and that's a waste of time and attention. A simple risk register on paper or in a spreadsheet is much better than a fancy tool. Build up a list, using a formula like this, just fill in the ones you know and figure out the others later:
ACTOR-TYPE is HOW-LIKELY to do ACTION to SUBJECT because MOTIVATION, and this would cause IMPACT to me, so I'd better do MITIGATIONS to bring about OUTCOMES.
Any time you have an "oh shit!" realization, add it to the risk register filling in what you know so far. Every so often, meet with others and compare your assessment to theirs. Rank risks by HOW-LIKELY * IMPACT and then see what MITIGATIONS you can think of, you're looking for OUTCOMES that either reduce MOTIVATION or IMPACT, or at least give you some detection of ACTION.
I use ACTOR-TYPE because you can somewhat predict the MOTIVATION of e.g. corporations or abusers or ransomware groups, and many risks are reusable between models when done this way, but feel free to name specific actors if it makes sense for a given risk.
I include SUBJECT because you can still be hit by the IMPACT when you're not the direct target of an ACTION, and it gets you thinking about what vulnerable components you may have and how all the parts talk to each other and the outside world.
You can start with the risk register, or with a system decomposition, whichever makes it easier, but the goal is getting used to enumerating and dissecting risks, writing them down and sharing them with peers.
