I'm just a girl, standing in front of the entire infosec community, asking them to give practical, simple digital security/privacy advice to people seeking abortions instead of describing outlandish Jason Bourne scenarios.
@evacide First thing I can think of:
Get the "tails" distro and write it to a (cheap, disposable) usb stick. It has the Tor-Browser builtin.
Boot Laptop from usb, use public wlan elsewhere, store research on a public cryptpad in Europe, as you can not and should not store the info on any device at home. Leave mobile phone elswhere meanwhile.
Tails leaves no trace on the laptop.
But maybe that's already to complicated for non-tech people?
