The GOP in Congress are actively in on the coup too. I don't understand why Democrats aren't constantly saying this on a minute by minute basis.

Looking for an alternative to Google Maps? I have learned of Organic Maps, and I'm excited to give it a test drive (literally) for the rest of February. I love the offline maps, and yet one more thing to wrest from The Goog's control. https://organicmaps.app

Terrifying. Donald Trump illegally fired every board member on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board who wasn’t a Republican. The board oversees national security agencies like CIA, NSA, and FBI. This purge puts our privacy and civil liberties at greater risk.

This powers the Sensitive Content Warnings feature that, despite good intentions, does scan images on your device. You may wish to manually uninstall this component.

He will be suing Wired, too. And it will be in the Northern District of Texas. Meanwhile, the USAO for DC and at least two state AGs will be opening criminal investigations by the end of the month. Not even a little bit joking. The full weight of the Musk-state complex will be coming after them.

Omg what the hell?
