@nixCraft

It appears to be a discussion not an announcement of a decision. Am I missing something? In replies another suggests banningntje use of canonical in those states for example.

It is authoritarianism plain and dimple, it is the end of privacy and the first amendment, its a brain implant from Musk.

Fuck California Dems. Throw them out at primaries. 1st Amendment Dems, New Deal Dems. Start the removal.

Get organised.

@kevinrns @nixCraft We dont want the idiotic republicans either!

@rspfau @nixCraft

Primary. Vote more, vote for more votes, protect democracy and self government as if the planet and your children's lives depend on it.

The billionaires are trying to take the whole thing. Because driven mad by arrogance.
