Google is now officially a fascist tool, as its contemptible "Gulf of America" change shows -- and as removing progressive events from the calendar shows.

You MUST expect now that Google will gladly hand over your most personal information to the Trump regime or anyone the regime likes.

You never could trust Google, once it became an advertising company. You must now assume it is your likely enemy.

I’m curious how the average American needs to be impacted for them to recognize the situation we’re in?

Would it be missed social security checks? Unpaid Medicare bills? Lost jobs? Extensive food lines?

Or does it have to make it all the way to US troops on American streets?

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!
