Trump is weak — he knows it and so does everyone watching. We can all do our part to hasten his fall by making Saturday a historic demonstration of our power and his weakness: https://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible #NoKings

I've written up a De-Google-Ify document with software and environments that users can choose to better their lives.

All alternatives to MANGO (Microsoft, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Google, and OpenAI). It includes a list of Linux distros and alternative phones. Most, if not all, FOSS.

It's in ODT, and was pondering if it'd be useful to have LibreOffice Writer w/ export to images?

Or, if Mastodon would benefit from ODT doc uploading for sharing?

Marisa Kabas is doing some of the best reporting on the Trump regime's abuses of law and people. In this case, she explains the chicanery involved in a massive program to build new concentration camps -- in warehouses. (Big Journalism hasn't noticed, of course.)
