In case you missed it, Microsoft just cancelled the email account of the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor because Trump doesn't like them:

It's really risky to depend on centralised tech firms based in countries with authoritarian regimes. I know people wish it wasn't true, but this is the reality we live in.
You can mitigate this risk by running your own online services. You don't need to be rich or techy to do it nowadays:

Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩
Get the hell out of it right now.

You could imagine playing a game:
[[deblur the image]]
The image depicts a blurred scene of a person riding a horse in a park-like setting. The horse is brown, and the rider is dressed in dark clothing, including a jacket and pants. The background features trees with green foliage, and the ground appears to be a paved path. The image is out of focus, making it difficult to discern specific details. The overall impression is of a leisurely scene, possibly in a public park, with the horse and rider as the main subjects.

"Democrats" don't say that. The Constitution says that, and for 150 years, everyone agreed the Constitution says that.
The tools we use have a profound (and devious) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities.

Arbrisseau sans épines à rameaux dressés, ses jeunes tiges sont vertes, anguleuses, glabres, fines et flexibles. Le Genêt à balais peut mesurer jusqu'à 2,5 mètres. Il vit entre 10 et 25 ans.
Plante mellifère de famille des fabacées très appréciée des abeilles et des bourdons, le Genêt à balais est pollinisé par les insectes : le parfum du genêt attire les pollinisateurs à l'intérieur de la fleur encore fermée qui, lorsque l'insecte a pu y pénétrer, relâche ses étamines brusquement en chargeant l'individu de pollen.
Le nom de ce genêt, y compris son nom scientifique, renvoie à son allure générale et à son utilisation puisque le mot "scoparius", servant à faire des balais, vient du latin "scopa", balai. En effet, ses tiges ligneuses et souples étaient autrefois séchées pour fabriquer des balais.
