This is also a good list from the perspective of being aware of options outside of the big "go to" services
Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Q: Why do you think your supporters have been so interested in the Epstein story?
TRUMP: I don't understand it. He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the fascination is. The credible information has been given. It's pretty boring stuff.

Historic American government priorities in 2025🗃️
Americorps was one of those programs that cost such a pittance, $4 per every American citizen, and did a tremendous amount of good. Now we've decided to spend 30X the Americorps budget to fund an enormous secret police force and a system of detention centers for non-criminals.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

This is incredible. The "reciprocal tariffs" were calculated without actually looking at anything to do with tariffs.
This is the most amateur-hour crap you can imagine and it's going to straight tank the global economy.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country
"...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

If you are looking to do your part in saving democracy, I highly recommend you buy and read ONE book:
Howard Zinn’s a People’s History of America.
It’s a MUST read. It’s not for the faint of heart, but we are at war for the soul of this nation & you have to be hardened to face the fight
