If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

The quality of the reporting on this has been disappointing, to say the least, with only the most basic understanding of what the National Archives does.

This is bigger than a little spat with a small agency.

There will be an economic blackout Feb 28 nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business. Do not use Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Get the word out! We want THEM to see that WE have the power. We will start with 1 day, then 3, then specific companies.

Social media warriors absolutely need to understand that angry posts do almost nothing to sway pols. Weirdly, phone calls are FAR MORE EFFECTIVE. Red states or blue, cal, call, call. Start by adding them to your contacts to make it easy.

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.

There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Someone, who used to know better, told me today that it’s patriotic to support the president even if you don’t always agree. This is the excuse being used by many to explain their acquiescence. Actually, this is what a patriot is: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...
