Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government. Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

#ScribesandMakers 6 Dec: IIf the internet permanently stopped functioning, would you still share your creative work? If so, how?
Probably not.
(a) My work depends on old public domain books which have been scanned and made available over the Internet. Sure, I have downloaded most of these to my hard drive, but pretty much all further research requires the Internet s well.

A white van is parked on a street in front of a house. The van has blue and orange accents and large lettering on the side. The van's side reads, "LEN The PLUMBER" in large orange letters with "PLUMBING" and "DRAIN CLEANING" and "WATER HEATERS" listed above it in smaller blue text. A badge on the side of the van reads "Same Day Service!". The van has a phone number "501-222-1500" printed on the front and licensing information "MD STATE LIC #1234 VSDC LIC #71243" on the back.
