Why would Trump need to be informed about it?

Good! Bring it down to 100% and also bring down Twitter usage to similar levels! Build fiber to rural areas so they won't need Starlink or if you currently use Starlink see if fixed wireless is possible, maybe with a parabolic antenna on your roof or on an antenna tower you could get a signal. Keep boycotting Elon Musk until he's bankrupt.

There are some lessons here in the article that I think other politicians can learn from. We're often baffled why some people like Trump so much. It explains how he's able (from the perspective of a supporter) feel raw, authentic and validate their concerns.

Of course we don't like him because we study his actions, not his words and know that the "solutions" he's proposing aren't going to help his supporters or help anyone except perhaps the richest of the richest or rather the very wealth people within his inner circle and even then it seems like he's not helping all of the rich or anybody because he's hurting the economy which impacts us all no matter how rich or poor.

So I think the lesson is a politician who could evoke a similar feeling of authenticity without the divisiveness paired with real progressive solutions that will help the average American would do very well in an election and as president.

Let's make the fallout long outlast his presidency by building a better country, changing the system to better protect peoples rights and ensure this never happens again.

His political contributions are really on brand. He funded election deniers in 2022.

Also I've heard Oracle has a bad reputation when it comes to government contracts, very expensive poor quality software ripping off our taxpayers. I think they ought to be blacklisted or at-least require extra review due to their reputation. CUNY paid Oracle over $600 million and look at what that got them: https://pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny-first-computer-system-to-aid.html. To be fair the article does claim that "The project required an expenditure of up to a billion dollars to do it right. CUNY Central offered far less. All but one of the bidders dropped out as a result". I'm confused why it needs to be so expensive, even $600 million seems like way too much.

Yes, this the truth right here. He's not really leaving, he's just going to be running things in the shadows. We must not fall for Musk's ruse. He's a huge threat to our national and will be a huge threat until he's bankrupt or behind bars.

Keep boycotting Tesla, keep boycotting Twitter, keep boycotting Starlink. Keep urging other people to do the same thing.

He also previously said he's not going to donate to Trump. This is just a PR stunt, we must continue to up the pressure against Elon Musk. Keep boycotting Tesla, keep boycotting Twitter, boycott Starlink if you can (maybe if you are just on the edge of cell phone reception a parabolic antenna could help you switch to fixed wireless or 5G internet which would likely be cheaper and faster than Starlink). The stock was recently above $360, now it's down to about $346 at the time of writing, I can't predict the future but my feeling is that it will fall and eventually not ever come back up this high so if you or someone you know is holding Tesla stocks it will likely be a good time to divest.

What a weak man. Shows that when conservatives call people "snowflake", it's just projection.

There's going to be huge protests on June 14. I believe protests are just one component. I think what people should be doing is trying to beat the pillars of support that are holding Trump up. For example boycotting his top donors, educating people on things like media literacy and trying to reach people who are not informed on what's going on. Getting his poll numbers way down especially among Republicans would have a big impact on stopping him.

That's a huge shame. I wonder if the issue is the articles about what's happening with Trump are in English and not making it to Portugal.

I'm sorry but I disagree, I think we can make it through. It's not going to be easy but if we unite and fight together we can stop this madness. If we split up it's going to screw all the Democrats and normal people who are stuck living in red states for reasons such as can't afford to move.

We must increase our pressure against Elon Musk. Until he's bankrupt or behind bars he's still a huge threat to our country. Boycott all his companies. Sell your Tesla stock (it's high right now I can't predict the future but maybe it's peaked right now), stop using Twitter if you use it. Contact pension funds and demand they divest from Tesla.

For Starlink If you think it's the only choice for you maybe if you're just on the edge of cell phone reception you can use a parabolic antenna to get a reliable signal for 5g internet. This will likely be lower cost than Starlink. OneWeb has a competing service but they don't sell directly, I'm not sure how you can switch to OneWeb. Project Kuiper just launched their first satellites about a month ago. AST SpaceMobile might be an option too. If those options aren't available to you I predict there will be more alternatives for Starlink within the coming years.

But Google’s guidance was also telling us that recovery was possible if we just “removed” our “unhelpful” on-page content:

This is very chilling because it means websites will delete content. If the internet archive didn't grab it in time it means knowledge is gone forever. An algorithm is not going to always be accurate in determining what is helpful.

We have the power to fight back! Contact politicians in your country and demand a faster transition to renewable energy. The economic harms caused by climate change are far greater than the cost of switching to renewable energy.

One possible idea I had is to take advantage of global anti-Trump sentiment and urge countries especially those hit hard by Trump's tariffs to fight back by buying less fossil fuels especially less fossil fuels from the U.S. I'm not sure if people from other countries understand just how influential the U.S. fossil fuel industry is in electing Trump and Republicans. It's similar to how people are (unfortunately too slowly it seems) moving away from buying Russian fossil fuels.

So when you boycott fossil fuels you're stopping authoritarian regimes and saving the planet.

Totally agree here, another good reason to cancel your Spotify account.

Of course you can!

I look forward to the day I never hear about this guy again.

What's shameful is Spotify is still allowing some of Andrew Tate's content. If you have a Spotify account please consider contacting Spotify and send them a message saying you want Andrew Tate completely removed, want Spotify to stop funding Joe Rogan and demand a feature to block podcasts the same way you can block artists for songs. Also maybe consider ending your Spotify subscription. When you cancel your subscription you will be prompted to explain why you're canceling. It's crucial to fill you the reason. Say you're canceling because you don't like Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan.

We'll defeat them all!

Twitter could be used as a weapon against Canada to promote destabilizing political movements such as the Alberta separatists mentioned in the article. I'd go as far as to say that Twitter under Elon Musk functions effectively as an extension or an arm of the Trump regime. No one should be using Twitter, especially those in other countries who are at risk of foreign influence from the Trump regime.

That's why I'm calling on Canadians to boycott Twitter and urge institutions, business, universities, sports teams and celebrities to switch to Bluesky. Most websites have an about or contact-us section. Use that and urge them to boycott Twitter.

I totally get what you mean! The most important thing is to call, no worry about the words you will use.
