As authoritarianism is ramping up, the earlier you limit their tracking of you, the better:
-Use duckduckgo as your search engine
-Use a VPN
-Turn your phone off and on each day
-Apple maps has better privacy than google maps (and is good, too)
-Transition from gmail to a more secure provider
Pass this on. Bad actors will try to highjack our peaceful movement.
Do not engage.

Seeing very dry soils here in the #okanagan and doing my best to help clients hold what little rain we get either in rainbarrels or in the soil. Really need this rain that is predicted, but we need a 3 day solid drizzle. #permaculturedesigner

Once you've identified the latest outrage/crime/hypocrisy/etc., PLEASE *ALSO* mention things people are doing to fight back.
MANY brave people are doing so, but they hardly get ANY air, so they're can't inspire people to join them.

Anna Warwick Sears, the Liberal candidate for Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee, poses smiling with Vernon Mayor Victor Cumming at an indoor campaign event. Behind them, a supporter holds up a red sign with Anna's name on it. Other people wearing red attire are visible in the background, including one woman wearing a name badge and gesturing enthusiastically. The event takes place in a well-lit building with large windows revealing a twilight sky and reflections of trees.
During the federal all-candidates forum for Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee, three women share a warm moment on stage.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a debate.
So much fun at the all candidates forum tonight. The ladies were brilliant and in normal times it would be a really hard choice.
God, I hope the people Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee are smarter this time ππ»
