No, but anyone who has been around 3-letter agencies knows that any encrypted message can be compromised by a single person willing to leak it. While quantum computers may produce better keys, there is no defence against someone willing to sell information for money or for revenge.

Depending on how I feel that morning, I may bring my wheelchair. When I was growing up, I was always disappointed that my parents wouldn't let me join my older siblings at anti-war marches, So now I try not to miss them even if I know I'll be in pain when I get back home.

3) Free Speech is a Right guaranteed in the United States of America Constitution.
Feel free to join me on the Mall, in front of the White House, Congress, or anywhere else you feel they need to know that as Americans, we will not quietly go into Fascism but will fight it in every way possible.

2) On February 5th, 2025, there is a call for Americans to go to their state capitals to protest. That's not where I plan to protest. I will head to the Mall in Washington, D.C., and speak out against Trump/Musk/Republicans, etc., even without a permit.

1) I am an American raised to speak out and protest when I feel America is going the wrong way.

I lived next to a cemetery that goes back to just after the American Civil War, and the older ones have beautiful tombstones. I would take photos as I walked past the more fancy ones. I would have loved to have had the time to visit older cemeteries in the UK while we were there.

USAID security leaders on leave after trying to keep Musk's DOGE from classified info, officials say The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Mu...

β€œMusk’s DOGE crew lacked high-enough security clearance to access that information, so the two USAID security officials β€” John Vorhees and deputy Brian McGill β€” were legally obligated to deny access.”

I told my husband that Trump was making Hoover look good. The coming economic fall will be greater than the Great Depression.

We need leadership that offers the American people a Better New Deal. And we won't get it without suffering from an economic crash that looks like it will be worse than the Great Depression with how quickly 47 is moving to destroy Trade and our Constitution. 1/1

I see war coming fast on the horizon and pray to all that calmer heads prevail not to use the nuclear weapons stockpiled around the world. All I and others can do is keep speaking out and fight with every tool we can for a peaceful solution to the madness we are facing. 2/2

The 1/3 or so of the electorate who chose not to vote (they could be their own party) are just as responsible for what's coming as the people who voted for him.

Inaction was an action.

Faceplate is censoring when people try to post this link. I've known for some time that Trump plans to use the Military to silence his critics. The loudest will be the first to disappear. dearlstephens.substack.com/p/warning-sh...
