Everyone needs to promote Shawn as much as possible! Elections are happening this month, and Shawn Harris has an excellent chance of flipping GA-14 (Marjorie Taylor Greene's old district). If that happens, we will see the House of Representatives flip from MAGA to Democrat.

Unlicensed use of Baofeng UV-5Rs for “Group Coordination” is a terrible idea.
I saw a TikTok video about a group planning to use cheap “ham radios” like the Baofeng UV-5R to coordinate after their encrypted chat apps were compromised.

Hi folks! Here's a list of the journalists who have had their work lifted by AltNPS.
This list is VERY much incomplete. A lot of the people affected aren't on Bluesky, and I need to update my master list, but this is a decent way to follow (and credit!) some great journalists.
