Parker Molloy » This is what a coup looks like in 2025. It doesn't require tanks in the streets or soldiers storming buildings. It just needs control of the bureaucratic machinery that makes government function. By seizing these mechanisms while Trump provides political cover, Musk is accumulating unprecedented power for an unelected individual. As president, even Trump should not have this kind of power.

@npub1kwa…e0nj is reportedly the most locked down & stable Android ROM. It's limited to the later model Google Pixel phones - for security reasons. It's actively maintained & supported. Possible drawback: some apps may not function as intended as they can be OS & user controlled not to "report' back to Google and/or app developers. Relatively easy to install if you have basic technical skills & follow instructions to the letter. If I can install it…
