With the U.S. government now in total control of a political party ....

The quoted text means that the government controls the party. I believe what you mean to say is "With the US government now totally controlled by a political party ...."

Why would anything socially progressive organize on Facebook? Most normal people I know have abandoned that platform, let alone anyone privacy-minded or anti-oligarch.

That you'd be a bad teammate: the kind of person who puts personal preference above what the group has decided and causes problems for no good reason; the kind of person who would insist on indenting with spaces when the whole team has decided to use tabs.

Me too; that's why I use a password manager: I can be super lazy.

Interesting; I'm running Ublock and it didn't hide it for me. Maybe mobile vs desktop? Thanks for the archive link!

Edit: super weird, the subscription pop-up still shows up on the archive site.

All that does is compel the recipient to stop what they're doing and wait until you send the message, which, if you're typing up a wall of text, could be minutes. This is like calling someone on the phone and, when they answer, saying "hello please hold". Don't do it; it's super rude.
