Keep an eye on the different ones. I got a sub to Proton Plus for like $3/mon at Thanksgiving time. Plenty of others out there have great deals every once in a while. I hadn’t used a personal VPN for a while, but at this point I see no difference between my non-VPN speeds and speeds when connected.

Obviously you have to extend some trust to any VPN, but them being Swiss (nationally no obligation to provide logs to anyone, anywhere) and having a strict no-logs policy was attractive to me. Sure, they might be full of shit on those claims, but anyone else might be too.

I’m convinced that the DNC isn’t worried about winning any more races than they have to do that they survive as a political entity. Just going off the push the minority leaders have been making and the stream of emails and phone calls I get, as someone registered independent.

I see and hear nothing about actual policy change or progressivism from the names in the critical positions, and a lot about donations to “help us win next time, guys, for real this time!”

My senators (both women, both dems), haven’t actually responded to any of my calls, emails, or letters asking for their stances or plans for change. I have got several form responses that end with a call for donations, though. 🤷
