it’s been an a honor serving with you

FTFY

How is “a history” not correct? The h is not silent.

You make a valid point. One initialism/acronym I can think of that can go both ways is SQL (Standard Query Language). You can either pronounce it as Sequel (thus “a sequel query”), or as individual letters (“an S.Q.L. query”).

Regardless of “official policy”, I will always stand with Ukraine. In fact, now more than ever, it might be time I get a Ukraine flag to fly on my house.

It’s a distraction invented by the other side and should not be given credence of any kind (except maybe a huge eye roll).

If he’s suggesting that he’ll step down to appease people calling him a dictator, then he’s a fool like Al Franken was when he stepped down during the #metoo movement a few years back. Stepping down because someone called you a name does nothing but empower the other side to do more bad.

What a boring dystopian article. It’s sad, but necessary.

purchase and use a burner phone instead, and only turn it on when you’re at the site of the demonstration

This should be the de facto response. In addition, I’d suggest not using your personal phone for any protest related communications and stick with burners no matter how much you may trust the organizers.
