At the rate they are going, it will happen. I'm honestly surprised it has taken this long, a testament to the collective hope that it won't be necessary. The first will probably be a right-wing nutjob or agent provocateur they try to illegally kidnap, that they'll then claim is a Democrat. Already saw some footage of people in Tucson, AZ with shields and pepper balls shooting back at the ICE Treasonists.
Hit the range and train up folks. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. They're not taking this fucking country. (Still hoping it doesn't come to that. The violence line is a hard one to come back from. Also, this message is not to be construed as a threat of violence. Only a statement of fact. Violence should always be avoided whenever possible, until it is necessary. The world came together to stop Nazis the first time, we may very well have to do it again.)
Thus far, wrinkled-nutsack-face-worm-brain halted the education and training of future FDA employees, but the existing ones that still have a job and still care are likely trying to keep us all from dying. I don't blame them for giving up though. Already have been schooling myself on home chemistry to test food products for what I can.
That's their hope. The administrations of some governments are purposely doing moves to embolden terrorism, embolden racism, embolden hate. Then when someone with the wrong skin color does something terrible, they can say, "see? War were declared." Let the wartime profits rain in!
Jewish people are great, the people of Israel seem to be smart and clever, their engineering seems first-class. Their government? Up there with the USA Federal government on the list of terrible things that need to go away.

Another route one can go that takes a bit of work is Obtainium. Hand-pick the apps you want to show up and feed their GitHub, F-Droid, etc. links to manage them. Since F-Droid has some issues with how they build packages, it can be used sparingly but not avoided then.
Go app by app until your dependence on the Play Store goes away. Then disable or uninstall (probably can only disable on most phones, I've seen anyway) the Play Store completely. Slow way to gain independence from crapware. You can then export your Obtainium config to a JSON file to import on future phones/other phones so you don't have to duplicate the work.
Some bonus points, the non-Play version of one app I use shrinks from 120MB to 30MB when all the Google dependencies are stripped. You also gain back functionality like full filesystem access and other things Google forces apps to remove from the Play Store flavor.
More freedom. Faster apps. Less overhead. Less Google crap. Not a big scary transition.

These are crimes, people.
That was always the plan here. Stock up, cut unnecessary spending, stop spending. Who in America wouldn't be doing this right now? They're trying to rob everyone blind. Best way to fight it as a mere citizen of a stupid nation is to not participate in their games, and protest, of course.
We can cut consumerism from our lives in the US with minimal effort. All those in the Federal government and billionaire class want from us is our money, they don't care about our lives, they just want to kill, deport, or destroy us. So, why give them any more money? (Still shop and support local business, don't cripple your life, don't live on only ramen noodles, don't skip medical care, just, shrink that footprint.)
Live minimal. Live free.
They probably also likely removed it, because if you open your browser's debug window, it identifies clearly that T-Mobile is the backing carrier, not "the big three carriers" like they claim. It's T-Mobile's classic MVNO coverage map, if one is familiar with it (which will include possible roaming on other carriers, so they're not "lying"...)
That coverage site is also running on a very old system, IIRC, so good luck finding an engineer that still works there and knows how to fix it to "update" the gulf.
(Cell nerd deets, Mango-Mobile is using Liberty Wireless as their backing MVNO, which is an MVNO on T-Mobile's infra. Liberty was also already terrible. MVNO's are virtual cell carriers that live on real ones. It is NOT using Verizon, AT&T, or even Dish, except possibly in the case of roaming agreements.)
T-Mobile also use Muskrat's Starlink as their mediocre sat-to-cell service, and they also leveraged Mango's position in his first term to push through M&A's to acquire 5G spectrum to artificially accelerate/cheat past the others. John Legere fans, cover your ears, he actually went to Mango's FCC quite a bit to get this going.
tl;dr: probably a good idea to add T-Mobile to the boycott list next time one's looking for cell service. (As well, any T-Mobile MVNO like Mint, MetroPCS, etc. Here's an MVNO List that can be sorted by host network.)

Almost! Who knew??
Non-sarcasm: Sad thing is, with almost everything this administration says, apply a 1984-esque filter to it. So crap like the "rapists, murderers, and thugs" rhetoric spewed would translate into something like, "workers, families, and refugees". Likewise, the rhetoric is often projection as well.
A full unraveling thusly would be: The administration is actually the rapists, murderers, and thugs, and they are targeting workers, families, and refugees with the Constitutional, Federal, State, and Local crimes they are committing.
Need to build an AI news filter tasked to parse all news articles on these topics so the real words are always used when they say anything. Shoot, probably a find/replace browser plugin could do it, although using an LLM would make it more dynamic.
