🏳️🌈🖖🏽I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.
UPDATE: The Senate vote on Kash Patel’s nomination was moved to later this week. That means you’ve got more time to get in touch with your senators and tell them to vote NO on Trump’s dangerous pick for FBI director. https://meidasnews.com/news/i-agree-with-them-kash-patel-voiced-support-for-conspiracy-that-usps-shredded-ballots
Ah - excellent, now she's in charge. We are so...so...soooooo unbelievably fucked.

A 23 year old intern with no security screening with access to the DOEs mainframes is just about the most catastrophic breach of national security since the FOTUS stole our nations secrets and stored them in his fucking bathroom. https://apple.news/AOlCPbA92RCCQjfmb0snmow
🚨BREAKING: Google will soon install an app called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore
They say it's a "safety measure" to protect your #privacy, but in fact it's client-side scanning.
Yet, we all know that client-side scanning is bad: https://tuta.com/blog/eu-client-side-scanning
Deinstall the app on your #Android: System -> Apps
I miss the innovation of keybase.io

Wired has been killing it lately on covering what may well be the biggest security breach this country has ever seen. They obtained an email sent by an intelligence team within the U.S. Treasury Department that referred to Musk's actions to unilaterally slash and burn government agencies as "the single greatest insider threat risk" they have ever faced.
"There is ongoing litigation, congressional legislation, and widespread protests relating to DOGE’s access to Treasury and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service,” the email reads, per the tech-focused outlet. "If DOGE members have any access to payment systems, we recommend suspending that access immediately and conducting a comprehensive review of all actions they may have taken on these systems."
"There is reporting at other federal agencies indicating that DOGE members have performed unauthorized changes and locked civil servants out of the sensitive systems they gained access to,” the ‘Recommendations’ portion of the email continues. “We further recommend that DOGE members be placed under insider threat monitoring and alerting after their access to payment systems is revoked. Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even “read only,” likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Meanwhile, The Washington Post reports the warning came from a Treasury threat center run by the govt contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. The Post reports that late Friday, Booz Allen said it had “removed” a subcontractor who wrote the warning and would seek to retract or amend it. “The draft report was prepared by a subcontractor to Booz Allen and contained unauthorized personal opinions that are not factual or consistent with our standards,” company spokesperson Jessica Klenk said. Booz Allen won more than $1 billion in multiyear U.S. government contracts last year.

@GottaLaff @lisamelton The courts will toss these - even in Texas a judge has already told Ken Paxton to fuck right off threatening Costco.
@politico @energy-environment-politico "untruths" is such a bullshit word. Just say lies - that's what they are. Don't sugar coat it just cause it's from a government "official"
I really do not need campaign fundraising texts from Democratic politicians right now.
I would like "this is what we are doing about the current crises" notices instead.
I document Trump's 7 most destructive actions undermining our Republic, and share 7 meaningful actions we can take to counter his fascism.
Actions you can take locally, actions that don't cost money, and actions that have a meaningful impact.
I also ask Dems in power why they haven't organized a meaningful response? What are they waiting for? We are way past out of time!
@w7voa I thought there was a rule about holding two government positions at the same time being, ya know, illegal.
@WarnerCrocker I've really enjoyed watching an app called ground.news showcase headline discrepencies based on political affiliation (well, left vs. right leaning). Fascinating how much control these companies have on our brains.
So excited to play this - been a Civ player since I was in 7th grade - Civ 1 on a Packard Bell! https://flipboard.com/users/DigitalTrends/statuses/HxeQu9g6RNuag6In5NIP0w:a:201375877
One of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s aides warned Republicans not to subpoena former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson because doing so would likely reveal all of the sexually explicit text messages Republicans have been sending Hutchinson since 2018.
