“With Amazon’s role in ICE ops under greater scrutiny and Bezos’ dismantling of the organ that once proudly declared itself on being a defender of democracy, it’s worth examining how close Amazon and Trump are—& how closely aligned their projects are” www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/how-jeff-b...

when my two factor code has "404" in it ... that's good luck. going to be a blessed banking session

The inspector general is investigating whether ICE’s surveillance is legal. Even if this doesn’t result in any changes it will likely result in more details about how these systems work and that will hopefully be useful: www.404media.co/inspector-ge...

Going on Brian Lehrer in a sec to talk about ICE surveillance say hi (don't say hi): www.wnyc.org/shows/bl

i have seen multiple people say this. that the satellites are going to fall out of orbit, and then what? do people think they are going to stop launching new satellites? spacex is launching rockets every 2-3 days at this point. starlink is profitable, they are not going to stop doing it

Thrash Particle is the best modern baseball song, we all agree with this yes?

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

The SpaceX/xAI merger situation is actually pretty important and, I think, very bad. "Data centers in space" is a bit of a pipe dream, but SpaceX now dominates low-Earth orbit in a highly concerning way. Starlink is real and could monopolize a lot of things.Not Good! www.404media.co/this-spacex-...

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists www.404media.co/the-washingt...

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

this is program police were using to funnel flock data to ice. so, good move

this is fucking crazy

We're doing a reddit AMA! right now! come! www.reddit.com/r/technology...

this is pretty wild. good argument for lockdown mode if your threat model is one where you might have your phone seized by the Feds: www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...

At 12 ET today me and Jason are doing AMA on the main technology subreddit about the tech ICE is using, the nationwide network of AI Flock cameras around the U.S., and the state of surveillance in general. Get your questions in before then: www.reddit.com/r/technology...

New: How ICE’s top contractor, one of America’s biggest private prison operators, monetizes virtually everything ICE does including bounties on immigrants, rapidly expanding detention centers, and intensive surveillance. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Home buyers now have a bit of leverage? That's new! san.com/cc/is-the-er...

a stranger texted me "the die is cast" yesterday and truly it is

really important story here:

I think this SpaceX / xAI merger is likely to be very important (bad) in ways that are both predictable and ways that I’m not sure about yet. I think it is undeniable that Starlink/reusable rockets/spamming satellites into low earth orbit is a very notable thing. Combining that w bad ai company-idk

remember when cal ripken’s mom was kidnapped but it was like possibly some elaborate hoax or setup and no one ever figured out what happened? does anyone know what happened

i just feel like i'm not sending that many emails idk

New: The DOJ left multiple unredacted nude images in the Epstein data dump. They only removed them after 404 Media reported the links. This is very disturbing: www.404media.co/doj-released...

BREAKING: The Department of Justice left multiple unredacted photos of fully nude women or girls exposed as part of Friday’s dump of more than 3.5 million pages of files related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.
