Preventing explosive diarrhea was apparently too DEI for the DOGE crew

I know it won't make a difference but it's pretty funny that the "evidence" trump posted to make his china hacked the election claim completely refutes that claim.

OTD in 1987 President Reagan signed Proclamation 5680—Captive Nations Week, in which he stated something about Ukraine the current Republican party would regard as woke.

Our @cyberalliance.bsky.social member @sophossecurity.bsky.social published their State of the Ransomware 2026 Report. Insights from 2,158 IT and cybersecurity leaders across 17 countries whose organizations were hit by #ransomware in the past year. check it out: www.sophos.com/en-us/blog/s...

The main document on interference in the 2020 election from the U.S. National Intelligence Coordinating Agency clearly shows one country trying to change the outcome of the election more than the other two, this is in documents Trump himself just had released. This is a stupid conversation to have.

🧵1/ A custom ransomware project was recently advertised on cybercrime forum, and its feature list provides an interesting snapshot of what operators now market as a "premium" ransomware offering. #ThreatIntel #Ransomware

Lots of declassified document releases tonight with this POTUS speech. I'm not seeing anything specific on China manipulating votes, though this stood out from an unclass Aug 2020 NIC assessment:

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump's own file release tonight says Russia was working to attack Biden and boost Trump's re-election campaign.

It's unusual for former FSB employees to be arrested outside of Russia (and extradited) these days. But what's also unusual about Denis Obrezko -- charged with the "Laundry Bear" hack of computers in the U.S. and Europe-- is how careless he appeared to have been online. www.rferl.org/a/russia-hac...

Before or after tonight’s speech, bone up on what the Intelligence Community had to say about the 2020 election. Anything Trump brings up tonight, trained analysts had at their disposal, and considered in their analysis, then. READ: www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/d...

‘What a fuck-up’ - Despite persistent warnings from American and British officials, the Dutch intelligence agencies refused to believe Russia would invade Ukraine in 2022. An investigation by de Volkskrant reveals how they got it so wrong.

Important bit in here -- the Intelligence Community under Trump confirmed before he left office in 2021 that "We have no indications that any foreign actor attempted to alter any technical aspect of the voting process in the 2020 US elections."

Russian Forbes reports that the new draft Russian antifraud law it has seen will require Russian sites to retain customer data for 3 years, even if the user has deleted his account. Would also forbid providing services such as IP telephony to users who don’t use a Russian IP address.

Die beiden politischen Systeme gehen dabei ähnlich vor und lernen voneinander. Doch gerechnet auf Ressourcen und Bevölkerungszahl setzt Belarus viermal mehr transnationale #Repressionen gegen die eigenen Bürger:innen um, als Russland:

Can't recommend this highly enough. Kevin Rudd's wheelhouse, incredibly insightful and entertaining to boot. I'd be interested to follow up on what he thinks about China's appetite to lead a global order, rather than dominate it, and thought the Taiwan section was the weakest. But well worth it.

Cinema by permission: Kremlin censorship is killing Russia's film industry Russian censorship is shelving acclaimed films, rewarding propaganda, and leaving theaters reliant on fairy tales and reissues instead of new movies.

Fun fact: The last time a country tried to impose a toll on an international shipping lane was 1429, when Denmark imposed a 1% to 2% toll on the Øresund Strait. The toll was abolished by the 1857 Copenhagen Convention, at which the US and other nations declared such tolls illegal.

The reintroduction of exit visas in Russia would be the final step in the undoing of the reform process begun by Gorbachev in the 1980s. So many other freedoms introduced since then have simply been reversed; the freedom to travel internationally might be the last one.
