the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Signal will never message you like this. If you get a message like this, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HACK YOUR SIGNAL. DO NOT GIVE THEM THAT CODE.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

To this regime anyone that doesn’t agree with them is a domestic terrorist

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you free to abandon it

How many times have we seen this headline in other countries and how many times has it gone well for anybody involved? I don't think anyone's ready for what comes next.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

hot take, if you want to give an OSS maintainer money, give them money. Github Sponsors exists, or you can literally ask them how/where to donate and everyone will be quite happy to share payment info.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

Having the World Cup and Olympics here under the Trump regime is really a recipe for disaster. Again: why would any player or fan come here under these circumstances? Especially non-white people? Expect more of this👇🏽

So I have only just discovered at some vague point in the next couple weeks Google is going to break the way my work email works, and the company has done nothing to alert people to it. www.theregister.com/2026/01/05/g...

Ask your employer tomorrow why they operate an official account on the Twitter/X web service that built a child sexual assault materials generation machine & why they tacitly approve of pedophilia. Have your fellow employees ask the same question.

The same Republican state legislatures that passed age verification laws for porn are silent on Grok creating and publishing CSAM. It was never about the children.

Well Americans, your leaders just kidnapped the leader of a foreign sovereign nation. How you respond will mark you for a LONG time to come.

Exactly what part of this entire clusterfrack was legal????

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free. consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov

The original Mavis Beacon was, curiously, also a very good typing tutor.

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Cybersecurity was always political. You can't escape effects on defense, intelligence, and even the increasingly flooded industry job market by closing your eyes really hard and sticking your fingers in your ears. You can't escape cybersecurity being political by being, "not really into politics".

PancakesCon & @comfyconau.bsky.social are THIS SUNDAY, September 21st. Here are some final notes on how to make the most of virtual conferences and where to find useful information! pancakescon.com/2025/09/17/f...

I do not know another way to express to people that trying to appease fascists by “being a good minority” or totally deferring to them publicly has saved absolutely no marginalized group or profession in human history. They are coming after us anyway. Even if you scold peers for not being nice.

No one, no matter their age, should have to hand over their passport or driver’s license just to access legal information and speak freely. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

It's neat to say that AI will kill entry level SOC analyst jobs, but if you're a CISO and really believe that, I have to ask where you think you'll get your next generation of "not entry level" SOC analysts from.

This is the moment for image macros to spread their wings and fly.

Since 2021, Mastercard has been imposing strict regulations on platforms that use the company's financial services — and Steam appears to be their latest target. Tell Mastercard to reverse this harmful policy at action.aclu.org/petition/mas....

When people call the Aussie govt "The Nanny State" it is because of badly thought-out and utterly ineffective "regulation" like this: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07... This is just the beginning, and they will not stop.

Do you enjoy guzzling real-time TLS certificate allocations, but don't want to use a third-party service (crt.sh, CertStream, etc.)? Drink straight from the Certificate Transparency log firehose using ctail: $ go run github.com/hdm/ctail@latest -f -m '^autodiscover\.' github.com/hdm/ctail

One more time, here is EFF/Freedom of the Press' guide for journalists securing their devices to cross the US border. Stories like Alistair's help us understand the real threats on the ground and allow us to threat model more accurately. freedom.press/digisec/blog...

There is a maximum amount of time each day you're supposed to focus on the world's problems instead of your own, after which you have a legitimate need for therapy on your thought processes being self-destructive. At some point you have to stop scrubbing your hands you are bleeding into the sink.

The frequency at which the bsky mobile app force signs you out is infuriating, seriously why only this app?

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Google announced they will support privacy preserving age verification via zero-knowledge proofs. You prove you have a signed digital copy of a drivers license and it says you are over 18 without revealing anything about you (name, birthdate, etc) blog.google/products/goo...

Hey DFIR Peeps! I am hiring incident responders in two locations - Boulder, CO and Sunnyvale, CA. It'd be hard to find a bigger CSIRT with more scope and more interesting stuff to do than this one. :D SVL: www.google.com/about... BLD: www.google.com/about...

You know that friend who always had an excuse when you asked them to pick up Baldur’s Gate 3 because there was no cross-play? Well buddy, you’re out of excuses now.
