Thanks to @dangoodin.bsky.social for writing one of the few articles that actually questioned the @nytimes.com report.

This statement by @nytimes is factually incorrect. The vast majority of Caracas residents didn't lose power on January 3rd, not even "for a few minutes". This can be verified through publicly available data, videos of the attack, and testimonies from people on the ground. 🧵

Again, it's reprehensible that none of the press reports on the power outage in Venezuela even bother to mention that we bombed the sh*t out of two substations. I feel like I'm going crazy. Cyberattack in Venezuela Demonstrated Precision of U.S. Capabilities 1/4 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

Venezuelan gov accounts are returning to X. But X is still blocked on the major ISPs, including state-owned, so far. Not sure why so many intl folks are assuming it means unblocking, look at China, Russia, Iran… Follow @vesinfiltro.bsky.social for evidence-based updates on this #KeepItOn

Internet disruption in #Cameroon beginning at 03:53 UTC earlier today. Reports of a loss of submarine cable connectivity, although the main trunk of WACS seems to be fine. Traffic volumes to major operators in Cameroon exhibiting odd pulsing behavior.

Repudiamos el atentado del que fueron víctimas hoy en Colombia los venezolanos Yendri Velásquez @yendrive.bsky.social y Luis Peche @luispeche.bsky.social, activistas y aliados. Recordamos la obligación de la comunidad internacional de brindar protección a los exiliados y perseguidos venezolanos.

A los españoles "anticolonialistas" no se la ha quitado la maña MUY colonialistas de querer explicarnos lo que pasa en latinoamerica a los latinoamericanos y querer decidir que es lo mejor para nosotros.

🔴 Este #8Ago se cumple un año del bloqueo ilegal que dejó a los venezolanos sin acceso a la red social X (antes Twitter) y sin la aplicación de mensajería cifrada Signal. Te contamos cómo han transcurrido estos días de represión y censura digital. 🧵⬇️ vesinfiltro.org/noticias/202...

20 years ago today, July 14, 2005, I created "Link finds a WTF" on YTMND, later becoming better known today on the Internet after it took on a life of its own as "WTF BOOM!". To commemorate this 20th anniversary, I've remastered my original WTF BOOM! YTMND in 4k. #ytmnd #wtfboom

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Not to be dramatic, but Central Park changed my life.

If they can do this to Andrys, who's next? "Repulsive" and "evil" don't even scratch the surface—this is one of the darkest periods in American history, and we're living through it right now. /6

Two photos that should deeply disturb you. A thread. 🧵 The first photo is of a young Venezuelan named Andrys—a 23-year-old gay makeup artist who was disappeared by the Trump administration, recently identified publicly for the first time. /1

Thinking about this classic recently, which is available free here: monoskop.org/images/d/df/...

there is no way this ends well

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Rather than ensuring cybersecurity, #Myanmar’s newly adopted #CyberSecurity “Law” grants the military sweeping powers to control online spaces. The law deviates from international human rights standards and threatens privacy, digital security, and more.

"Trump’s order ... deprives 20 million Iranians, or a fifth of the population, of US-supported VPNs they use to bypass Tehran’s internet curbs."
