This is bad. :(

David Stern, the CISA official behind the agency's Pre-Ransomware Notification Initiative (PRNI), has quit the agency after he was forced to relocate to FEMA's Boston office by the new DHS leadership www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/cisa-ra...

Because we've seen the piece now, and Weiss' stated reasons for taking the extraordinary step of pulling a scheduled, promoted piece at the last minute are pretty obviously frivolous.

lol yeah that’s fuckin airtight wrap it up everybody no one’s ever been stupid and evil at the same time

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

"Why is any of this okay with so many of those who once claimed to be free-speech champions or absolutists? Because, quite obviously, they were not." I endorse. And admittedly feel some frustration it seems @adamserwer.bsky.social and others do too, having seen through this crowd clearly for years.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Grotesque as he is, Trump has his sense of humor. Too much of one, if anything. But he knows, or did back when he knew things, how his shtick's a self-parody persona. Vance otoh is a debate me bro twitter reply guy, the smarmy tone of a guy who's cloyingly desperate to be the chad in a soyjack meme.

maybe I’m being too optimistic given, well, everything but I just don’t think this guy running an explicit white nationalist campaign is going to have anywhere near the juice his boss does he is a repellent man with a repellent message and people are tired of it all

Bari Weiss and David Ellison have killed a broadcast news story that would have embarrassed Donald Trump

I grieve in glitter

Rick Steves sees the world around him clearly—including the world right around where he lives.

36. Finally this. The mark of the fossil fuel shill who never loses the arrogance to walk into a room, say "the sun doesn't shine at night and its not always windy", drop the mic and leave, confident that no one else knows what they just discovered.

joining the great machine consciousness

*taps sign* Any individual member of the House can force a vote on impeachments and anything impeachment-related.

Honestly, it’s the perfect role for a VP. They’re usually the more partisan one and they usually need something to do. Imagine the joy of Tim Walz in a hard hat, behind the wheel of a wrecking ball

This is the way.

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

It's very easy to laugh at the Trump regime's frequent legal incompetence but their hit rate doesn't need to be very high in order to successfully intimidate people. Even an absurd prosecution like this has a chance to succeed.

Hi Senator, excuse me for jumping in, but... while I agree with you that this is really damaging, I couldn't help but notice YOU VOTED FOR THE FREAKING BILL THAT GAVE TRUMP THIS POWER (which some of us warned you not to do). www.senate.gov/legislative/...

(Not you, Don. You're alright.)

In order for America to actually heal its divisions, we need to reckon with its two original sins: the genocide of Native Americans by the initial government structures during and after the Revolution, and the deliberate sabotage of Reconstruction by the racist remnants of the South.

🙄 Sen. Mark Kelly has been spending spam texts asking for money to take on Trump and Hegseth’s department of defense’s investigation targeting him less than 24 hours after he voted to approve a $900 billion defense authorization budget for a pentagon run by Trump and Hegseth. Cynical and gross. 🤮

LOL - Senate (and House) Republicans are ending their "probe" into Hegseth's boat strikes after they got Schumer, Durbin and majority of the Senate Democratic Caucus to vote for a $900 billon defense authorization bill for Trump/Hegseth.

I would’ve used the word “extremist” instead of “activist” in this headline. “Dangerous” and “problematic” could’ve worked too instead of “far-right.”

I made a similar joke to someone IRL and they said "they won't let you do that." Brother... Did it sound like I was asking? We're pulling that shit down like Saddam's statues idgaf

See the newly released photos here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cl62l...

NEW: Oversight Dems are releasing additional photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate to the public. We will continue releasing photographs and documents to provide transparency for the American people. It’s time for the Department of Justice to release the files.

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls

All of this. And we saw it all over again this year with the incredibly parochial Mamdani Discourse that immediately supplanted any news/lessons from places like Wisconsin because the incredibly parochial White Male Gen X/Elder Millennial Pundits all live in NY, DC, & SF: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

This 💯% 👇 "The result is a preposterous dynamic in which (non-elite) Cassandras, who often live in red areas and talk to MAGA zealots every day, are lectured on understanding them by columnists who may have never talked to one, on their own turf, in their entire lives."

🧵

they dont do this because they like Trump and want to help him. after he is gone and no longer of use to The Powers That Be, they will all laugh and swap stories about how "everyone knew" how it was much worse than is being openly reported now

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

Fantastic piece.

This dweeb-ass Nazi cuck is running the United States government. I have to imagine his approval rating is comparable to testicular cancer. Seems like a political opportunity for Democrats!

Time to jettison @firefox.com

Lol, walking bag-of-anthropomorphic-shit-devoid-of-any-real-meaningful-values is younger than *I* am and looks *at least* a decade older. Being *his* particular breed of hate-filled, bootlicking scum does a real number on outward appearance of "age." Fuck that guy.

We’re going to have a literal war on Christmas

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

This is today. Call your U.S. representative and tell them to oppose and vote no on H.R. 3492 and H.R. 498. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

just what everyone wants for christmas, an illegal war

president sundown had a very bad day because of the vanity fair piece

Actually any decent economist could tell you that this is false

Good for Mick Foley. However, I do want to know where Mankind, Cactus Jack and Dude Love stand on this
