TBH at this point I'm rooting for a carrington event en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carring...

Everyone is so quick to call everything a flase flag, when the reality of our situation is just that everyone has become so throughly brainrotted.

Rayhunter 0.7.0 is out! Get it here: github.com/EFForg/rayhu...

“The obvious next step in that playbook is to expand from targeting immigrants to go after anarchists, leftists, and other opponents of the regime…” What does that mean? How can we prepare to weather the storm? Read this @crimethinc.com how-to guide

OUI Spy and Mesh-detect are really cool and inspiring projects for people who are interested in doing counter-surveillance. Check these out!

Bane kicks ass and you should definitely hire him!

My dream phone would have the security hardware necessary to run @grapheneos.org, and also have a lora chip built in. Okay my dream phone would also have a real keyboard, removable battery, and a hardware RF cutoff.

Dutch late night TV has its take

y'all I am SHOOK. I'm rewatching Sneakers (RIP Robert Redford) and they had the audacity, the gaul, the NERVE to say there are FOUR (4) bridges in the bay area. Bay, Golden Gate, San Mateo, and Dumbarton. I will not stand for this north bay erasure!

If I have to live in a nation state, it could at least be functional. And not run by fascists.

You guys, this is what we meant

Social harm warriors

we are in a reverse SJW era

That msnbc guy got fired for saying these words

You can take the L and you can take the W. But a truly three dimensional personality can also take the H.

the mainstream blind spot here is obvious and easily exploited 1. I, the mainstream pundit, am a good person 2. This right winger is friendly to me 3. I, as a good person, would not be friends with someone who genuinely advocated for horrible things 4. My friend didn’t mean the things he said

u guys seemed pretty sure just a little while ago tbh

Federal agencies are sharing data even when they’re not supposed to, EFF’s @cooperq.com told @kqednews.kqed.org. “Even if you personally are not concerned about ICE… it should be concerning to anybody. This is going to be used to further dragnet surveillance.” www.kqed.org/news/120556...

The Hague warned citizens about fake QR codes being placed on top of legitimate ones in parking lots across the city. The codes redirect users to phishing sites where hackers steal banking details. Similar schemes have also been spotted in the UK and US last year. www.denhaag.nl/nl/nieuws/va...

www.bbc.com/news/article... Did this headline timetravel from 1983?

So predictable that several HBCUs are on lockdown because they have received direct threats, and Hampton has canceled classes altogether. Black people are always a scapegoat and a target for white anger.

It was an honor to share messages like this from John Doe government tech workers fighting back against data abuses. Thank you, @eff.org!

The antidote to the Ezra Kline piece from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social. www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Here's my problem with the Ezra Kline piece. Kirk didn't really believe in free speech, he used it as a weapon. He wasn't on the side of 'the continued possibility of American politics.' He would have happily eliminated free speech for gay people, black people, feminists, and leftists.

Some of Charlie Kirk's beliefs for those unaware.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

It's wild how two Minnesota state reps got assassinated last month and it wasn't even news for a day and we all just kinda forgot about it. No moment of prayer from the Yankees, no tearful Ezra Kline think piece, nothing.

I was on It Could Happen Here talking about Paragon, Graphite, and phone safety with the one and only @bishonentype.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Amazing work by @dmehro.bsky.social and the whole bloomberg team here.

This is also the exact vibe of Charlie Kirk obituaries. Nary a mention of how he said he’d hypothetically force his daughter to deliver her rapist’s baby at age 10

Want to learn reverse engineering? There'll be a free, women*-only BlackHoodie workshop from October 6th to 9th in Paris! Topics: • Linux memory forensics 🕵️‍♀️ (by Sonia) • Web app and mobile app pentesting 🕸️📱 (by Paula) • iOS reversing 🍎 (by me)

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

My first birthday was in august and I got to spend it at DEF CON! How many one year olds can say that?!

Rayhunter can help you detect these fake base stations used by ICE. It runs on a $20 mobile hotspot. Check it out at github.com/efforg/rayhunter

Understanding if IMSI catchers are being used to spy on protests is one of the main goals of the Rayhunter project. So far we have not found any evidence of cell-site simulators being used to spy on protests in the US — though we have found them in use elsewhere. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

If you want to fight back against this, check out Rayhunter! A tool to detect fake cell towers. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Great news that the absurd RICO charges against Stop Cop City protesters got thrown out. Prosecutors characterized everything from talking to reporters to recording cops to using encryption as parts of a conspiracy. I wrote about the threat to press freedom in 2023 for @theintercept.com

It’s less a concern that a foe would spread disinformation—“our own federal government is doing plenty of that already”—than that the vulnerability could be used to “lend plausible deniability to any legitimate videos,” EFF’s @CooperQ.com told @TheIntercept.com. theintercept.com/2025/09/08/...

Interesting, I'm sure signal have given this a lot of thought and it will be interesting to see how they did it and what tradeoffs there are. I haven't read the blog post yet, but I know lots of people have been clamoring for it. I still just want chat folders on desktop and ios 😰

Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.

Not a great sign when the NRA is doing more to speak up against trans people having constitutional rights stripped away than a lot of our actual supposed allies are.

La reactivación de un contrato de $2 millones ICE y Paragon Solutions, un conocido proveedor spyware, es preocupante. Sin salvaguardas legales sólidas, existe un riesgo legítimo de que herramientas tan poderosas y intrusivas puedan volver a ser utilizadas indebidamente. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

The reactivation of a $2 million contract ICE and Paragon Solutions, a known commercial spyware vendor, is extremely concerning. Without robust legal safeguards, there is a legitimate risk that such powerful intrusive tools could be misused again. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Ronan Farrow is exactly right. This is a dangerous move by ICE, which will almost certainly harm the constitutional and human rights of US citizens. Plus he shouted out my blog post!

HRDAG stands firmly with the human rights community in insisting that encryption is not optional — it is fundamental to the defense of truth. Any attempt to ban or backdoor encryption technology is a threat to the human rights community. hrdag.substack.com/p/without-en...
