Also, the people that are driving the policies that everyone thinks justify the 25th amendment would be the ones that had to invoke it.

From @vermontgmg.bsky.social: "This is the end of the world as we have known it for 80 years...There is no strategy behind this exercise in superpower suicide other than the president’s own narcissism, greed, and...general frustration at never being respected by the elites whose favor he desires..."

Once again 90% 🤜🏻🤛🏾 of my Short Stack infosec lists on Mastodon and BlueSky are activism, tech ethics, and human rights posts and I'm very proud of you all. I just really wish more people got the things you do: - everything is political - nobody is coming to save us - action that matters is hard

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, and IMO ABOVE ALL, Mr. Rogers were all motivated by a very specific political perspective that these people would decry as woke beyond words. Mr. Rogers literally spoke to exactly that perspective in congress... and none of them were just trying to entertain kids.

You know what feels great? When your congressional rep was just absolutely silent on ICE, I mean, USELESS. And after weeks of sending them angry emails, phone calls, and letters insisting that they do something, they actually come out in favor of cutting funding to ICE. Hell yeah.

Less effective and more dangerous is basically summarizing the state of the federal government across the board right now.

Hell yeah

meanwhile ICE is parked in front of a church in Le Center Minnesota this morning

There's a lot of things people can't do if they aren't in Minneapolis, but one thing they can do is avoid buying things tomorrow, especially from big stores in solidarity with the strike. That's my plan.

Seriously, there should be superPAC funded commercials airing all the time n major networks addressing ICE, affordability, the Epstein files, and Trump undermining NATO. Just non-fucking-stop.

Both. Talk about both.

Hell yeah

San Francisco Giants owner and Republican Mega-donor Charles Johnson gives millions of dollars to politicians that are now detaining his employees.

Affected communities and people with health conditions deserve accurate information. It is good and necessary to correct one another about these things:

JFC. They really are fucking dumb. Hope he raises hell in the media.

This is top tier shit talking…

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

Keep writing, calling, and emailing your congressional reps and senators. Remind them that this is what ICE money is now going to.

DHS OGC cosplaying as DOJ OLC this whole time should surprise absolutely no one.

Tough shit nerd.

TFW you take an oath to support and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and you’re just not self aware enough to get where intentionally violating the constitution puts you in that oath.

The value proposition of NATO for the US has been questioned recently. The for NATO is as simple as it is strong: NATO has saved the US from having to fight a war against a nuclear peer and the only time Article 5 was ever invoked was in response to an attack on the US.

99% sure the new framework is just him having a slightly better understanding of what NATO is and what it does.

Something about a stopped clock…

Opinion | I’m a Republican senator. If I don’t stand back and let Donald Trump destroy NATO, I’ll be primaried by someone who also lets him destroy NATO but actually thinks that’s a good thing.

The level of stupidity that Mike Johnson freely and publicly shares is wild. You can cite NATO invoking Article 5 after 9/11, but if you really want to point to what we got from NATO, it's the fact that we didn't have a major war between the west and the USSR/Russia. 1/4

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress approve of what the President is doing.

WIRED spoke to 10 residents in Minneapolis about what life has been like for them since ICE seized the city. I know there's a lot of coverage out there, but spend time with this heart wrenching piece:

None of these people know what the international system is, why it’s important, how it works, or what would happen if it went away. They’re playing with the legacy of generations of hard work, and they’re playing with the future of generations to come.

Once more for the wannabe infosec tough guys: Nobody. Deserves. To be. Exploited.

Hey everyone, this Australian who lives in Australia wants you all to know that the Mayor of New York is not his mayor in Australia.

Damn good reason for companies not to bet the farm on AI.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

There's an awful lot of misinformation out there... I just want to say it loud and clear - if you share it, you're not a bad person, just take it down, maybe post a warning to people if you feel so inclined, but if you leave it up, or double down, you're doing harm... just fix it and move on!

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

He’s a grown man and the president, for anyone else, the buck would stop there.

Yarvin writes like he’s trying to win a fight on a web forum that hasn’t been used by anyone in 7 years.

Hell yeah

I fear for this country. Not because the president is a madman, but because the people who could stop him aren’t.

As Trump attempts to blow up NATO, let's remember that Mike Johnson runs the House and John Thune runs the Senate. If they tried to stop Trump, they'd be doing their job. Instead they're letting Trump destroy the world order. They're betraying us all.

"This fiction was useful" is the line that jumps out to me here. "We largely avoided calling out the gaps between the rhetoric and reality." Every statement in here is in the past tense.

Who among us hasn’t nuked their account entirely because a dumb post that was pretty innocuous started doing numbers.

Just broke up a fight, provided psychological first aid, and saved someone from dying of exposure. Now that the kids are on their way to school, time to go to work.

There’s something incredibly dystopian about using a platform called truth social to share a synthetic image of an event that didn’t occur.

Pretty crazy that the party absolutely TANKING the NATO alliance still has positive numbers on national security and foreign policy.

For my friends who are still on twitter, does anyone know if this is getting any visibility there?

Yesterday, Reuters captured ICE breaking down a door and dragging a man out half-naked into the freezing cold in Saint Paul. According to his sister-in-law, they returned him after realizing he’s a naturalized U.S. citizen with no criminal record.

Friendly reminder that there’s a disinformation/misinformation problem on the left as well as the right.
