"White House spokesperson Kush Desai attacked us (Washington Post) for covering TACO, labeling them “asinine memes.”" Said with a straight face as Convicted Felon Donald Trump posts memes of himself playing guitar as an attack on Bruce Springsteen, or himself as king. Who's the asinine one?

Fake “KeePassXC Password Manager Pro” repository on GitHub that links to unverified external binary downloads. There is NO Pro version of KeePassXC! You get all the “Pro” features with the regular version. Please download KeePassXC only from trusted distribution channels linked on keepassxc.org

I will not entertain any messages asking for DNC donations (from anyone) until they DO SOMETHING to stop this madness. Stop worrying about being re-elected when you've accomplished nothing to stop the current coup.

EVERYONE should know about this. So much for "transparency" in the Age of DOGE.

The State Dept. is buying 4000 new Cybertrucks, then tries to hide it: Officials removed term 'armored Teslas' from its 2025 procurement list, and replaced it with 'armored electric vehicles' after scrutiny about the $400 million Tesla purchase. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

The first time I ever decided to actually see for myself if Tesla was doing what Musk said it was doing, a decade ago this year, I caught them faking battery swap technology to defraud California's ZEV credit system. Ever since it's just been on fraud after the other. slate.com/technology/2...

There’s a lot to say about the impact of shortsighted cuts to cybersecurity. My colleagues and I have been steadily beating this drum for decades. Now, more than ever, we cannot afford to cut our investments in securing our technology.

It doesn't matter what a judge tells them to do UNLESS AND UNYIL THEY DO IT. Do not take your eyes off of them for a second.

You snooze. You win. While you were sleeping, a federal judge issued an emergency TRO: ➖ blocks DOGE from accessing Treasury systems ➖ requires DOGE to "immediately destroy" any material already downloaded Case brought by attorneys general of 19 states Added to the Litigation Tracker⬇️

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

If not now ... when?

Remember, yes, you are likely taking a risk with every post you make. Who knows HOW crazy and unlawful they are going get, going after perceived enemies. I'll just say this: Without people willing to take risks...nothing notable or meaningful has ever happened in world history. If not us....who?

Dear DNC, DSCC, and DCCC: I don't want to see another fundraising text or email asking for a dollar of mine until I see an actual plan to meet this moment. Y'all had 11 weeks between the election and inauguration, and there's still no plan. There's no excuse for that. No plan, no donation.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.
