It was an epic failure. They lost tons of food and it was a huge income loss for Alabama.

Well, in his defense, the company has to pay for the security. He wouldn’t even consider it.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

I have red ones in my yard. My neighbor has pink. I’m starting to favor the delicacy of this one. (They’re both like they’re made of plastic!)

This is mind blowing. I can not even tell you the amount of trainings we had to go through each year. DEI, equality, accessibility, etc. He pretended he was totally with us. He came to the Women’s March. We had gay parade floats.

I mean, I was a Sr Director and my mouth is on the floor. Grotesque!!

We will not be terrorized by them…
