Good. Doxxing the gestapo is an act of heroic patriotism.
“The founder of ICE List, a website which shares the first & last names of ICE and Border Patrol agents and DHS employees enforcing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said that a DHS whistleblower shared with him the personal information of close to 4,500 federal agents & employees.”

And “Blueprint for Revolution“ by Srđa Popović. He was one of the leaders involved in overthrowing Milosevic. The book is full of stories of effective actions taken against other regimes. It’s good for mindsetting.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

Huge thanks to the New York Times Book Review for naming the revised Cult of the Dead Cow one of its three nonfiction paperback picks of the week. Here is no-paywall version: www.pilotonline.com/2025/12/17/p... #books #hacking
Paperbacks worth reading or giving, from histories to novels
Good books on Handel’s ‘Messiah,’ hackers, saving seeds in the Siege of Leningrad, an Indian school before Wounded Knee, and more.
