I'm a big fan of the app although I should point out that they have a bug that has cropped up and has made the app almost unusable.
You can't tap on the screen a lot of the time and the commands just fail and it sucks.
I've emailed them but haven't heard back.

So I'm learning from a few people that some folk might encounter a paywall to read this article? Not sure how... I've never seen a paywall on Wired before.
If you're seeing that, definitely install something like uBlock Origin, sweet jeebus.

In a previous iteration of my career, I sometimes worked with kids who had been lured by adults on the internet. Without fail, it started on a Meta product. Reading these allegations makes me want to spit fire, because I’ve seen the end result and it can take a lifetime to heal from.

I just want to note that if you're removing the *CIA Mission Center* (presuming this is DIROPS/DO) lawyer because they won't sign off on your strike, you're almost certainly doing something seriously unlawful.
Those folks excel at obscure legal justifications in the "lawful but awful" category.

On the patently unlawful boat strikes
It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.
WaPo's new revelations on firings or removals:
1) CIA General Counsel
2) NSC Legal Adviser

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there:

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.
