The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization.
This is no different.

This horror obscures a previous one. That previous horror—was that normal? What was there before? How does it relate to the previous one, and to those we see coming? We can't capture every detail, but refusing consign present struggles to the fog of "losing track" is one bucket in the brigade. 3/3

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

Many of us are old enough to have been, to various degrees, politically aware during the creation of DHS. Many people said *at the time* that it was a fascist enterprise established for evil ends, and we were right and have only gotten righter with time. Ramirez is right and she should say it.
DHS is not a rogue agency. Founded without essential accountability and oversight policies, DHS was built to violate our rights and empowered to act with impunity. But true security cannot be realized through oppression, dehumanization, and criminalization.
