Under any other administration, this would have been quashed quickly, with forces uniting to educate and inoculate those who needed it.

Instead, it's spreading from state to state.

We need to make "Trump" = "f*ck up with willful (perhaps selfish) ignorance".

Those teenagers at the park? They really trumped things up for the little kids.

Boomers complaining about the fireworks? They trumped out the holiday.

Man, that Russian agent? He really trumped all over our country.

He's breaking it into pieces so he can sell it for parts ("privatize" it). That way everything can be "efficient" and "wonderful" – just like health insurance is!!

Holy hell.

"stripped naked, put in a cold shower", "pressured to give up his green card [...] placed on a mat in a bright room with other people [...] with little food or water [...] sleep deprivation [...] denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression"

Indeed. Genuine questions swirling in my head today, as an infosec nerd who's been out of the NGO/policy space for a while:

1) Who's working to put clear-speaking infosec folks in front of congresscritters who might actually care/take action?

2) What help is needed to make legal actions happen?
Listen, I'm not going to pretend that I'm even remotely surprised, but I will tell you that this is a slap in the face to every person in the infosec community that has worked to track and thwart Russian APTs for the last several decades.

The Trump administration has launched a portal where you can report DEI in schools, "ensuring all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination."
