If Karoline Leavitt or anyone in this administration has receipts showing that Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13, or engaged in human trafficking, they’d be presenting them in a power point presentation every single day.

“…members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access…”

What kind of shady s**t is going on here??

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

This is an openly fascist statement full of open and explicit violations of the Constitution -- not just several amendments, but the Constitution itself, as habeas corpus was deemed so important they didn't wait for a Bill of Rights -- from the Vice President of the United States.

The Hague awaits.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Please see.

And speak out.
He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Most of the US cybersecurity conferences embrace the *aesthetics* and naming of cyberpunk ethos while charging thousands of dollars to attendees many of whom build increasingly alarming surveillance tech for militaries, intel agencies, police, and massive corporations.

Cybersecurity is a part of the tech industry that embraced the aesthetics of the cyberpunk ethos and "speaking truth to power"

The reality of the industry is overall the complete opposite of that, with some exceptions of certain people who I'm really grateful for.

Pretty disappointed overall in the response of the cybersecurity community to literal nazis taking over the government. I can count maybe a dozen colleagues using their skills or even speaking out about this.

This is Gaza. See the beachfront land l? This is what Trump and Kushner want to develop.

Any elected Democrat who looks at the events of the day and communicates “We’ll find ways to work with this” and not “We’re going to fight this” needs to go. I get that they will have to work with it on some practical level, but when Trump is in shock and awe mode, meet the damn moment.

This is the most dangerous nomination that nobody is talking about.
