After deleting all my other social media, I’m coming to Bluesky to start anew. CISO and Attorney. Privacy and security law. Holding leadership to ethics and transparency is more than a stance, it’s the baseline.

Starting from scratch…again. I deleted all other social media accounts (Twitter, facebook, TikTok, etc…) as I can’t stand the ownership of those platforms. So, time to build up again.

Me? I’m a CISO with a law degree, living in Washington state. I’m blue through and through.

I’ve been asked why I refuse to capitalize “trump.” Simple. He’s not proper (human or noun).

The trump Kennedy Center in 2026 looks to be the U.S. version of 1985’s Sun City boycott.

After numerous artists said they would no longer perform there and ticket sales plummeted, Trump says he is closing the Kennedy Center for at least two years.

In the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from WHO, California is the first state to participate in the agency's disease monitoring network. Are others following?

I truly and honestly hope that trump DOES sue. Seriously. I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the discovery phase pull in every document that the orange turd is trying to hide.
#GVerse #Shit4Brains says he might sue the Epstein Estate for “political harm.”

Read that again.

The guy whose name keeps appearing 13,000 times in Epstein records now wants to sue the estate of a dead sex trafficker for damaging his reputation.

You can’t parody this level of delusion.

The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renée Good are devastating and deeply troubling. The strong national response this week shows Americans will not let these losses be ignored or swept under the rug. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progr...

While ICE’s reign of terror on the streets of Minneapolis has been horrific, Alex Pretti’s murder on Saturday by ICE agents has broken through in ways news stories rarely do.

An open message to (ex)Prince Andrew:

What you did was unspeakable. But, there is time for redemption. Speak up. Be the witness not afraid to name names and expose those who are seeking a cover-up. Don’t cower in the sewers like the rest. Take your punishment and help punish those who took part.

Voting Democrat isn’t blind loyalty. If you’re a D in office and you’re dropping the ball, I’ll be on your proverbial ass. Count on it.

Don’t hide behind fear, “protocol,” or “tradition.” If you think I’ll stay quiet because I vote blue...yeah...think again.

Um, @keithellison.bsky.social, isn’t it about time to put out an arrest warrant for Pam Bondi for obstructing the investigation into the murder of Alex Pretti?

It seems to me that withholding the names of the ICE officers who were involved is, by definition, obstructing the investigation.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

The NRA statement of “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun” no longer holds water.

Alex Pretti was a good guy with a gun.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

MAGA avoids the truth harder than a Siamese cat avoids water.
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"
