Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

this is also uh, why i found the fact that NSA had so many queer employees unsurprising, but to the new right/NatCons, it's basically a mystery why so many elite developers are in the queer community
The infosec guys at Google are the most left wing people I have ever worked with (except for a few crypto bros). Groups that value diversity, more lgbtq than most groups, and politically active. (My team after working in infosec didn't care about DEI nearly as much)

Respectfully, what’s the debate?
The president of the United States has called for the trial and execution of members of Congress in a manner that would make Charles I blush.
As a constitutional matter, I fail to see where there is room for reasonable disagreement about what happened yesterday.

President Trump’s recent statements accusing Democratic lawmakers of making “seditious” comments to military and intelligence community members have ignited a free speech debate.

I was pretty skeptical about AI in observability. but 277 teams have run nearly 4,500 investigations with @honeycomb.io's Canvas since our beta, and it's actually... good?
