I mean, probably worth at least a second look, right?
Second look at strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as basis for government?

Andor nails it — Many of Nazism's earliest supporters ended up in the camps. The man who wrote 'First They Came For' was an anti-communist Minister who cheered the incarceration of socialists. The poem is a warning about the dangers of supporting authoritarianism that you think works for you.

I feel this. The urge to at the very least archly raise an eyebrow at some voters is very real and also utterly fucking aside the point. The past happened; we have things on fire right now. Litigating the past is a luxury item. Dealing with the present is a necessity.
Friends:
I do not want to see any kvetching about people on the left who didn't vote for Harris. Those mistakes didn't decide this.
White supremacists & whoever else wouldn't vote for a Black woman did this. Misogynoir.
The enemy is WHITE SUPREMACY and FASCISM.
Solidarity time. Now. Shore up.

You know how they say that Jules Verne became a better writer when the submarine was eventually invented? I feel like Margaret Atwood's star is seriously rising.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what this means, but it feels like it's telling everyone they can perform cyber attacks against us at will.
What an insane move, even for this cartel. Killing the CSRB sends a very clear message.
DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.
This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.
That review is "dead," person familiar says.

“Helluva Boss” is a show about rising above what a powerful world tries to tell you you are and finding love n’ family despite everything you have been through. I’m saying that today because I feel it strongly today. That’s what it is, that’s what we want it to be. A story we care about telling. ❤️

Reminder.
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
