Alt text: A tweet by Drop Site News reports that a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme National Council claims Iran has obtained a large trove of Israeli intelligence documents. The tweet summarizes alleged contents of the breach, including Israel’s nuclear development roadmap, U.S. weapons imports, bribes for Arab leaders, profiles of Israeli spies, personal data from social media users, infrastructure data, legal files, information on prisoners, Netanyahu’s personal files, secret documents, surveillance data, aerial images, CCTV footage, and a banned Knesset debate recording. The claims remain unverified, and the source is described as a known Iranian proxy. A quoted tweet from Mohammad Ghaderi references Iran’s statement on the documents’ significance.

Via Dropsite News: Israel just allegedly got completely pwned by the Iranians. They supposedly leaked everything, mossad files, nuclear secrets, details on bribes, Netanyahu's personal files.

If this is true, this is a historical failure of Israeli intelligence of epic proportions.

Red State Voters Approved Progressive Measures. GOP Lawmakers Are Trying to Undermine Them. In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power…

“This is very much connected to the rise of authoritarianism that we’ve seen across the country,” said the executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. “They can’t win fairly, so they’re trying to rewrite the rules to get their way.”

The Trump HHS' new Cass-USA report against trans youth dropped today, citing - of course - several Jesse Singal blogs and The Atlantic articles. Shockingly, one of them features this notorious birdbrain:

Activists stack coffins outside state department to protest deadly AIDS relief cuts Activists have sent a clear message to the US government: people will die without the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

HIV activists sent an unmissable message.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”.

It’s about racism.

It’s about state terror.

It’s about dehumanization.

Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

Sex work is anthropologically indicated to be literally the foundation of all commerce, barter or trade.

Chimpanzees do sex work in the wild.

The last common ancestor between humans and chimps, who likely exhibited this behavior as well, is estimated to have existed at least 5 million years ago.

Trump administration announces end to gender-affirming care for transgender veterans The announcement comes days after the VA denied it was rolling back policies for trans people’s dignity.

The VA has ceased all gender affirming care for trans veterans.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Marco Rubio # @marcorubio •46m We will be revoking the visas and / or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported

This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

I hope y’all realize that after Trump causes this recession, all HIS buddies are gonna buy up the small businesses HE destroyed— with the new money he just handed them in tax cuts.

Trump made them richer, and they’re gonna use that money to make themselves even richer.

The Great American SCAM!

NEW: Fully leaked diplomatic cable directing the implementation of this policy at all US diplomatic and consular posts.

Alt text: A tweet from Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) posted at 5:00 PM on February 25, 2025. The tweet states that Tulsi Gabbard is preparing a memo directing all intelligence agencies to identify employees who participated in the NSA’s "obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit" chatrooms. The memo also calls for terminating their employment and revoking their security clearances, with a deadline set for Friday. The tweet has 254.7K views, 397 replies, 3K retweets, 12K likes, and 335 bookmarks.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it.

This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre.

They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

I am so glad the Mexican President isn’t taking Donald Trump’s shit. 💙
