This evening I did a shadowy No Kings training for ICE observers with a secretive cabal of 20,000 people who joined a recondite YouTube stream by following a clandestine public link.

Critiquing the F-35 purchase isn’t emotional, irrational anti-Americanism, as James Fergusson baselessly claims here. It’s based on a sound, rational understanding of how networked devices function. Pretending the problem doesn’t exist won’t make it go away.

TAKE ACTION: No tech for ICE!
Today we're launching an action aimed at 🇨🇦 company Hootsuite 🦉, a registered B corp required to respect human rights... and somehow a company actively seeking a billion dollar "social listening" contract with ICE.
Speak up here!

NEW: Microsoft handed the FBI the recovery keys to decrypt the hard drives of three laptops encrypted with BitLocker.
BitLocker is enabled by default in modern Windows laptops, but Microsoft also prompts users to upload the recovery keys to the company's cloud, which opens up this possibility.
With whatever mildly ideological * they care to add, this should be the worldview of every Canadian leader.
This speech is empirically correct, clear-eyed, and should define how we think of ourselves well above the daily political scrum.
on the evening of 9/11 i worked in the operations center at the state department helping field incoming calls & cables. ally after ally promised support under the north atlantic charter. trump is shredding the bonds that make that kind of support natural.

Canada cannot stand by while Donald Trump uses tariffs and intimidation to pressure allies who are doing the right thing.
Trump’s threats toward Greenland should terrify people and send a chill through every democracy.

Today we're leaving X. If you're still there, we think you should consider leaving too.

President Trump is keeping proceeds from the first sale of Venezuelan oil in an offshore bank account based in Qatar, according to reporting from Semafor.
The sale was worth $500 million. trib.al/ylz4Msu

Thinking the absorption of Greenland would be followed by extension of democratic rights to its citizens (who would immediately vote to leave) is a comical but dangerous failure of imagination.
Not the Trump plan for Greenland.
Not the Trump plan for Canada.

Horrified by reports of thousands of people killed during the protests in Iran. These are people murdered by a tyrannical regime willing to sacrifice every last person in the country to stay in power.

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates.

This is an astounding story, including Flock's typical reaction of blaming everyone else and refusing to take responsibility.

Trump's threat of a criminal indictment is a pretext for trying to strip the Fed of independence, Chairman Powell says. It is about whether monetary policy can be directed "by political pressure or intimidation."

a rather significant portion of the founding was based on “no guys like Donald Trump in particular”
they really specifically wanted to avoid this type of know-nothing demagogue
