They didn't shut down USAID because of the money, they shut it down because of a thorough commitment to white nationalism & ethnic cleansing.

Quite sure there’s more of this out there. We already know about flagrant data exfiltration from the NLRB whistleblower. Much like the destruction of USAID, no one in government took the historic data theft operation at face value.

Why do they need to secure a nuclear program that they claim was “completely obliterated” in June 2025?

Following from the US. Here and even on bluesky in general, it is difficult to find good coverage of what's happening on the ground in conflict zones. To that end, your coverage has been extremely helpful. Thank you for your work.

People are still fixated on the nazi tattoo. Since that came out, he has continued to engage antisemitic influencers. Everyone needs to try to keep up.

The records provide insight into the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on its end-to-end encryption and that it is only governed by Swiss privacy law, can and does provide to third parties. In this case, the Proton Mail account was affiliated with the Defend the Atlanta Forest (DTAF) group and Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, which authorities were investigating for their connection to arson, vandalism and doxing. Broadly, members were protesting the building of a large police training center next to the Intrenchment Creek Park in Atlanta, and actions also included camping in the forest and lawsuits. Charges against more than 60 people have since been dropped. 

Information the FBI received showed a specific person as the payment source for a particular Proton Mail account, the record shows. “On January 25, 2024, subscriber information received from the Swiss Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty Unit, revealed [full name] (SUBJECT) as the payment source for the Proton e-mail address defendtheatlantaforest@protonmail.com,” it reads. 404 Media is not publishing the person’s name because they don’t appear to have been charged with a crime, according to searches of court databases. The document says the FBI believes that whoever manages the Proton Mail account likely has administrative access to the blog. The FBI received details about that Proton Mail account from the Swiss authorities via a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, or MLAT. An MLAT is when authorities in one country agree to provide information to an agency in another country. These are often used when the company or entity holding the information may only respond to local law enforcement demands for data. Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, the company behind Proton Mail, told 404 Media in an email: “We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT. Proton only provides the limited information that we have when issued with a legally binding order from Swiss authorities, which can only happen after all Swiss legal checks are passed. This is an important distinction because Proton operates exclusively under Swiss law.” Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.

Important that people read the article & understand the mechanisms by which these things occur so they can determine their best options now and in the future (i.e., if the Swiss gov't ends the MLAT, the FBI will no longer have that avenue to collect this data. With today's USG, it is a possibility).

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

In addition, Cornacchia has suggested that the global war on terror was conducted “on behest of Israel” and claimed Israel would benefit if another 9/11-style attack were carried out during the tenure of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, saying it would help to drum up Islamophobic sentiment and lead to another foreign military entanglement in the Middle East.

The Jewish state “got exactly who they wanted” in Mamdani, the city’s first Muslim mayor whom the Israeli government has accused of antisemitism, he argued on his own show in November. “Thats their candidate, guys. You got to pay attention.”

The subtext here is they didn’t engage Berlin prior to the mission. Speaks volumes about the current moment.

Not for nothing but there are also online gambling sites that have a much higher threshold for establishing at least ostensible legitimacy than whatever these scam artists were allowed to do here. Just the account specs would’ve led to accounts / assets frozen pending a slew of documentation.

The only criticism I have of this statement is the inherently false implication that motivation for striking Iran has anything to do with a desire to "create enduring democracies in the region". The admin has made it clear this is nowhere close to the objective. We should all stop pretending it is.

It’ll be a seamless oscillation between them calling it a war and not a war. For regime change and not regime change. Unyielding lies and contradictions.

But yes, they launched a war with Iran from Mar a Lago.

Yes, a rampant criminal just announced a war on crime. While pardoning lots of the worst criminals.
