Angelina Jolie used her Instagram platform to shed light on Russia’s so-called ‘human safari’ in Kherson. It is a deeply important and much-appreciated gesture.

Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.

The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

This movement is about delivering something better for New Jersey — lower costs, more opportunity for our kids, and a government that's truly accountable to the people.

Been on BlueSky for a bit now. Unfortunately I still have some valuable Intel sources on the other platform but each time I make the switch between the two it is so refreshing to see more authentic content that does not feel forced down my throat by some BS money grubbing algorithm. Keep it up!

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Another mindfuck is realizing that decision about some aspect of a massive company. There wasn't some process or jury. There's just Some Person that decided most of it. And when that person is you, you get it. People come and think a choice was some huge deliberation. It wasn't. You just... decided.

Sen. Bernie Sanders held a "Fighting Oligarchy" rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when he received news of President Donald Trump's strikes on Iran.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get.

So why don’t they insist on a vote?

They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

Note to self: start scheduling backups and don’t be surprised by cyber attacks from Iran or their supporters. Right after dismantling CISA, perfect timing.

Cherry Hill, New Jersey:

This seems like a phisher's dream. Announcing that a government email is about to go out and that recipients are required to respond to it seems like the kind of thing cybercriminals would love to spoof in order to infect workers or trick them into revealing their login credentials.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to fast-track a long-awaited overhaul plan, @martinmatishak.bsky.social reports. DOD leadership also wants to know if CyberCom needs new authorities or faces legal hurdles. bit.ly/3D5zHoH

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator.

He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
