It’s so cool that they decided to put the half-time show at the beginning of the Super Bowl this year

Last night’s AEW crowd chanting “Fuck ICE!” was great, and it’s also so satisfying that everyone has now seen at least part of a match in which Brody absolutely trounced MJF

This document is one of the great political failures of our time. It must be immediately denounced by all people of good will. And it will be a major scandal if any "civil rights" organization gives cover to this capitulation to fascism.

HoCo folks: Submit testimony to ensure BOTH anti-ICE emergency bills CB16 and CB17 get passed. The hearing is on Wednesday, Feb. 4th at 6pm.

- Sign up to testify in person: apps.howardcountymd.gov/Combined_Council_Testimony

- Submit written testimony by emailing councilmail@howardcountymd.gov

CB16 blocks an ICE detention center from coming to Elkridge and prohibits private detention centers in general. CB17 would keep ICE out of county contracts, restrict ICE from being on county property, and give guidance to county employees and local businesses on how to handle interactions with ICE.

Five questions for risk assessment A risk assessment, or threat model, helps you identity your digital assets and create a plan to keep them safe. Knowing what you're facing is key to ensuring you have the appropriate safeguards in place. Risk assessments change depending on your context, which makes them a great place to start when working on a new story. Start here • Ask yourself these five questions (remix to suit your needs): • Assets: What am I protecting? • Adversaries: Who am I protecting my assets from? • Adversary's assets: What might they be capable of? • Likelihood: How big of a risk is this to me now, based on who I am in the world? • Your resources: What can I do to protect myself?

the only opsec thoughts I will share on the timeline are: everyone’s needs vary because people face different risks. feel free to ignore anyone telling you there’s only one way, and take a little time to threat model your own situation. more here: freedom.press/digisec/blog...

(this is a guide for journalists, but given our overlapping risks and adversaries, I think it can be useful for some organizers, too)
