I watched the video and pretty much everyone is representing it pretty much accurately and I don't think you need to watch it if your takeaway is that a bunch of ICE guys were on top of a dude who they were beating and then one of them decided to shoot him at point blank range for no obvious reason

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Call Them What They Are: Time to Fix Cyber Threat Actor Naming The Microsoft-CrowdStrike partnership on cyber threat actor naming conventions is welcome, but more comprehensive reform is needed to serve defenders and the public.

Regarding recent news that Microsoft et al plan to *not* eliminate silly threat actor names, @ciaranm.bsky.social m.bsky.social and Jen Easterly weigh in on the silliness and call for a moratorium on ridiculous marketing names for state-sponsored Russian/Chinese/Iranian/NK hacker groups.

Trump Is Pushing Allies Away and Closer to Each Other

This is exactly what I've been arguing. Perhaps the only positive thing to come out of this administration is the move to a more multipolar world.

Ex-CISA boss says Trump actions risk 'dangerously degrading' US cyber defenses U.S. President Donald Trump's purges and apparent acts of retribution aimed at top cyber officials put the nation's digital defenses at risk, the former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in a post on Friday.

Jen Easterly speaks out on the cybersecurity industry’s silence as Trump goes after Krebs et al:

“If we allow the quiet dismissal of dedicated public servants in our community to pass without comment — we’re not defending national security; we’re compromising it.”

At this point it's not even just that they're lying, it's that the lies are so insultingly obvious. This is up there with "no, the details of an imminent airstrike weren't classified" and "we have no way of getting abductees back from the guy we're paying to house them."

🚨 Erlang SSH RCE (CVE-2025-32433) is a significant supply chain risks to ICS and OT devices, particularly critical networking equipment like routers, switches, and smart sensors. The public availability of a POC makes this vulnerability especially concerning, as it is straightforward to exploit.

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Here's DOGE behaving like an APT or Scattered Spider

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Extensive & really concerning report from NPR here about DOGEs exfiltration of data at the Dept. of Labor. Within the activity were indications of suspicious activity & access attempts from Russian IPs. Overall things that should NOT be happening to US Labor related data www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Everyone seems to have forgotten I attacked Ukraine every single day Trump was POTUS the 1st time.

Every. Single. Day.

In addition to violating Mr. Mahdawi’s First Amendment rights, the Rubio Determination and Mr. Mahdawi’s unlawful detention also violates Mr. Mahdawi’s statutory rights and due process rights. PARTIES 8. Petitioner Mohsen Mahdawi is a Palestinian who was born and raised in a refugee camp in the West Bank. He is a lawful permanent resident of the United States and has been for the last ten years. He is a recent student of Columbia University, with an expected graduation date of May 2025. He has been admitted to a Master’s program at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (“SIPA”), to begin in the fall of 2025.

After growing up in a refugee camp, Mr. Mahdawi felt compelled to advocate for Palestinian human rights upon moving to the United States. 22. Mr. Mahdawi is also a committed Buddhist and believes in non-violence and empathy as a central tenet of his religion. In fall of 2021, he became the president of the Columbia University Buddhist Association and led it for two years. 23. In fall of 2023, Mr. Mahdawi co-founded the Palestinian Student Union (“Dar”) at Columbia University which “serves to engage with and celebrate Palestinian culture, history, and identity.” Mr. Mahdawi co-founded this organization with Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian lawful permanent resident who was also recently detained by ICE for his expressive conduct related to Palestine.

Mr. Mahdawi appeared in numerous televised interviews and print news articles regarding the military campaign in Gaza and related protests. In December of 2023, Mr. Mahdawi appeared on 60 Minutes where he shared that, as a child, he watched an Israeli soldier shoot and kill his best friend in the West Bank. 27. Throughout his time as a student and a leader of Dar and the Columbia University Buddhist Association, Mr. Mahdawi was always willing to engage in dialogue with people whose views and beliefs differed from his own. Mr. Mahdawi believed, and continues to believe, that more speech is the solution to disagreement, rather than less, and that empathy and understanding through communication are a way to resolve conflicts peacefully.

…and a peaceful political solution. Mr. Mahdawi gave speeches at several of these protests. In his speeches, Mr. Mahdawi advocated for Palestinian human rights, a permanent ceasefire, and a peaceful resolution that affirmed the human dignity of all. 25. During one protest, Mr. Mahdawi vocally denounced an unaffiliated passerby who made an antisemitic comment, chanting “shame on him”. Mr. Mahdawi stated that “we are against 2:25-cv-00389 Document 1 Filed 04/14/25 Page 6 of 19 7 antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The confrontation was documented by the Columbia Spectator

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who:
–has green card
–was Columbia Buddhist club president
–saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier
–said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

We need more of this energy. Every single university, business, media outlet, organization, & individual NEEDS to stand up to this administration. Right fucking now & for every day forward. The sooner we push back, the better. We can’t hesitate or be afraid. Fascists rely on that. We cannot give in.

Is this the America we want to live in? Where anyone can be subject to indefinite arrest and imprisonment at the whim of strongmen? Are we going to tolerate an innocent father being ripped from his family with no due process for no reason other than the fact that he is Latino? 2/2

Trump Live Updates: U.S. and El Salvador Say They Won’t Return Man Who Was Mistakenly Deported

Look. This is where the rubber meets the road in our system. Either we are a nation of laws that everyone is subjected to, or we are not. The president of the United States, together with a South American autocrat, appears to believe it’s the latter. 1/2 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

It’s absolutely the case that actions Russia has taken against Ukraine have been wholly unprovoked. Russia has been interfering in Ukrainian politics since at least 2014, then they illegally annexed territory, then attempted to take more by force in 2020. Any rational person supports Ukraine here

More authoritarian behaviour: threatening to use regulatory and economic pressure on a television station which broadcasts political dissent.

Ukraine wants FBI inquiry as Trump calls Sumy strike a ‘mistake’ A senior MP called for an investigation into Russian propaganda in the White House after Trump’s comments on a missile strike that left at least 34 dead

“Trump used to say: if I were the president this would never happen. But now he can’t say this. All these atrocities are occurring on his watch. He is the president now.”

The death toll from Russia’s Palm Sunday ballistic missile attack on Sumy is now 32 killed, including 2 children, and 99 people injured, of which 11 are children, according to the state emergency service of Ukraine.

This is what “partial ceasefire” in the sphere of energy looks like in reality: #Russia may target #Ukraine’s power plants less frequently — but has doubled down on killing Ukrainians, including children. A week ago, it struck Kryvyi Rih; this time, it’s Sumy.

If the US government can pay a foreign power to cage its own citizens, then what weight has parchment and ink? What meaning remains in the Constitution written by men long dead?
