As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

You Went to a Drag Show—Now the State of Florida Wants Your Name If you thought going to a Pride event or drag show was just another night out, think again. If you were in Florida, it might land your name in a government database.That’s what’s happening in Vero

Going to a drag show should not mean you forfeit your anonymity. It should not open you up to surveillance. And it absolutely should not land your name in a government database. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Trump administration fires members of cybersecurity review board in “horribly shortsighted” decision | TechCrunch The Department of Homeland security told members of the Cyber Safety Review Board that their membership was terminated.

All those gov advisory boards just vacated will have national security consequences if not refilled with the most qualified experts for those roles.

We’ll see if party counts more than merit soon enough.

iTerm2 vuln really isn't anything to write home about and has several dependencies for working.
I also have yet to see POC.
If you query your hosts/VMs for /tmp/framer.txt and have no findings, don't let the "critical" rating set your teams on fire.
Patch, but breathe.

I'm so sorry Whitney. Pets are amazing. They bring so much joy to life. Its been over a year, and I still miss my Lando, but it has gotten easier at least. It looks like you gave Thor a great life.

Saw this on FB. #starwars

Imagine needing YOUR MOM go on TV and say you're a good boy (after she blasted you via email), and then promising NOT to drink on the job, being forced out of a veterans group for misconduct and STILL being considered for a job you're not qualified for.

THAT is serious White privilege.

and its been glorious.

This is bad and every Democratic Senator needs to oppose it to make sure it does not pass, because that is our last line of defense.

A lighted billboard inside an airport concourse with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the words, “A house divided cannot stand. Civility is in you. Pass it on.”

Hey, thanks, airport. I guess I was unaware that Lincoln preserved the union and ended slavery through the cunning use of [checks notes] “civility.”

Oh look, another reason to leave Austin.

At the risk of sounding ignorant (which I might be), what else besides voting can we do? The highest court we have has gone rogue, and protesting seems to have limited effectiveness. I'll do my part at the polls, but other than that, I have no idea how to help fix things.

Hi, are you doomscrolling? I know the presidential debate is historically important for a variety of reasons, and you want to be informed about the world. You also deserve enough time to rest and recover. Make an effort to get enough sleep, and charge your phone outside of your bedroom.

Dolly Parton is America as we’d like to see it; the Federalist is America as it actually is.

Threat models matter.

When a platform/service/app tells you they are “private” or “secure” always ask “from whom?”

Criminals, domestic abusers, law enforcement, data brokers, and intelligence agencies are all different attackers with very different capabilities.
