New: The same elite Chinese hackers that broke into AT&T and Verizon to spy on government leaders' calls also severely compromised the National Guard in at least one state for most of last year, and potentially could have used that access to pivot to other states, Guard networks, fusion centers.

US National Guard unit was 'extensively' hacked by Salt Typhoon in 2024, memo says A U.S. state's Army National Guard network was thoroughly hacked by a Chinese cyberespionage group nicknamed "Salt Typhoon," according to a Department of Homeland Security memo.

Skateboards and Livestreams: DHS Tells Police That Common Protest Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’ DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even skateboarding and livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action.

New: DHS tells police to brace for the anti-ICE movement to grow much bigger in threat bulletins last month that lists ordinary behavior, like riding a skateboard or livestreaming, as threatening to law enforcement.

The Trump admin's new talking point on the Big Beautiful Bill: we're going to deport all the farm laborers and make people on Medicaid work in the fields to earn their health insurance.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

AI is fuelling a new wave of border vigilantism in the US A new AI app pays civilians to track people crossing the border – no training, no oversight, no rules.

ICERAID is a new platform that offers crypto rewards for border vigilantism.

It is a clear reflection of a broader system – one that criminalises migration, rewards suspicion, and expands enforcement through private tech and public fear.

At least 37 Palestinians killed in Gaza food site shooting, local authorities say Death toll is highest yet reported in near-daily shootings since US-backed group began aid operations in territory

At least 37 Palestinians were killed on Monday in new shootings in Gaza near food distribution centres run by private US contractors guarded by Israeli troops, local authorities said.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

'No Kings' Protests, Citizen-Run ICE Trackers Trigger Intelligence Warnings Army intelligence analysts are monitoring civilian-made ICE tracking tools, treating them as potential threats, as immigration protests spread nationwide.

"Transparency is not terrorism, and the real security threat is militarized secret police invading our communities and abducting our neighbors," Ryan Shapiro, executive director of Property of the People, tells WIRED.

ICE Quietly Scales Back Rules for Courthouse Raids A requirement that ICE agents ensure courthouse arrests don't clash with state and local laws has been rescinded by the agency. ICE declined to explain what that means for future enforcement.
