The Pentagon is notifying millions of current and former U.S. military servicemembers and staff that hackers stole their *unencrypted* personal information during a months-long data breach. The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases.

So Trump accounts just went from a stupid thing that SSA was unfortunately roped into being involved with to something that is problematic on a few levels. Auto enrolling kids into an account managed by a private investment company is just putting all our kids info up for sale without consent. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

"Historically, immigration officers counted only cash benefits, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or Supplemental Security Income from Social Security, in their evaluations." Now? There's no specification about which programs to consider. SNAP, Medicaid, school meals, etc.

Once upon a time, a bunch of random people stood up at the same time in defiance of something they opposed. And through the fog and fear and despair they found each other. They formed unbreakable friendships, they did things that will never be known to most.. all that matters is that they stood up..

Something to keep in mind as we head towards the midterms. Republicans (be they MAGA, MAHA, or traditional) have wasted our tax dollars in so many ways. And they could have stopped this waste, fraud and abuse. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but may capture some unrecognized waste. 🧵

9/11 is hitting me differently this year. This year I'm mourning all that we, as a country, have lost as a result of 9/11. With everything that is going on in this country right now it has really brought it into focus. The most valuable thing that we, as a country, have lost is our freedom.

It's been 25 years. The day that changed the course of history for generations & shifted the trajectory of nations. 9/11 remains indelible, a forever scar cut into us by the blunt edge of hate & treated by the bravery of love. We remember who & where we were but we're still becoming who we will be.

Fighting back is rarely an option in many SA situations, something I frequently remind officers, detectives, attorneys, & the occasional jury. Saying "I think you've made your point" doesn't determine the r@pe's end. The perpetrator decides. Law enforcement & courts would do well to remember this.
