Democracy erodes when truth is replaced with fear and chaos replaces accountability. National security isn’t just defense, it’s resilience. And resilience starts with candor. 🔥 Read why truth is our strongest weapon against authoritarianism. #DefendDemocracy

Please stop shaming federal workers for their decisions to stay and fight or resign in protest. You don't know their lives or what they have the privilege of doing. It's like yelling at a rape survivor for not reporting.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

This is a *remarkable* message. Although phrased politely and with no hint of disobedience, Acting FBI Director Driscoll is making clear to all that he's not onboard with Trump's purge. I would expect him to be removed from his position if they can find someone more willing to do Trump's bidding.

I just started listening to Bishop Budde’s book. She reads the audiobook. I’m not religious at all, but am finding it comforting and helpful in these tumultuous times. #bishopbudde #resist #brave #booksky

Just watched a PBS video about the rise of right wing extremism, and saw at least one neo-Nazi give Hitler salute exactly as Elon did…hand to chest, then thrust into the air. It’s chilling, especially when so many deny what it is.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

Disturbing move that may fly under the radar - Trump removes members of PCLOB, the board the oversees privacy in the intelligence community, leaving it inoperable, at least for now.

A “small” story about the removal of the three Democrats on the Private and Civil Liberties Board (PCLOB) is ominous.

Today, I’m reflecting on gratitude. No matter where we’re from or what we celebrate, taking a moment to appreciate life’s blessings, family, friends, and shared connections is universal. Wishing everyone love, kindness, and peace today and always.

Yes, there are tough days ahead. But now is a time to identify the people and the organizations that are your natural allies and who you want to support (and who will support you and your concerns) as the danger and damage unfolds.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

Excited my kids convinced me to launch M4Studio - a YouTube channel to share the behind the scenes of some of my team's most insane investigations over the years - how we burned hundreds of spies, exposed implausible government plots and conspiracies, and leveraged new open-source methods to do it.

In a new "can't make this shit up" . moment, Maria Zakharova gets a call during her live presser today, and you can hear a male voice tell her to not comment the IBCM launch. Is this another Moscow4 moment, or is it a staged poker bluff meant for the West?
