When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

I spent years working at the Pentagon and on homeland security. The prospect of a military-developed weapon designed to inflict intense pain being operated by DHS on American soil raises serious red flags. What safeguards prevent its misuse by CBP or potentially ICE? Here’s why I’m concerned.👇

The military never used it in combat. Now U.S. Customs and Border Protection may use it at home.

The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

The FBI was ordered to investigate Californians exercising their First Amendment rights. Ordered by the Trump White House. And federal resources were diverted from cases involving drug trafficking and violent crime in order to further the administration’s cruel agenda.

Trump is using race-baiting to attempt to instigate violence in Minnesota ahead of midterms so he can send in federal troops with a delusion of declaring martial law across USA and seizing ballots. That’s a dream scenario, reality: Blue Wave. Vote. End MAGA, End the Madness.
