I don't know how Teramind managed to get two people's photos completely mixed up with somebody else, tag a dead person as the future of cybersecurity, and include someone under community legal action, but this is the most egregious case of LinkedIn lists I have ever had the luck to be included in.

Despite Trump being obscenely loyal to Putin, there's no doubt Russia will continue to get their hooks in good even more than they have already. This is just sending a message that the US is becoming weaker. Putin does not, and will not ever regard any western nation as an ally.
The Trump regime's withdrawal from international "cyber" orgs will weaken cybersecurity coordination and help spread authoritarianism.

Doxing has almost ceased to have any real meaning, it used to mean revealing the personal details of someone who is anonymous or pseudonymous online but it has morphed into naming anyone online or off it seems.
The word “doxing”—and yes, since there’s anti-doxing laws, I guess you could say in a legal sense—means to reveal private information. Like publishing a home address or phone number. Vance and others are trying to redefine it to limit scrutiny into public records.

Jonathan Ross is a murderer, and he must not be allowed to get away with it.
"It would be hard, but not impossible, to try the ICE shooter on state charges and obtain a state-law conviction that Trump couldn’t wipe away. It might seem like the longest shot in the world, but honestly, we have to try something, anything, to stop this — not just in Minnesota, but everywhere."

Maybe the FBI will be honest and not cover up, harass witnesses, destroy evidence, and obstruct justice. And maybe my hair will grow back.
If the FBI agents do what I think they’re going to do, though, we should know their names, and they should never have another day of peace.

"The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has just revealed that federal officials have 'reversed course,' and the investigation into the killing of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent will be conducted by the FBI without assistance from the BCA."
