Everyone should be on Signal at a minimum, simply because acting like you have nothing to hide until you need it harms all of our privacy rights.
also, it's a great app to use for ordinary everyday chatter. yes it's secure but it's not about being secure, it's about being NORMAL in a way that chat apps mostly fail to be. Having your conversations be ephemeral and not having everything logged somewhere is the normal state of talking to people
Also a huge benefit of using an app just like Signal, in addition to the encryption, is that it's just a normal app and you can blend in with the crowd among people who just use it for ordinary everyday chatter

This is why you fight it the entire goddamn way, these people do not have the attention span or conviction to see things through if their target doesn't immediately roll over!

i think you should be baseline skeptical of ppl claiming to be ex-Three Letter Agency Cool Shit Doers and/or Understanders. Especially when they hint at or outright say things which would be highly classified if true. Like the existence of a technical surveillance program on a specified platform.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

And it's important that we continue to call them out for lying every time. "What did you expect?" is normalizing it and giving them what they want. Noem is a liar and Bovino is a liar and they need to be confronted with that fact every time they speak.
"Officials" are dirty liars.
When authorities used ICE's facial recognition app on a detained woman, it returned two different and incorrect names, raising serious questions about the accuracy of the app. Officials have said the app is better than a birth certificate.

Exactly this, there's a reason they keep *threatening* to do it. It's "I'm going to count to three" when you know there's zero plan for what happens at "three". You wind up with increasingly desperate "two and a half... two and three quarters..."
The threat of invoking the Insurrection Act is way more powerful than actually doing it, and anyone who thinks doing it is a good idea has a terminal case of Twelve Year Old Brain where the victory is that the Army does what I want I win forever because they’re the tough guys from the Army.
Curious if anyone has a plausible theory of victory for the administration if it were to invoke the Insurrection Act.
How does the administration "win" in such a scenario?
Best I can tell, it is magical thinking by a certain somebody at the White House, but maybe I'm missing something.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

"Turn off FaceId and fingerprint id, have a lock screen PIN, your group is only as strong as your weakest link's security" is Good Enough for most people and the "they're watching your signal" scaremongers are not helping

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Sounds like congressional subpoena and FOIA time to me
seems fairly clear that the ICE guys have been told by somebody "if you kill somebody, local police aren't allowed to investigate the scene, and you need to obstruct them"
Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

Horrified and heartbroken for the good people of of this country and especially Minneapolis.

The fact that people almost certainly went out of their way to make sure Fernando Mendoza’s mom could be on the field for the trophy presentation warms my heart in very specific ways, as someone who also has a disabled parent.
