There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.
This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.

They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service.
"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"
WOW.

If another [straight/cisgender/white] person asks me "why I have a backup plan to flee the country" I swear I'm gonna cry again.
Of course I have a backup plan.

The OPM (federal government HR) created a snitch line for anyone to report DEI in the federal government.
The email is DEIAtruth@opm.gov
It would be a shame if the email was flooded. I want to be clear. The trans community is absolutely definitely not well known as tech savvy people.

The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "DEIAtruth@opm.gov."

This is so fucked. This is a real agency communication. From a federal government program. From the *first woman* to hold the NASA administrator program, who probably benefited from a DEIB initiative.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
