Tweet: 'Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes. Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry'

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power.

Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe:

Can’t wait for the images of empty shelves in American stores in a few weeks and the accompanying posts that will say things like “what is this, COMMUNIST RUSSIA now?!”

Nope, that is corrupt capitalism at work.

Jerome Powell to Donald Trump: Fuck off you can’t fire me, it’s illegal.

That won’t matter to Trump but if he takes out Powell, the economy will literally explode and he’ll end to dragged out of the WH like Mussolini.

Finally someone with both balls and leverage.

It’s gotten so bad that Donald Trump has his own party members afraid of retaliation if they dare cross him. We need a Senator who stands up for Michigan, even if it means standing up to Trump. That’s exactly why this race, and holding on to this seat, matters so much.

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems.

www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data The IT team met to discuss insider threats - namely, the DOGE engineers, whose activities it had little insight into or control over. "We had no idea what they did," he explained. Those conversations are reflected in his official disclosure. They eventually launched a formal breach investigation, according to the disclosure, and prepared a request for assistance from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). However, those efforts were disrupted without an explanation, Berulis said. That was deeply troubling to Berulis, who felt he needed help to try to get to the bottom of what happened and determine what new vulnerabilities might be exploited as a result. In the days after Berulis and his colleagues prepared a request for CISAs help investigating the breach, Berulis found a printed letter in an envelope taped to his door, which included threatening language, sensitive personal information and overhead pictures of him walking his dog, according to the cover letter attached to his official disclosure. It's unclear who sent it, but the letter made specific reference to his decision to report the breach. Law enforcement is investigating the letter. While investigating the data taken from the agency, Berulis tried to determine its ultimate destination. But whoever had exfiltrated it had disguised its destination too, according to the disclosure. DOGE staffers had permission to access the system, but removing data is another matter. Berulis says someone appeared to be doing something called DNS tunneling to prevent the data exfiltration from being detected. He came to that conclusion, outlined in his disclosure, after he saw a traffic spike in DNS requests parallel to the data being exfiltrated, a spike 1,000 times the normal number of requests. When someone uses this kind of technique, they set up a domain name that pings the target system with questions or queries. But they configure the compromised server so that it answers those DNS queries by sending out packets of data, allowing the attacker to steal information that has been broken down into smaller chunks. "We've seen Russian threat actors do things like this on U.S. government systems," said one threat intelligence researcher who requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly by their employer. That analyst, who has extensive experience hunting nation-state-sponsored hackers, reviewed the whistleblower's technical claims. Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. The attempts were "near real-time," according to the disclosure. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming. Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts - and the person had the correct username and password, according to Berulis. While it's possible the user was disguising their location, it's highly unlikely they'd appear to be coming from Russia if they wanted to avoid suspicion, cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR explained. On their own, a few failed login attempts from a Russian IP address aren't a smoking gun, those cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR said. But given the overall picture of activity, it's a concerning sign that foreign adversaries may already be searching for ways into government systems that DOGE engineers may have left exposed. "When you move fast and break stuff, the opportunity to ride the coattails of authorized access is ridiculously easy to achieve," said Handorf. What he means is that if DOGE engineers left access points to the network open, it would be very easy for spies or criminals to break in and steal data behind DOGE. He said he could also see foreign adversaries trying to recruit or pay DOGE team members for access to sensitive data. "It would not surprise me if DOGE is accidentally compromised."

As we wait for a verdict that only impacts trans people, and in which no trans people were allowed to speak, I remind you of the last year in the Mail, Times, Telegraph and Guardian when it comes to trans people.

None of these were written by trans people
hleehurley.com Lee Hurley @hleehurley.com · Apr 15
I have one year of data regarding articles on trans people in the Mail, Times, Telegraph and Guardian/Observer.

In 365 days, they have printed a combined 1,075 articles, nearly all attacks.
