I believe we underestimate the danger posed to us by people motivated to kill us all for the flimsiest of reasons and with little any motivation to value the surety of their demise in the execution of their plans to commit murder.
It's our greatest vulnerability as an ironically, predatory species.

Can't stress enough that this is why you use burners for EVERYTHING.
So... who gets to keep the phone numbers and use them "for promotional and marketing messages"? Trump? The RNC? The US government?
This all seems very, very sketchy and bad.

So a DC-based colleague sent me this -- but apparently to get alerts from the White House you have to agree to *promotional and marketing messages notifications and customer service communications*

A look at a very troubling development, even in the context of a hundred fires burning every day, with some comments by me
I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

It does them no harm to follow the procedure they know they'd be asked.
The court wants to be sure victims are fully protected and if not, it'll need to weigh how to do that if they play release.
