The President of the United States commemorates Easter by threatening war crimes and dropping an F-bomb We need a new president, immediately, insomuch as this one has lost all control over his faculties

In the immediate aftermath of the death of Renée Good in Minneapolis, FBI agents launched a civil rights investigation into the actions of the ICE agent who shot her. Instead, Justice Department leaders have tried to pursue a probe against Good’s partner.

FBI opened probe on Minneapolis shooting; none exists now, Justice Dept. says

The “we don’t need PMs, just hire more engineers” mindset tech execs seem to have these days is both stupid and short-sighted. Engineers are not good at PM work and they don’t enjoy it, so they’re not motivated to bother learning - especially when “glue work” isn’t rewarded come review time. 😡 1/

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

Call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121) every day and tell your representatives: You swore to defend the Constitution. That Nazi thug president tramples democracy every day. The concentration camps are here. We need you to shout “Impeach!” All together. Every day. (Please repost.)

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means. They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.

"virtually all modern internet services experience [DDoS attacks] regularly and must proactively defend themselves.... [But] some X ... servers...weren't properly secured behind the company's Cloudflare DDoS protection and were publicly visible.....As a result attackers could target them"

What Really Happened With the DDoS Attacks That Took Down X

Elon Musk said a “massive cyberattack” disrupted X on Monday and pointed to “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area” as the source of the attack. Security experts say that's not how it works.

wired.com

Why is the headline on all X outage stories about Musk blaming Ukraine for the DDoS? Why aren't media outlets putting the emphasis on the security lapse that allowed script kiddies (or whoever) to launch the attack against X as well as the lack of any evidence that the traffic came from Ukraine IPs?

For years i had patience with my trump loving former friends. They arent the same people they were 20 years ago, 10 years ago or even 2 years ago. I am no longer able to be friends with them even 5 years ago they would not be friends with who they are today, Soulless, heartless and hateful
