Would anyone be upset if you saw some fist fights break out on the House floor? No, it wouldn't solve the problems...but it would Goddamn sure send a clear message to the citizens of this country how pissed off our leadership is...and how tired of the bullshit run-around they're getting.

The war is here people, its just one they hope will stay bloodless for them. This proves that no target is safe & they will do anything to win. What are we willing to do to stop them, for survival? Whats your breaking point? What would you trade to stop them? www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'” That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

When they say transparency they mean secrecy. When they say efficiency they mean corruption. When they say gold standard science they mean grifter quackery. When they say Make America Healthy Again they mean they don’t give a fuck if you live or die as long as they retain power and profit.

So much for transparency: the CDC's entire FOIA office has been gutted. Person familiar tells me: "Everyone, there's not a person left."

EFF’s @legind.bsky.social spoke with @lifehackerofficial.bsky.social about the best browsers for protecting privacy, and while opinions may vary, there’s agreement on one thing: It ain’t Chrome.

The Best Internet Browsers for Protecting Your Privacy (and the Worst One)

Ultimately, privacy isn't something we can get by installing a particular browser—it's more of a mindset, and it includes strategies that come with compromises to our convenience. Tor, Brave, and Fire...

"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.

Rebecca Williams raised this possibility in Tech Policy Press a couple weeks ago, pointing out that DOGE staff would likely get to work through the shutdown. @rebeccawilliams.info www.techpolicy.press/how-congress...

Sadly, the DOGE crisis will likely have a moment of acceleration if Congress does come to an agreement on an overall appropriations deal by March 14 and the federal government shuts down and furloughs government workers. In previous administrations, OMB and OPM have provided exceptions to all workers paid out of ITOR due to potential cybersecurity risks. This means that DOGE will have well established precedent while most federal workers are furloughed and continue their attempts to access government data and dismantle systems, perhaps with less resistance. If federal workers are furloughed in March, some may never return to work.

ICYMI - Starbucks baristas have gone on strike, and along with allies + former workers, are occupying the lobbies of multiple stores. We didn't want it to come to this. But if participating in civil disobedience is the only way Starbucks will listen, so be it. CONTRACTS NOW! ✊🔥 #ToBeAPartner
