As bad (and it is bad) as this entire SignalGate thing is in and of itself, there is literally no gov’t agency remaining that can or will bring charges, dismiss the guilty, or deliver accountability. Media would do everyone a favor by reporting that part of the story. #politics #signalgate

I used to have Boris Johnson on WhatsApp, as he listed his phone number online (which later became a news story), and I used to add him to WhatsApp groups. Still better security than the US Gov, it turns out.

Hey y’all, I’m talking to Tay offline. Please grant them reasonable grace. They’re a real human who is very isolated and going through the same shit as the rest of us in a pretty physically and mentally unsafe situation.
